i have an x-fi titanium card but i must not be doing things right. i have sound and all but i thing its all windows doing. in device manager it doesn't say anything about creative. theres no creative tools, and when i try and install the latest drivers the installer says theres newer drivers installed and stops. what am i doing wrong? can i not have all the creative bells and whistles on windows 7 64 like i had in xp?
Hello and Welcome !
Check this thread Creative Sound Cards. and download the Drivers.

I will try to answer this to the best of my ability.
obviously make sure the onboard Audio is disabled in bios if you haven't already.
What I have done for my Xtreme-Gamer is go to the Official Site and download the latest of:
1) The Driver for Win7 x64
2) The Audio Console Launcher
Dont Install them just yet.
From the Windows Vista CD that came with your card, choose a custom installation.
Install ONLY the THX Console, and Volume Panel.
Reboot as required.
(Please Note: You may need to browse the disc for setup.exe, right Click and under Properties Tab, choose run in compability mode for Vista SP 1, and also check the Run as Admin box -- then run the setup
Once back in Windows, install the Audio Console you downloaded from the official site.
Then last, Install the driver.
This is how I have done with mine, and have had no issues with my X-Fi Xtreme gamer Under Win 7 x64.
I do not install all the extra software however, and only the main apps.
Console launcher/ and THX Console.
If you want the rest, afterwards download the latest from the official site and install seperate.
(This goes for Alchemy as well)
I hope this helps.
The only other option you may have, is try the Daniel K drivers.
That is if you are wanting all the extra Consoles etc.
I do not think you can DL the THX console or volume control panel from the official site.
why is it that even in device manager the drivers for the audio device says microsoft instead of creative? how do i scrap all remnants from this botched install and start over?
found this RightMark 3D Sound. Products. Audio Rightmark it states that i dont currently have eax..... i dont currently have a game with eax so i cant confirm if this is right. can anyone confirm if their driver says creative as aposed to microsoft in device manager?

high definition audio device
NVIDIA high definition audio
