Asus SupremeFX X-FI

Hi everyone,

I;ve been reading all of the posts around the net about this problem and having the same problem myself.

I have just got it all to work.

You can see my system specs, nothing out of the ordinary- i know this worked for my maximus II formula for win 7 professional X64

I seems that asus have recently updated their website drivers and they seem to work this time i installed the sound max drivers under the audio section marked "2009/11/05 update"

and then found a recently updates XFi sb driver package labelled:
e

Description Sound Blaster X-Fi Utility V1.0(R19) for Windows XP 32/64bit & Vista 32/64bit & Windows7 32/64bit.(WHQL)
Sound Blaster X-Fi Utility V1.0(R19) for Windows XP 32/64bit & Vista
32/64bit & Windows7 32/64bit.(WHQL)


I FOUND THIS UNDER THE UTILITIES SECTION not the audio ( which would have made more sense of course)

It all seems to work, crystalliser and 3D sound and all that.

I hope this brings the relief to you guys that it did to me.

Cheers

2. Download SB Xfi onasus website u can find it in utilities and its done u will be able to unleash the supreme Fx power...

I'm having the same problem but I have a bigger problem.. I could not find the cd key included in my crosshair III installation cd. Is there a way to retrieve it? Maybe purchase only the key?

Hi Mbrian09,

I had the same problem with the software key for a while- but fortunately it turned up. I contacted asus directly and there was nothing they could do for me without the key unfortunately. If you dont have the origional CD Key then you cannot activate the software

I was very close to buying a new card based on not being able to find the CD key- such was the futility of my plight...

Although...having said that, when i was installing the drivers which I mentioned in my original post- there was no prompt for a CD key?! That was for the Maximus II Formula board though. Have a look around the forum and find out weather both boards use the same riser card and perhaps try the drivers i suggested.

Cheers,
Tom

i think u need to find the proper driver for ur card asus updated the website maybe u can find something useful there...

It seems that Asus have no update yet on the Asus Crosshair III for their SoundBlaster Driver. The one that's there requires me to put the cd key which i don't have.

i can not find driver for soundmax AD1986A
