I was playing wolfenstein and every now and then the volume would increase in one go which made me. Now it's doing it with music too , every now and then the volume would shoot up didn't happen in vista.
X-Fi Sound Card issues - Neowin Forums
Seems i'm not the only one
EDIT ( Eax & Svm are off ) , put the crystalizer on 50% from 100% lets see what happens now
I also have an X-Fi card and have not had this issue. Are you sure you have the latest drivers and updates for the card?
do you have a microphone (or anything else) plugged into your card?
any reason why you don't have it running at full volume?
i've got an x-fi gamer too, and i've not had any problems with the card (so far.)
You using just the Creative drivers, or are you using the daniel_k set?
Not that it helps any, but like the other two I haven't had this happen on my Xtreme Music.
Ofcause , you wont find anything older on my comp!
Build computers myself so, it's only started doing it today. I'm using Daniel_K's set which he updated with the latest drivers from creative , never happend on vista or the old versions of windows 7
XFI XtremeGamer , check the link i'm not the only one..
ooop another reply
You know what, I would be playing WoW and WMP in the background with music, and my music would fluctuate in sound.
I haven't had it happen in a while, I dunno what changed it.
No nothing , i do have it running at full volume in software , not speakers though because the house down the road will hear it.. i've also tried 80% in software.
As i said it's fluctuating , like someone is wacking up the volume for a period of 30secs then down again... Then it will go up again and down again , very odd
Just a note about those drivers though. I used those once just to see what the big deal was and they bombed. I wouldn't use anything that isn't found on the creative site.
