Fair enough, but for the most part the Titanium cards aren't the problem childs.
I personally think that if Creative wasn't so greedy the whole X-Fi line of cards could be fixed. Instead Creative just releases a new line and calls them "compatible" with Vista and Window 7.
Just my opinion
well thats business. maybe not the best way to practice it but sometimes profit is a higher priority than customer satisfaction.
If you have a process called CTAudSvc.exe running, then that's the culprit of the shutdown hang.
I have an Auzen X-FI Forte which is basically a Creative card and have the same issue. DDL/DTS enabled results in a hang on shutdown/restart.
If you have that service running, try creating a batch file that kills the process:

No worries mate, I'm glad it worked :)
Fingers crossed Creative can add something as simple as terminating a process in their next driver release
Hi All,
I have X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Champion, running Windows 7 64 bit. I have had the card for almost 3 years and I have never ever had any problems. The question I have is, is anyone running the card with 7.1 speakers?
I have Creative S750 7.1 speakers, and when doing a speaker test everything is fine, I can hear all speakers. Also, when I play music, I can play it in all 7 speakers.
The problem is, I cannot play 7.1 movies on all 7 speakers. If I play 5.1 everything is fine, but If I switch to 7.1 (both in creative console and in Power DVD), I can only hear the front and the middle speakers. The sound that is meant to be played on rear speakers moves to the middle ones, and absolutely nothing comes out in the rear ones. I had older model Creative sound card, which I was running in XP, and was then able to watch moves in 7.1 mode. Must be something with the decoding/drivers, as when I play music all speakers work ?
Please help
