Asus SupremeFX X-FI

[physicsT]

solution

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

I'm having the same problem

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

Well, turns out it doesn't support the chip on my Rampage II Gene.
Maybe a mix of both the new and old packages could produce some positive results, but I don't have time to try it out

After following physicsT's instructions, I was able to install and control my SoundBlaster without having problems with the cd key. However, I get the same error. Does this mean the chip on my Crosshair III is not supported? How can i make this work?

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

 

[Mbrian09]

No update yet...

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

was initially having some problems and could not make it work, but then i was using the drivers and utils from the support cd. so i downloaded the driver and util from the asus site and it worked like a charm =p

ok,

i have an issuse with this mobo and sound as well, thought id start a new thread as it was diffrent. tho no one bothered replying.
windows 7 is not seeing my audio card and when i place the cd rom in, i don't get options for the sound card drivers. still evan better is when i go to asus and download there drivers driect i get an issuse with them installing and i get an error that they are not for the os: WNT_6.IP_64_MCE
ps they are from the win7 64 list of drivers

any suggestion please.

ps. i had no trouble using this on the evaluation edition of windows 7

1) You tried to disable your onboard soundcard (if available) in BIOS?
2) Try to deplug your soundcard, blow into the slots to get the dust out of it. And finnaley plug it back again.
3) Still not working? Try another PCI port? Make sure its good connected.
4) Try the driver I added the link at the bottom of this message.
5) The latest option is to reinstall Windows... (deinstall all current drivers of this sound-card)
6) Soundcard is broken, however that will be very unlikely.

"There are no supported audio device available. You need to close the application. Click OK to close the application now."

I've got a Sound Blaster X-Fi 5.1 Surround and that bug is driving me nuts; tried EVERY SINGLE solution provided here but alas, to no avail!

Ideas?

Bump?

Nevermind, installing Pax Drivers did the trick... problem solved ^^

Do you have a set of 5.1 speakers connected?
If Im not mistaken, the options for 2,4,5,and 7.1 only appear if you do.
This may be why its not allowing it to be changed.

If this is the ASUS X-Fi that came with the board, it may also be slightly different. Im not sure, although it should be the same.

Oh, and English please.

I have a redundant system is Logitech Z-5500 DIGITAL, I hooked it through the optics Spdf into your sound card ...
Tested on the redundant system Win xn - all without a problem as you and writing appears different connection, up to 7.1 ....
And then only 2/2.1 and all, and even choose not ... But you saw the picture ....
Why not see the connection 5.1?
