X-Fi Gamer and Win 7 64 problems

[ctguy]

I downloaded alchemy 1.25.10
console 2.61.0.9
media source 5 5.25.02
sb manager 3.21.00

and lots of stuff seems to be different. I was running Vista 32, and everything was great. My main concern is I want to have a program I did before that is not there now. The program allowed you to set up your speakers and tell it the distance of each of the 7.1 sound speakers. Back left is 8 feet away, while back right is 3 feet away. Stuff like that....it made a big difference.

Because I cannot find that program, do I have to download old vista 64 applications? Which one to get the above mentioned part Im looking for. Sorry for being a noob with this, but Ive spent hours looking for this problem, and no one else seems to have it. Auto update does not see any card on my system, and I read a fix about going into safe mode and wiping out everything. When I tried to uninstall the sound card totally, the computer would not run the install disk from Creative Labs for my Gamer. I had to do a system restore in order to get any sound. I would really appreciate help, as Im playing WM2 and the sound would really help if I could hear enemies coming up behind me. Most avi movies that I play using VLC dont seem to run in anything but front speakers, not even 5.1


Thanks for your help

ctguy, welcome to the forums.

What you are referring to is the THX Console. You can get it and the rest of the apps (minus the Media Source Player, have to download that from Creative) from the link in #4 here,

For telling me what I want is called the "THX Console".

In your link, I went to #4, which was the above......It mentions

Audio Console 1.20.57, but not THX Console....Same thing?????????

Also I have 12 gigs of ram....and this thing has a warning about anything over 2?

If I download the whole pack, can I just pick out the audio console and not everything? I guess I can do a system restore point, d/l the pack and if things dont work out, I can go back. Thanks for help!!!!!!

is the one I ended up downloading.....I saw that it had the THX Console that I wanted.
it still has 27 minutes left to d/l, so now I will go check #3 to see if its the same thing. I have two sons, they are grown now, but I know what you mean. I thank you for your help.

 

[ctguy]

Yep....just went back to #3 and saw it was the same. So now all my utorrent and soundcard problems are gone, and I can do a full system Image copy and not worry about my new computer for at least 20 minutes or so.

Thanks so much, and I should not be bugging you anymore for at least the above mentioned time frame.......Until we meet again!!!!!!!!!!

 

[ctguy]

Everything worked out really great, My sound system is setup just the way I like it.

Thank You so much for your help.
