Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio
Ok here my problem....
I installed the Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio Sound Card and installed the updated drivers from the Vista driver from the Creative Website. The CD player is fine, however I am unable to use MSN Voice or Skype, in both of these I can hear perfectly, but callers can't hear me.I can't record using the windows recorder. When I check Recording/Playback devices Speakers are working but the microphone says (Currently Unavailable) and the Line-In says (Currently Unavailable) Does anyone know how to cure this problem ? |

According to the Creative site, these drivers only provide basic functionality and don't support Direct Monitoring and speakers must be configured in Control Panel. It would appear, several features are not yet supported in these drivers. Unfortunately, the "cure" would seem to be to wait for Creative to issue full featured drivers for the card. -- Michael Solomon |

Just a PS: I have been corresponding with Creative support on a similar issue. Their latest missive hinted that more functional drivers, which may allow their bundled software to run, would be available within the next few months. |

Try Control Panel, Ease of Access, Speech recognition options, setup
microphone. You have to have the mike plugged in the mike port and on. Mine didn't record until I set it up. I have the latest creative drivers issued in March. Line in doesn't work until you plug in an outside source like your stereo. The gameport still doesn't have any drivers yet. "Andre Lavictoire" wrote: Ok here my problem....
