Any suggestions will be helpful. I have installed and re-installed the
lastest driver and applications for my X-Fi sound card. I have noticed a random popping sound and no sound at all. Is their a command-line parameter or some way edit a file(s) to correct this?

I have the X-Fi XtremeMusic and I'm having similar problems. Not just the popping, but at times ear-grinding static. It comes and goes, but I can't help but think this is a driver issue. I, too, would love some input on this. -- Papabear27

All,
It isn't Vista's fault that Creative haven't written drivers for their sound cards but there are hacked drivers for at least some of the Creative cards that they say work. I don't know whether the following link has the drivers for your particular cards, but it's at least an example of what is becoming available. Look around, using google for example, and you may find drivers for your cards. The Creative website also has a user forum that you can check out: http://www.ngohq.com/home.php?page=F...&dwn_cat_id=20 Others may have additional ideas. -- freddy "Dano_y2k2" wrote: Any suggestions will be helpful.

I have drivers, I'm just trying to conclude for certain that the problem I'm having is driver related, and not a physical problem with the hardware. -- Papabear27

That information is intended for anyone looking for X-Fi Vista specific drivers. -- freddy "Papabear27" wrote: I have drivers, I'm just trying to conclude for certain that the problem I'm having is driver related, and not a physical problem with the hardware. -- Papabear27

All,
For the information of all those perusing these posts, it's important to know that there is a difference in having "drivers" and in having the "proper drivers." Most of the causes of sound cards not properly working is because of drivers. Either the driver is incompatible or missing from the system. In these cases, checking that you have the latest drivers can solve any issue you may have. This comment is intended for those who may not be fully aware of this fact, and is not intended as a slam at anyone. I neglected to make this point in my prior comments. -- freddy "freddy" wrote: All, That information is intended for anyone looking for X-Fi Vista specific drivers. -- freddy "Papabear27" wrote: I have drivers, I'm just trying to conclude for certain that the problem I'm having is driver related, and not a physical problem with the hardware. -- Papabear27

I noticed some months ago that the X-FI drive install sets the Environment to Games as the default. Have you tried switching this to Entertainment using the Creative Audio Console?
