@StormHornet56 You can get cards that take the PCI slot which is the white slot or the short PCi x1 slot ..If you plan on going connecting to your stereo by an optical cable the best card would be Creative Labs SB X-FI Titanium Fatal1ty Pro which connects by the PCI x1 slot which is the very short slot but it you dont plan to go optical then go with the Creative Labs X-Fi Xtreme Gamer Fatality pro series and that uses the pci slot which is the white slot..
i have onboard sound and it works fine in a few games like valve's. But in gta 4 i can't hear major sounds like ambient, footstep and voices are really slow, it's like i can hear 50% of the game. Should i install new soundcard?
Hardware is superb. drivers are SHIT. i have this card for like a year and a half and im very pleased with the sound quality BUT the driver support aweful
@RA1KU this is my 3rd creative soundcard (audigy I+II and this one) and i always had driver issues. i agree this card is getting old BUT nvidia drivers even support the old 6xxx series. i dont know how big the difference between old and new audio chips is but i dont think that the difference is as significant as it is with grafics card (core architecutres, dx9-11, etc etc). most parts stay the same only the sound chip gets improved so why make new drivers+software for each chip?
@RA1KU The card isnt old its a pci express card i looked all over for a good card money was no object i looked everywhere its still better then the top of the line Asus card so i bought it and it rocks i use it on my logiteh Z-5500 speaker system
@RA1KU It may have came out a few years ago but it have all the same features as new creative sound cards it has the CMSS- 3D.. 24 bit crystalizer..Has 64 mb's of X-Ram & Eax Advanced HD plus its all gold plated so over all theres no difference from this card to there latest...Plus its still worth $200 bucks..
@Weini123 Tell me what stereo do you have this card hooked to...Myself i have the Logitech Z-5500 & this card just works perfect with this sound system..
@DWcriticism my speakers are from teufel (its a german manufacturer and they pretty much destroy everything else on the speaker market in my opinion). im also using a denon 1912 AVR. a few days ago i found out what dolby digital live is and now im using it. (creative had some license problems with dolby cause they didnt pay them money so creative had to disable that function with their new drivers). bought the DDL and DTS pack today and im very pleased with the soundquality.
@Weini123 Yes i have heard of them..There a pretty sweet system..What THX series did you buy..The system 10 sounds pretty wild set up with 2 sub woofers but again the price would be way out of my range...
@DWcriticism my pc area is only about 3m³ so i went for an entry lvl speaker system (concept f) it was about 250 USD including cables. a good friend of mine has the theater 2 set (subwoofer is about 30 kg) in his living room and it´s more than enough for the average user in my opinion. i would not consider buying the theater 10 set unless you have a real home theater room in your house because the power of that thing is just ridiculous.
is my old ct card faulty. just works on old board now its shallow distored on 2 boads i have bought. never have i had to set a latency to get a card to go. i have notice it gets back quicker and more heat. ever driver, xp, 7, my other boards have this throating crap you cant disable and list 25,50,75%. Maybe i should buy another card?
had this card for severals years now and i reinstalled my computer just today
from the start i only had the one that was on the motherboard, and holy shit, i have forgot how crap that normal sound sounds like, i love my soundblaster <3
so the base from songs and games gets deleted, and the card makes new base for the song. HEY!!! ISN'T THAT ILLEGAL?!?!?! I hate it when people like this makes up fancy words to confuse people into buying it. so at 1:23, he says he "doesn't know how these guys do it", yet at 1:25, he explains how it's done. Also, at 1:25, he says the frequencies get "rebuilt, and resampled." this makes no sense at all. There is no such thing as rebuilding and resampling soundwaves. Sorry :/
he is probably on prozac he would make an awesome used car sales man i just cant beleive anything he is selling it would help if hed just stop chewing tobacco,lolk
Its not just hardware EQ it adds more punch and sharpness without it sounding like you used an EQ doesnt make an Mp3 sound as good as CD though. The bad drivers is all rumers been using crative cards since 2000 never had bad problems. Only thing with the X-fi is changing modes sometimes requires a restart.
I only have the x-fi titanium sound card. Not the extreme one or fatl1ty one, just the regular one. Really good card. Works perfect with windows 7 x64.
Got the card a year ago and it worked okay. Recently upgraded to an i7 with an Asus Rampage III MB with Win7 64b and the system simply doesn't recognize the card. Did a lot of troubleshooting and nothing worked.
I have a simple 2.1 bose speaker setup because of space constraints. The speakers work and sound great when hooked up to my ipod. After getting nowhere, I switched to my MB sound and I have sound. I've been using creative for years, and love the front panel input but I give up.
@steveleenow not that this is of much help, but I've got this card, an i7 and Windows 7 64-Bit and it works great, I take it you have tried the latest drivers from the creative website?
@EDG20091 Yeah, I had at the time downloaded all the latest drivers. It worked out better to remove it though as it gave me more room in my setup for a better video capture card :)
this card is driving me crazy, i'm using it with a sennheiser pc 151 under win 7 and xp, it's ridicoulus difficult to setup the microphon in a way that my mates ccan't hear every noises.
Just got one of this card. Its very disappointing. Sounds is really good BUT it has got popping & cracking sounds every no and then. Contacted creative, they tried to help but cant seems to solve my problem. No good. I rather stick to my onboard soundcard.
without a doubt you will hear a difference. My old motherboard had the same soundcard you have, I had to renew it last week and bought one of these for doing some demo tracks (am a pro session musician). The quality is outstanding! Buy one now £30 will get you one off ebay but make sure you get the xtremegamer fatil1ty pro and not just the xtremegamer they are different cards. The cheaper card is about half the size of the back plate
@JakobRobert00 thats a good price, the difference is 2mb on the standard and 64mb on the fatal1ty, also with the half height card you dont get the option to add I/o console and i/o drive box. The last two may not be important. But if you are really into your midi then you want the biggest memory for your soundfonts, the smallest one I use is 8mb, but the one I use for recording is 25Mb. Obviously you cant load 25Mb soundfont onto a card that only has 2mb on it. Hence the recommendation.
I dont know about you guys but creative products is artificial for me.. they make fake solutions ,and they invent their own so called technology where if compared to more professional sound hardware its better cause its natural..maybe the closest thing you can buy is m audio soundcards...that xfi is fine but for an audiophile like me that wont work...
I uninstalled and reinstalled but only the drivers not the extra software, runs better but for some reason my speakers get switched by the card, for example listenin to youtube one speaker on the right will switch with the center channel. Creative makes amazing sound cards with absolutely crap drivers, its a very well known problem. Also since vista there is less benefit to use these since eax is dead. And try using alchemy without a performance hit.
I just installed the XtremeGamer version of this card on my new gaming PC and there's a WORLD OF A DIFFERENCE in sound. I will never use onboard audio again. It truly is HD audio. Your music and games sound so much more clear when you have the Crystalizer enabled.
u guys have to understand... this pcb came out ages ago.... realtek is coming back with that ALC889A.... but for music i would go for x-fi for their crystalisers
I get the impression their trying to sell us something lol. Creative makes amazing products with the absolute worst drivers and support. Eax has died and now the consumer suffers, we have mediocre onboard sound and our games have lost that great sound EAX offered.
I wouldnt go with this card. Go with the lower one that doesnt have X-Ram. So little companies use X-Ram. Its a $50.00 to $60.00 dollar difference for a feature you will never use.

This product may work but he talks alot of shit, it 're-samples the sound'. Sampling is when you record a sound to put in audio, from a singer to a car door shutting, it records or 'samples' it, i'm pretty sure this device can't re-sample.
Im sorry, but I dont beg anyone for anything. He has thousands of dollars of comp. hardware. You dont live in your own house, please stop lying. We all know you are a loser who takes it out on other people over the net. Its written all over you with your messages. Youre angry, its okay, whatever happened to you as a child is over now. If you were sexually abused, or bullied, know that it doesnt have to rule over your adult life. Let me know if you need a good talk, Im here to help you.
Naw, thats okay, I get most of my hardware for free from my brother-in-law. While you spend your hard earned cash on things you didnt like in the end. Then get all mad that you wasted your cash, and still live in your mothers garage at the age of 24. Thats why no woman will ever love you, and you will always be a sad little man inside.
Guys just ignore ScrewYouNapster, he works for the competition, though he is right about crystalizer, that is just a marketing trick. I have this sound card and it is unbelievable in comparison to motherboard's soundcards.
I love my X-Fi on my P45 board, and I think it is a great product. However, their driver support is absolutely atrocious! FYI running vista H.P. 32bit on Gigabyte EP45-UD3P
@Drumboy81 Using advanced algorithm creative has figured out an solution to build up extra frequencies. So on stuff that's very compressed this will come in handy. It can be done.
He never said recreated. He said "REBUILT." Creating audio from nothing is impossible, but taking sound and rebuilding it along a Crystallizer is not impossible.
For all the douche bags who keep giving people thumbs down like a fucking 5 year old , try doing some research . and quit believing every youtube video you see . creative has released right on its forum , that they are having many problems with their sound cards . you can not run a creative sound card with a motherboard that has nvidia .
creative is a shit company who makes crap cards. onboard audio is better than those cards
my new soundcard is creative and it sucks . you can not watch any online video like youtube with out it cracking or popping. stay away from creative their cards have problems
Which card have you got, because it needs sending back. I've had Creative cards for years and never had any problems. Recently purchased this card and it is awesome. Can watch videos, play music and games with beautifully sharp sound.
What I really want to know is what is the sound quality difference between the X-Fi Titanium and the Titanium whuch has an EMI shield. is the EMI shield snake oil?
before i bought this i played vietcong2 for two months, but then when i installed it and played the game i started hearing all kinds of other sounds, freakyass animal type sounds when i was playn the game. and it sounded like it came from behind me and i dont even have surround sound
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
oh and anyone without this is a phony? not that i have this but wat if i had 2 i7 extreme processors 2 water cooled gtx 295s and 32 gigs of DDR3 RAM? Would I still be a phony enthusiast without this card? NOOOOO!!
this guy is priceless.... he's a tech reviewer and says stuff like "somehow they make it sound like ppl coming up behind u... i dunno how they do it.. but somehow, they do it..." LOL :P good stuff.
I own a creative X-Fi card and I can tell you this Crystalizer thing is all bullshit; you can do the same with equalizer. Other than that the card does sound better than integrated one.
I was like "Wow..." when I heard that thing, then I bought a random pair of headphones for about 3 US$, and I could hear the "low freq. like cymbals", and I have a nForce 2 MPU.
I'm not buying this one, I'm buying a different one that has great reviews. Same features though. I have last years "Best" speakers on the market. But I think they should be okay for a card from the same manufacturer. I have a Cambridge Soundworks Creative DTT3500 Digital. I think some card features only work with the Digital Output. Analog isn't as good.
i know my hardware the fatality edition is identical to the standard edition exscept for the xram wich is only utilized by 2 games otherwize this and fatality use the same processing fatalty 140 other 75

If so, then yes - you are the only one who thinks I'm a useless cunt, though many people can easily say that you're even worse than that.

Guys just ignore ScrewYouNapster, he works for the competition, though he is right about crystalizer, that is just a marketing trick. I have this sound card and it is unbelievable in comparison to motherboard's soundcards.

Well, I can't really call myself a retard, but I got this card and the quality is great, IMO.
IDK what's your problem, this card is great!
nastyguard007 2 years ago
Can you write a single comment without swearing? I doubt it.
I bet you don't even have this card, so you can't really judge it.
nastyguard007 2 years ago
Whoa, whoa, WHOA! Relax!
P.S. - I made a spelling error there, I meant "There are MP3 files that have higher quality sound that CD's, believe it or not."
Also, you never said that MP3 was the best, you're the one who said that CD's have the best quality sound, and I just proved you wrong.
I won't even bother replying to your anymore, since you'll just flame me like crazy...

I love how you generalize yourself as every single audio enthusiast on earth.
There are MP3 files have higher quality sound than MP3's, believe it or not.

I love my X-Fi on my P45 board, and I think it is a great product. However, their driver support is absolutely atrocious! FYI running vista H.P. 32bit on Gigabyte EP45-UD3P

1:25 ...you can't recreate removed bits from compressed audio. IT CAN'T BE DONE!!
You can add some highs and lows using DSP processing and modeling but it will never be good imo.
Drumboy81 2 years ago 22
@Drumboy81 Using advanced algorithm creative has figured out an solution to build up extra frequencies. So on stuff that's very compressed this will come in handy. It can be done.

@Drumboy81 Oh. My. God. Were you even listening.
He never said recreated. He said "REBUILT." Creating audio from nothing is impossible, but taking sound and rebuilding it along a Crystallizer is not impossible.

For all the douche bags who keep giving people thumbs down like a fucking 5 year old , try doing some research . and quit believing every youtube video you see . creative has released right on its forum , that they are having many problems with their sound cards . you can not run a creative sound card with a motherboard that has nvidia .
creative is a shit company who makes crap cards. onboard audio is better than those cards

Which card have you got, because it needs sending back. I've had Creative cards for years and never had any problems. Recently purchased this card and it is awesome. Can watch videos, play music and games with beautifully sharp sound.

I've one of those... compared with old Creative cards or Realtek/Intel HD integreated audio these cards are awesome.
However right now are discontinued I recommend to new users look for the X-Fi Titanium.

lineridemidget 2 years ago
that's what i thought until i actually upgraded to X-FI Xtreme Music. The difference was easily audible and i was blown off by the sound quality.
But the cmss-3D is lousy for music, so that's the 1st option i disable cause it sounds too artificial.

this sound card is more expensive than your speakers, i think no, you will not notice a different or too tiny. i think go for more cheap sound card.
but this card is very good, if you have good headset buy it cuz you can use the cmss-3d
markoulas2 2 years ago
I'm not buying this one, I'm buying a different one that has great reviews. Same features though. I have last years "Best" speakers on the market. But I think they should be okay for a card from the same manufacturer. I have a Cambridge Soundworks Creative DTT3500 Digital. I think some card features only work with the Digital Output. Analog isn't as good.
