Creative X-fi Treiber 6.0.240.0024
Compatable? Junk? Worth Your Time? READ THIS : )
I would rate myself as a good computer operator. I can operate AutoCAD 2010, Access 2010, Excell 2010, Word 2010 Powerpoint 2010, Notebook 2010, Outlook 2010, install/remove software, upgrade hardware, even manipulate BIOS. Can I write programs and manipilate my Registry? NO!I am running Windows 7 ULTIMATE 32 bit protected by Norton 360 v4.0. I bought this Sound Card all happy that I would be able to listen to my mp3's cryatal clear through X-Fi. Through my research Creative Labs said it was compatable with Windows 7. Microsoft said the SBO460 wasn't compatable with Windows 7. I bought it anyway thinking I Creative Labs knew something Microsoft didn't, boy was I ever wrong. 48re transmission pan torque specs. I disabled the intigraded soundcard my motherboard came with first, then I installed the latest driver for my OS directly from Creative Labs website. After a few days/hours of operation 'I noticed I couldn't get any sound for about 10 - 20 minutes after startup and Windows Media Player would FREEZE only when I played music.' The only way I could shut down Media Player is by using the Windows Task Mannager.After about a week of monitoring the situation first updating the drivers then uninstalling them and reinstalling then after rebooting. I got the same results, 'I couldn't get any sound for about 10 - 20 minutes after startup and Windows media player would FREEZE.'I called Creative Labs Tech Support and they had me uninstall and reinstall everything by folowing the links they provided which were the same as I was doing anyway, 'I couldn't get any sound for about 10 - 20 minutes after startup and Windows media player would FREEZE.'I called Creative Labs back and they asked me to stop updating my system using Windows Update??? Yea, you heard me right. They didn't want me to follow Mocrosofts recomendations..I was about to give up and trash the card when I decided to try Winamp (a different music player). Now I still can't get any sound for about 10 - 20 minutes after startup but, 'WINAMP DOESN'T FREEZE.'Is Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi PCI (SB0460) Sound Card compatable with Windows 7 ULTIMATE 32 bit? NO!!!!Should I have trusted Microsoft about compatability with the Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi PCI (SB0460) Sound Card? YES!!!!Save yourself the hastle if you have Windows 7 Ultimate. Get a different sound card. Creative Labs technicians didn't know any more about how to fix the issue than I did. They only thing they provided me is reassurance that I did everything I could. They said there was nothing wrong wtih the card and wouldn't give me a RMA number to get it fixed. I am stuck with a computer that I can't play music of videos until my sound card wants to work (10 - 20 minutes later).This is not written out of anger. I am trying to help others from making the same mistake I did by trusting Creative Labs website about the SB0460 being compatable with Windows 7. It was misleading information on their part and should be reomved from their site or they should update their driver.Thank You,AlanRead full review
