Soundblaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio
I have just installed a Soundblaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio card to replace my on
board sound card on my XP SP2 system. I am not clear on how to activate the crystallization and virtual surround sound features on the Sounblaster. Is it done automatically or do I have to do it manually via software? If the latter, where are the settings? Also, how do I access the Entertainment mode I have read about in various places on the web? Thank you very much. |

Start\All Programs\Creative\SB X-fi\Creative Console Launcher. Hover your mouse over the items. hth. bw.. |

The Help function said to use the Mode tab to select the Entertainment mode but there was no Mode tab. Perhaps it is somewhere other than the Audio Console. Thanks again. |

Hoping someone from Creative is reading this post... Unbelievable that users have to write this kind of post just because they don't find their way in the X-Fi menus. The Creative user's interface is a nightmare and searching for some functionalities is everything except user friendly. I had a Creative 5.1 Platinum before, but after upgrading to the X-Fi, I had to spent a lot of time where and in what submenu they had put what I was looking for. And of course, help of the manual was even worse. And just to remain positive, the hardware is of course simply outstanding ! |
