Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatal1ty Pro Series Sound Card ( 70SB046A00000 ) Reviews
I like this card a lot.It's way better then my old one,which came with Abit mother board.There is a lot of software comes with this card.But if you have Nvidea chipset this card has some issues,so you have to check with Creative labs if they fix it.
The sound the x-fi giving me seems to be a bit more accurate than my previous card I figured i'd give this a try since i heard the CMSS-3D the x-fi had was great. My old sound card was not providing accurate sound in Call of Duty 4 with headphones.
The BEST 10+ it works what an awesome sound card it actually works. i've been frustrated for years about my Auzentech 7.1 thx gpu but i actually found a soundcard that WORKS.
Update (05/25/2008) - The "Super Rip" mode was generating garbage when I ripped using the "surround 5.1" option. Well, I don't really care anymore as I will follow Asus now. MP3s randomly play at twice the speed. I will NEVER buy from Creative again, their attitude and expertise with technology is worse than ever. Some friends have told me to "hang in there" with X-Fi and wait for better drivers. Well, for starters, I'm no idiot and know how to rip CDs.
It seems they don't care about their customers at all - they just want their money. To top off this incredibly poor bundle of rubbish, they won't even provide you with MP3 encoding so you can rip your CD collection - you have to buy that separately. If they patch the X-Fi that would be great, but this company's record on product quality and customer service is appauling. It seems most manufacturers can't produce a quality kit any more.
WMAs suddenly won't play and instead hiss or screech. This card is bugged to death with problems. On top of that, most of the email contained advertising for other products. Well, I'm shoving this card in my old PC and I'll be getting an Asus Xonar D2 soon. This is incredulous for such an expensive card. I had to return several products in the last 6 months.
What's going on with tech these days. I'll not be made a sucker again. I sent a support ticket to Creative and they fobbed me off with an article on how to record audio. Does anything work.
Is constantly resetting to default. Device manager is constantly needing to be reassigned. I do not recommend this product.
