8.1 Not detecting XFi titanium HD

[JHONO]

As the title says, just built a new rig (not one on spec) installed 8.1 went to install drivers - Hardware not detected.

Tried everything, windows updates, tried another pci slot in my X79 Deluxe, no clue whatsoever. Creative have drivers for the Titanium HD for windows 8.1but as previously said, it wouldn't detect the hardware during setup, see below:





Any idea whats happening here guys, its very frustrating, felt like ive totally hit a wall.

Totally agree you, creative have gone downhill the past few years, will try this fix also.

By the way what other sound cards (bar creative) would be able to drive my 360's, im thinking of ASUS?

Are these any good?

Thanks

EDIT: Tried those drivers, no avail, still wont detect the sound card, looks like il have to buy a new one. I certainly wont be going for creative this time round, there terrible.
