I have the Creative X-FI Champion series, this one:

Im getting the squeal of death with it and to be honest its starting to **** me off. It mainly does it when gaming but has happened on occasion whilst playing music. Basically I get a total system crash with a whine/squeal coming from the speakers. I have tried numerous installs, drivers etc and from what I have found on the net is that its something possibly related to nVidia. Well I only have my GTX280, MB is AMD/ATI chipset.

I have this paired with a set of Gigaworks S750 7.1 speakers and I may well be in the market for a new sound card.

From looking at the Asus Xonar HDAV, I need the deluxe version to connect my speakers, which is a bit expensive. Would I be able to use my speakers with the D2X version?

Edit - I guess another question would be, does anyone else have these speakers and what sound card do you have?
 
One other thing also, looking at the back of my sub, the 4 minijacks out are Front, Side, Rear, Center/Sub for the sound card - all have 3 "points". The other end plugged into the Xfi card are the Front, Read/Side, Center/Sub minijacks 2 of them are 4 "points" the 3rd jack is 3 "points".

To use the Xonar D2X would i just have to get 4 minijack leads to connect it all up?
 
nobody have an answer for this?

Either way i might have to try to connect it up to onboard because this Xfi card is taking me to the edge...

Im mainly after "how to connect them" rather than yes they will work... unless i get 4 standard minijack leads.
 
Thanks for the help Marsman.

Just trying it out with my On-board for now - dare I say it. Then Ill get a Xonar when I can.
