as above, upgraded from audigy 2.

i havern't anything apart from the drivers installed on my comp, and console.

it is an oem card.

strange, i had the a2 and upgraded to xfi music. dont have that problem in bf2.

try disabling the cmss or eax maybe?

tried all that now, still not working....

did you uninstall the drivers for the audigy 2? is there a creative cleaner for creative files?

it might be summat to do with having file left from the audigy?

Had the same problem. Can't quite remember the order I did it in, but installed I think the newest drivers after installing the original CD supplied drivers. If that doesn't work, I must have installed the most up to date ones.

I certainly had issues which after spending hundred odd quid on the card was a bit annoying.

In case that doesn't work, there are numerous threads on the Creative support website - I just typed in something alon the lines of "BF2 X-Fi" and up it came.

Good luck!

i uninstalled drivers from the cp after removing the card. then i plugged in the x fi and installed. wouldnt work until i changed the pci slot though.

you could try driver cleaner it removes creative stuff aswell.

also did u delete the bf2 folder in my docs, i think that saves some of ** settings like controls, gfx, etc.

do i just delete the whole folder, or a certain part?

B&W · 4 Feb 2006 at 00:26

well copy n paste the whole folder to somewhere else. then delete it all. if ** bf2 messes up put it bak in my docs.

To save your BF2 settings you will need to save the 'profile'.

Go to my documents>BF2>Profile.

w3bbo · 4 Feb 2006 at 08:20

Its worthwhile just deleting the whole folder tho as you will want to enable the XFI and 'ultra' setting in the audio settings, the same should be done after a driver update be it graphics card or sound card. Everytime you change your grafix/sound driver and audio/graphics settings you will see the 'optimising settings' when loading a map the first time since changing. Each time this is done a new profile is created so the old one is no longer required, rather than overwriting the old profile. The next time you load the game BF2 will however search through the 'profiles' to match the hardware/drivers/settings you are using which in turn will slightly lower the map loading time.

So you will also gain a very slight boost in loading time after the first map is loaded as you will only now have one 'profile'.

Aslong as you remember your password and email or nickname you will not lose all your awards etc when deleting the profiles, the only thing you will lose is your settings/controls..
