Hi,
I have recently put together a new system comprising a cheap OEM Creative X-Fi Xtreme Audio PCI soundcard. This 'upgrades' from the Audigy 1 in the old system. The drivers were obtained from Creative's webby under "Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio Pack 1.04.0079 (62.57 MB) 2-Apr-08"
I tend to need to adjust the bass and treble settings with the headphones and separate soundsystem that are connected to the soundcard - up with the headphones, down when using the soundsystem.
Simply, I am finding that the Bass and Treble Tone Controls are greyed out with the X-Fi. Given the generation gap between the two cards I didn't expect this decrease in "functionality".
Is this as expected, and given that I want to control the bass and treble have I scrimped too much with the OEM X-Fi? The old Audigy even has better gold plated connectors compared to the childish colourful plastic on the X-Fi
How do I get my options back?
