Without this, most DirectSound3D games will be reduced to stereo output without any EAX effects. Enables the DirectSound3D game audio to be processed by your Sound Blaster audio device to deliver EAX effects, 3D audio spatialization, sample rate conversion and hardware audio mixing.I don't have the time to wait and hope those issues are resolved.

If you buy a new computer designed to operate on Windows 10 I'm guessing things will be fine, but you roll the dice if you upgrade an older computer withĬomponents (e.g.

Windows 10 definitely does not have all the kinks worked out yet, and the drivers aren't working properly. The process took a fraction of the time it took to upgrade to Windows 10. The one good think I'll say about this experience was that at least Microsoft made it painless to roll back to Windows 7. This morning I woke up and computer said it had no internet, though my internet service in house was fine mind you this pc was not connected via WiFi, it was via Ethernet cable, which means there was also probably a problem with the Ethernet card When the computer went in to idle/sleep mode the login screen locked up a couple of times and I had to reboot What really caused me to not wait a little longer was because other little things were happening on my computer as well with Windows 10 loaded. It was an easy tweak to get things working properly again after rolling back to Windows 7! Windows 10 has a problem with the new Creative X-FI xtremegamer sound card. Surround Sound now works PERFECTLY again. If you've upgraded since then to Nvidia and it works, I'm glad for you. I saw further above that your post indicated you had a Sound Blaster X-FI Xtreme Gamer card, so that's why I used this posting for my question. I'm not sure how many more hours over however many more days I can dedicate this before I give up and roll back to Windows 7, which I'd rather not do. I certainly couldn't get my surround sound speakers working.Īny solution would be greatly appreciated. Actually, one of the proposed solutions was to use Microsoft's high definition audio device driver, and that caused the sound card output to not even show up as an option for sound anymore.and I also referred to a MS support article and that didn't help. I did run the "Troubleshoot sound problems" on the playback menu but that didn't fix anything either. Not sure if someone at MS can reach out to Creative on this, or what the process is, but there does seem to be an issue.

I'm beginning to think there's a compatibility problem with Windows 10 and the driver that Creative created.some kind of a bug. Only, with the volume cranked to the max.īelieve me, I'm not a novice at this, Richard, I've built pcs, installed video cards, sound cards, etc. I've tweaked the settings many different ways, disabling effects, etc.the best I finally found was a setting that let the sound barely audible in the center speaker Previously indicated, I'm driving a logitech 5.1 surround sound system on my gaming computer). I've changed the settings from the default to 5.1, which is my system (as I've done this.I've been to Creative's site and downloaded the correct driver several times (uninstall / reinstall), and I've got the card enabled and set as my default device.
