Creative has released a Link Removed driver specifically designed to provide support for the X-Fi Titanium series under Windows 7 Beta.

If you own a SoundBlaster Audigy SE or another version of the basic Audigy model then used Windows Update to attain your driver. Creatives vista driver will cause blue-screens when used in conjunction with 7.

I'll update this thread as and when new drivers are released..

Driver updates for Realtek can also be found here: Link Removed

The only reason this thread was started was because the other thread was actually in the vista forum (which has now been included with this one)

I tried this on my P5PE-VM Asus motherboard. At the end of installation it says "driver not found, restart your computer and try again"! Is there anything else I have to do?

Drew,

Thanks for the reply

Yes it is old, i paid $15.99 for it so i can't complain. I did find a W7 x86 beta driver that i had to install in Vista SP1 compatiblity mode, Vista SP2 and no compatibility crashed W7 with BSOD's.

Anyone else needing this driver or CMedia drivers for W7 x86 can find their beta drivers here Link Removed

Latest Beta drivers but still have issues

Thanks for posting the latest drivers (the .98 version) but I am still having some issues with my SB X-Fi 5.1 USB card on Win 7 64 bit OS & would love some suggestions.

Its sounds like it is not sending the correct signals to the sub & the center speaker when testing in Win 7. Essentially the center speaker is only getting a VERY faint signal & the sub sounds......a bit quiet. Very much out of balance even when I have turned the center speakers & Sub up considerably.

When I test using the Creative Console I get no sound to the center speaker - it is fed to the sub instead & the sub is very quiet indeed.

All help greatly appreciated.

Hi Jarboy808,
I checked out your motherboard and it does have a few bios updates, are you using the latest version?

Sound drivers Creative and others

you can find most of the Creative drivers that work for win7 and vista here and you can ever request other drivers if you can't find them there. Hope it helps you.

Loonwin7 - Thanks for the link but it does not look like it will support my hardware.

Kemical - I will in the near future update my BIOS as I am just using whatever it came out of the box with. Not sure it will effect the sound given its an external USB sound card though right? Certainly will try!

Hey!
I have an external card, Tascam Fireone installed and working (allmost). I want to use this sound card for all programs, like Winamp, Windows media player, games etc etc.

Problem is that I get no sound from card except from when I use FL studio 9 and the ASIO4ALL V2. Driver seems to be properly installed.

This is the warning I get when I try to use Windows media player
Windows Media Player cannot play the file because there is a problem with your sound device. There might not be a sound device installed on your computer, it might be in use by another program, or it might not be functioning properly.

Note that this sound card did not work with Vista 64 bit (it didnt want to install), but with Windows 7 (32-bit) it installed fine and I find it in Control panel/hardware and sound. I just dont get any sound other when using ASIO4ALL V2.

Tascam Fireone is upgraded with the latest 1.10 driver.

Thanks for help!

Greetings H.S.

@kalleklovn its what you'd expect from something that isn't designed as an everyday soundcard what you really need is something more like an X-Fi
