creative sound blaster x fi surround 5.1 pro not detected

I also tested it on games and the card worked great with correct surround 5.1 without issues.īut my problem is that i have a sound bar that has spdif only and supports dts and dd live decoding. So using the microsoft driver as my only way to make the card usable i have tested the analog imput of a friends z906 speakers and the driver let me change to 5.1 surround from sound settings. These patched drivers dont install at all on my sytem and the reasons that i can think of is either the drivers dont work at my windows 10 version 21h1 or the hardware is different on v3 and the patched drivers are from previous versions of the card like v1 or v2. Maybe v3 has its own drivers compared to v1 or v2 and i am saying that because i found some old drivers that where patched from the community for dts interactive and dd live, but they didnt work in my case. Thus, even though the card works with this driver the apps continue to show the same error message 'There are no supported audio device available' and maybe this is due to the microsoft driver or the drop of flash player support on windows 10. Creative simply dropped the support for these older cards along the way as windows 10 dropped the support for flash player on windows 10 after an update on octomber of 2020 i think.īut if i let windows install the microsoft driver for the sound card from windows update it installs a microsoft driver with version number 1.1202 with date 26-Aug-21. I also found official older drivers that where made for the v3, just to make the card work with no luck at all.ĭrivers install but dont show any version at device manager (like corrupted install), sound card doesnt work and all the apps that install with the creative installer (creative entertainment console, creative audio control panel) show 'There are no supported audio device available', which is not true as i am 100% sure these are the correct drivers for this product. For start I tried all of the official sound card drivers i found on creative website.
