[Creative Xfi Software]Help -(


Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

The top says it all. I have lost the cd driver for my Creative Xfi Xtreme music. I downloaded the latest driver, Creative MediaSource, and MediaSource go. However, I Couldn't find where to download the mode changer (Like Entertainment, Games ..), and the THX console is no where to be found ;(.

These things used to be installed from the CD. Is there any way to get them from Creative website or anywhere else? Because I simply cannot find them, and I'm soo eager to change some settings for my sound system. Heck, I can't even give my subwoofer a bass boost ;(.

Thanks.

I won't be so sure about it. Creative driver updates usualy like to only UPDATE what you installed first from the CD, so... Let's hope full drivers do include the stuff on CD, but with Creative, things can get nasty.

I don't mind making a ISO from the CD and upload it somewhere, but got the for X-Fi Fatal1ty and I'm not sure the CD's are interchangeable. And he probably need mainly THIS application:

...witch is the first (or the first are the drivers itself and this is the last?) option when cusom - installing the drivers...

So, are this (X-Fi\Console Launcher\ConsoLC.exe) Creative console included in the drivers on Creative site? Or perhaps there is separate package, finally?

Can anyone confirm what Trodas said about the downloads only being updates? may seem a silly question but since going to Vista my install CD is useless so i have been using the X-fi drivers for vista from the creative driver site, they have been working well for me but I've been having some volume issues, where it drops and increases randomly.

might be worth trying to get hold of the Vista CD from somewhere.

Sorry for hijacking/ going off at a tangent. As you were chaps!!!! :)

guys sorry to bring up this old thread

how do i get the fancy version of the audio console with the bass redirection and 10 band eq and all that... all i have is a really simple version which lets me change the mode, the speaker selection, etc, and i can only adjust the 'bass' and 'treble' by double clicking the speaker icon in the taskbar...

i have xp x64, will the vista console launcher app work?

This is what I do. Download the installation cd from link above and unselect the drivers (Which I believe are at the top) but install the other software, This installs the graphic mixer apps and keeps te x64 driver installed.

I only joined this forum to say this as it took me 2 years to find a solution to this and don't want u having to do the same :D

I have tried to use the above link to get THX setup console to work, but the site won't download the package though it says it is on the site. Does anyone else have access to this package and a way to help a poor X-Fi user who wants to get bass management to work in Entertainment mode? The drivers from the original CD will not work and the newer drivers don't include the THX setup console that is needed to enable bass managment.

Thanks for your help!

First of all, what operating system are you using? If it is Windows Vista 64-bit, Windows Vista 32-bit, Windows XP Professional x64 Edition, Windows XP Service Pack 2, Windows Media Center Edition (MCE) 2005., download and install this file: CSL_PCAPP_LB_2_61_09.exe.

It can be downloaded from the following site: http://support.creative.com/Downloads/searchdownloads.aspx

When you get to the website, enter "CSL_PCAPP_LB_2_61_09.exe" in the search box. Then click on "Show details".

This should solve your problem.

    • I'm team Rossmann all the way. I have the exact same NVME, altough not in an array like him.
    • It had gone weeks ago. Although thinking about it I'm on the beta.
    • They thought value of their goods would forever only drop like it used to and didn't account for sudden increase in price because of all the Ai hype. Tough luck Samsung, don't try to weasel this one out. Also American customer protection laws are a**. In Europe, you need to be compensated for a functioning product of same or better characteristics (not same price point as when it was originally bought!) if it can't be repaired and when you receive a replacement product your warranty starts from scratch because you received a different item than you previously had and old warranty thus cannot apply to it anymore. If your actual item was successfully repaired, warranty gets extended for the period the item was in service. If item is repaired to a significant extent, warranty also starts over from scratch because major part of it was replaced. Americans need to fight to get this kind of consumer protections because they are constantly getting screwed over.
    • Microsoft releases new Windows 11 Media Creation Tool with the latest updates by Taras Buria Patch Tuesday updates arrive every month, bringing users new features and security updates. To make sure customers have access to the most recent images, Microsoft also releases updates to the Media Creation Tool app, its official utility for Windows 11 installation. Today, the company pushed new ISOs to Media Creation Tool, allowing you to create images with the June 2026 Patch Tuesday updates. With the latest update, the Media Creation Tool now downloads KB5094126. It is Windows 11 version 25H2, build 26200.8655, which is also available via Windows Update. Note that the app itself remains on the previous version, which you can check in Properties > Details. The only change is that it now downloads a more recent Windows 11 build, so the only way to check is to download an ISO. The June 2026 Patch Tuesday update is a special release for Windows 11, as it brings a new performance profile to make the operating system more responsive and snappier when rendering various user interface surfaces, including the Start menu, quick settings, and more. It does so by spiking processor speeds for a brief moment, resulting in higher loads for a second or two. The so-called “Low latency profile” is rolling out gradually, but you can force-enable it with the ViVeTool app. Other changes include webcam improvements, Task Manager updates, shared audio support, and more. You can download the Media Creation Tool app from the official Microsoft website using this link. Besides MCT, Microsoft lets you download Windows 11 ISO as a file directly from the official Windows 11 website. However, you will need a third-party app to write it to your USB drive. Check out this guide if you want to know how to do that.
