[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:

xfivolumenw1.gif

...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.

    • Thank you. Will do. I read in the release notes that editor config might be at play here.
    • Actually, I think even Microsoft doesn't know how to control it
    • OpenAI is making Codex more useful in Chrome and the cloud by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI's Codex now has more than 5 million users, up nearly 4x from earlier this year. To further accelerate Codex's growth among developers, OpenAI today announced that it has agreed to acquire Ona, a company that builds secure cloud execution and orchestration technology for developers. Ona will enable developers to run Codex with persistent and controlled cloud infrastructure for long-running agentic workflows. Right now, most Codex execution happens locally on developers' laptops and PCs, and the agents work continuously for hours. Through Ona, OpenAI aims to make Codex agents keep working for days without being tied to a user’s local machine or an active session. This will be an important capability for enterprises that want to deploy AI agents in production while maintaining control over infrastructure, data, security boundaries, credential scope, logging, and review workflows. Like any acquisition, the deal is still subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. Until the deal closes, OpenAI and Ona will continue to operate as separate companies. After closing, Ona’s team will join the Codex team to improve developer workflows. Alongside the Ona acquisition announcement, OpenAI today introduced a few Codex updates. Developers can now save Codex rate limit resets and use them later instead of losing them when they are not needed immediately. OpenAI is also adding a referral option where users can invite a friend to Codex and get a saved rate limit reset. OpenAI today also announced a developer mode for browser use in Chrome and the Codex in-app browser. With this mode, Codex can use the Chrome DevTools Protocol to debug web apps, inspect pages, and work more directly with browser-based development workflows. Developers can use this when they want Codex to profile JavaScript, inspect console output and network traffic, examine web page states including the DOM and applied styles, and more.
