I ran into a problem the other day after uninstalling my Xfi Xtrememusic driver and trying to reinstall them. I have windows vista ultimate 32bit and I used driver cleaner to completely remove the driver. When I reinstalled the Xfi driver it installed but the card is being recognized as a multimedia audio controller now and is not functioning. I have tried moving it from the original pci slot into a new one and it still does not work. Right now i have the driver installed but when i reboot the multimedia audio controller pops up and says it needs drivers even thought the creative drivers are installed. Whenever I click on Audio console it says the audio device supported by this application is not detected This application will exit. Any help would be appreciated i am stumped.

Posted this in the wrong place at first Not sure if this is the right place either

Premium sound cards are fickle creatures and do not like being moved from slot to slot. Try the following:

- uninstall the driver
- shut down and remove the card
- reboot and run driver cleaner in safe mode to remove all remnants of the driver
- shut down
- reinstall the card
- boot and install the drivers

Make sure that your BIOS is set to assign IRQs in BIOS (Plug&Pray OS = NO).

Thanks Arlie that worked. What would i do without this bored

sorry it took so long to reply

You're quite welcome.

That said, we prefer to be called a "board" and not a "bored".....
