    can you post screen shots of the audio console?

    Edit: Its supposed to look like this....

    Perhaps they call it 'entertainment mode'.

    If you don't have that, its seems something didnt install properly... or is not found in the start menu under XFI - but maybe 'Creative Labs' or something like 'Sound Blaster'.


    Also - the product description for the card I link to... doesnt show an 'optical' input, only optical output - and the 'digital input is shared with line in too.

    Hi,
    my audio console is on bottom right:

    There is no xfi/creative in start menu. The driver package only install driver and audio console. I guess its normal that I dont have the thing from your picture. I would be nice if someone with the same card under xp could confirm.

    there are 2 toslink jacks on the card itself right? & that driver vers is way out of date. could be you problem right there.
    maddog, either communication is wrong or that card u showed is not what he has cause there is definetly no optical on it. part of the problem could be naming, i noticed on his last pic that there were french titles in it. u from france or canada nuja?
    the reason t oknow is that sometimes they will have different naming nomeclature in different countries. wich means different feature sets. dont know if that is what is going on since obviously you have toslink as u said you plugged the optical cable into back of card.

    Yes, Cl offers more than 1 'XFI Extreme Audio' - the one I found was a half height card - so it wasnt the same card.
    I dunno - seems nuja is out of luck... maybe its because its an OEM??
