jbm Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 My sound card works in both the 32bit and 64bit versions of xp and in the32biy\t version of win 7 RC. But in win7 64bit when I play a sound file.It plays for a few seconds then becomes distorted and then the soundstops. I'm using the latest drivers from creative as of 7/22/2009.I found this solution in the creative labs forums which worked for me.Using msconfig limit memory to 4095MB.when I go back to 4096 \MB the problem returns
CoffeeFiend Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 Sounds like more bad drivers from Creative (that's half the reason I don't buy anything from them anymore).
Chappy333 Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 I would agree that this is a driver issue, especially since you say that by changing the amount of memory by 1MB, it will work.That sure sounds like the driver is having issues with memory mgmt.
jbm Posted August 27, 2009 Author Posted August 27, 2009 I got tired of looking for a solution amd I'm using the onboard sound.

jbm Posted August 28, 2009 Author Posted August 28, 2009 Thanks for all the help, but I'm using an x-fi sound card.Sorry I blew it and didn't sayso in my first post.
ripken204 Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 daniel_k makes an x-fi pack as well, i just can't seem to find it at the moment.it must be somewhere on that creative forum.
jbm Posted August 29, 2009 Author Posted August 29, 2009 I googled daniel_k and x-fi and found a link on a blog last nightJust finished reinstalling the sound card and driversand its working now.Thanks again
