Hi Guys,
I've recently bought a second hand Creative X-Fi XtremeMusic card from Ebay.
I'm not been able to install it on my computer. On running the installation of the drivers that came with the CD, the computer hangs during installation.
Then I've downloaded the updated drivers from creative website, though the installation completed this time, only sometimes i was able to hear to hear the sound, most of the times there was no sound or sound is produced with crackling.
Also during the first boot after installation, there was a BSOD...but after restarting the system again i was able to boot up XP..
I've contacted the seller, he says the card was working on his system...
So what do you guys think, is the card defective or there is problem with my system ??
I've also updated my motherboard drivers to latest...but it didn't work..
My System is:
AMD Athlon XP 2100+
MSI VIA KM400 Mobo
1 GB Ram
Nvidia geforce 6600gt
400W PSU
Windows XP Proffesional SP2
