X-Fi Remote

[BDawg]

Seems like I can't get any of the buttons to work in MPC or iTunes. The volume control works thoughout though.

Is there any way to get it to work with non-Creative apps? My Logitec keyboard's buttons control whatever the active player is.

I'd like to know that too

The remote is weird. If you dive into C:\Program Files\Creative\Sound Blaster X-Fi\Entertainment Center\KeyMap, you can see that there are a bunch of map files that help translate remote key codes into their appropriate key codes for other applications.

I've yet to figure out how the software utilizes this and I believe that support for other applications is limited at best. The software supposedly uses Windows Key Codes to do the interface.

All I know is that there's a plugin for winamp to utilize these remotes since they just send in MIDI data, so the plugin interprets that instead of wasting time with Creative's software.

umm, for audigy 2 zs i can use a little freeware called intelliremote (www.melloware.com) but i don't know will it work with x-fi. With this program, my audigy2 remote (model RM-1500) can be used and configured just like media button (play, pause, stop, next,etc) on logitech keyboard. BTW, you'll also need microsoft intellitype pro software from microsoft site (no, u don't need to have the microsoft keyboard, it'll work just fine with any keyboard, but i don't know if it'll cause problem with your logitech keyboard software) for this program to work.

cheers.
