I just got an x-fi extreme music (with the optical ports). Just installed the latest drivers and i cant seem to find mic boost. Its just nowhere, not in x-fi options or windows sound options. Anyone know why or where to find it?
also i have 2 outputs im using, 1 - pc speakers and 2- spdif out which connects to a reciever.. for some reason i cant change the bass settings or any of the x-fi settings when my windows default playback device is set on spdif out.
any help is apreciated, thanks
anyone
Double click on the sound icon, go to options, properties, select recording, OK, options, advanced controls.
i got vista which is different. and iv been to all the properties, advanced controls and nothing is there
last bump
In Creative Control Centre is an option on the Recording tab if you click the microphone bar it will pop up with a tiny window Mic db Boost +20, tick it and click Ok
creative control centre? this is what i got:

Sounds like you need to click on that mic bar. The one that shows the volume input level.
you obviously don't have vista. as that mic bar takes you to the mic properties, which has no mic boost option in any of the tabs as shown in the above pictureQuote:

for vista users:
go to control panel (classic view)
sound
recording tab
highlight microphone then click properties button
custom tab
click in "microphone 20+ db boost" box to check it
click ok
tada!
thats the thing, i dont have a custom tab. i think the new x-fi drivers make it dissapear. and i cant use the old drivers for my card
Dunno I'm using X64 Vista and X-Fi Elite PRO with the newest drivers in the Creative section and I can adjust the Mic 20 DB boost even through windows sound options and in the X-Fi Center too, just click through it if you can't find it , it's not that hard to figure it out by yourself ... There istn't that much of an option what to select and where to click ... After I arive home I'll screenshot it for you .. gosh :doh:
must be something to do with my soundcard then, im using the new xtreme music and there is no mic boost :'(, which is a pain in the ass as i use my mic quite alot
look at the ss i posted
im wondering if theres some sort of reg edit you can do or something :/

Well we have different cards from the same producer so maybe that's the issue, I helped as I could,I'm sorry I can't help more
I have a clan mate with the exact same issue. The option to boost mic just isn't there, because there should be a custom tab. Any news from creative? Glad I got the Xonar this time, there drivers aren't perfect by far but they do work well with vista.
Please post back if you find a solution, and good luck.:up:
I have it there too, he simply doesn't ,I simply hate these cheap cards :hehe:
has he got the new extreme music with the optical ports?Quote:
