Asus M3a79-t Deluxe + X-Fi Fatal1ty Champion + Vista 64bits SP1

[nicknitro]

Hi all, this is my first post arround here, just want to congrats all the people that make this usefull tool and all the users that participate.

I got a question about the new ASUS 79FX + 750 mobo, I`m going to buy one but i want to make sure that it can hadle my X-Fi on Vista 64. I used to have a ASUS M3A32-MVP Deluxe/WiFi wich is a great Mobo, but unfortunately the X-fi doesn´t work, it sound very weird. So the point is that i want to be sure Before Buying the Asus M3a79-t Deluxe for my 9850BE that the X-fi card really works on this mobo.

If any body here has this setup or a X-fi card to test with the Asus M3A79-T, please Let me Know, i´ll really appreciate that.

BTW my components are:
AMD Phenom 9850BE
OCZ Reaper OCZ2RPR10664GK 4Gb 1066mhz 5-5-5-18
Creative X-Fi Fatal1ty Champion Edition, With Front Panel Module
Visiontek ATI Radeon 4870 512mb (NO CROSSFIRE)
All other normal Stuff.

Thanks for your help, and will wait for any answer.

I have the M2A32-MVP Deluxe/WiFi.. everything works just great.... Have you upadated the BIOS?

[nicknitro]

Yes, i have updated to last BIOS and nothing, my X-fi Doesn´t work on this motherBoard (M2A32-MVP Deluxe/WiFi). I have tested the sound card on a MSI K9A Platinum and works perfect. I have Tested on other Brands and works.

The reason i want to check the compatibility on Asus M3A79-T is because i always have used Asus Brand for AMD Procesors Since Nforce2 Chipsets and because the New SB750 + 790FX is the convination for Phenom 9850-9950 BE.

Please Let me Know if you or someone else can test this Enviroment (M3A79-T+ Creative X-Fi). Let me know.

Thanks

ASUS really isn't a good player in the AMD world these days. Their BIOS is pretty weak. Nice boards otherwise though. I especially like the PWM section on the M3A78-T (790GX version of your board). It stays nice and cool under high load--much cooler than an MSI K9A2 Plat.

If it helps.

My Auzen XFi (regular PCI) is working in the M3A79-T

Great Xplizit, i hope my X-Fi works, Just to mention. On a user Review on the Egg, i saw a user commenting about this and it said that his X-fi card works. So i´m gonna try with this Mobo and see whats happend.

Thanks for all.

We´ll keep in touch.

just remeber those daniel_K drivers for the x-fi on vista 64

[nicknitro]

OK, perfect i will try those drivers, but where to find it? I google for a long time and just saw many commnets about it, not links to download. Could you please post the link? if the admin of this forum alows it.

If its not possible, well i`ll give it a try with the official drivers and see whats happens

Thanks

the regular drivers work fine with vista 64 and on asus board with a x-fi

is what im using and they work just fine.

Just curious...but what is the point in using those? Creative's last batch from July work flawlessly (finally). Do Daniel K's add any functionality? I understand using them prior to the last Creative release as everything prior was broken.

[SkullCracka]

the K drivers were to get old creative cards to work in vista. they still work even without these drivers just would loose some functions.
