Xfi XtremeGamer Sounds Choppy

[Frankenstyle]

I have my Xfi XtremeGame Fata1ity installed and I downloaded new drivers and installed those. I rebooted and sometimes it sounds good. For about 5 seconds it will sound choppy and slow everything else down. I know the card has a game mode and entertainment mode, but I have tried everything I can think of.

If Im just listening to music with itunes it get hung up sometimes in both game mode and entertainment mode.
When I'm playing games I went to game mode and it still did it, and I tried entertainment and it still did it.

Are there some settings I can alter to get rid of this. I wouldn't even mind taking a minor sound quality hit if I got the thing running smoothly. Any suggestions?

Ahhhhh HA!!!!


Yeah, there's been many troubles with vista on a X-Fi board....


I have the same X-Fi Fat Pro board, and I'm doing pretty good in vista..It's either hit or miss for vista....
