My issue im having started yestarday...
my sound just stops working randomly.
my specs are
i7 960 not O/C
big bang xpower mobo - bios updated
250 gts bfg graphics card
sound blaster xfi titanium pci-e 1x
6gb corsair dominator - XMP enabled.
500gb WD hdd
haf 932 full tower
win 7 ultimate
iv done all these steps to replicate my problem
play a video game
watch a movie
listen to music
run dolphin emulator
and leave the computer alone for a few hours.
no matter what i do it still stops randomly (dolphin is the only program that makes it quit faster, after 35 minutes or so.) everything else is about an hour.
restarting the computer temporarily fixes it and uninstalling the drivers in device manager temporarily fixes it. so its got to be a driver issue.
what iv done to try and fix the issue is uninstall all creative software and drivers, restart my comp, and make sure no onboard audio is enabled (big bang is weird cause it has a chip on the mobo but comes with a pci-e 1x card that works with the chip for pretty decent audio.) and reinstalled all audio drivers and software manually (disconnected from the internet) then reset all audio setting to default. still didnt work. iv checked all my sound setting, used creative diagnostics on it, and checked the drivers. There is no problem detected by windows 7 or device manager or the diag. iv even run MRI on my rig ( i work at geek squad so i can use a copy on my own computer). i checked my speakers with my ipod and they work. even my headphone jack in the front of my comp doesnt work when the sound goes out. i also let the win update auto install the driver and that didnt work. i even reseated the card and then reseated my cpu and neither worked.
MRI does a full HW diag on hdd/ram/cpu/mobo. it also does 7 different up to date virus scans.
everything passed and i only had 2 generic Trojans. my mobo also has an on board error code lights and panel and it doesnt show anything.
iv been using this card for the better of six months now and never had a problem.. i just built a new rig and its been in the new one for 2 1/2 months now.
I haven't done any changes/installed anything for the last 4 days.
i checked reliability history and it doesn't show anything.
the driver i am using is
Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Driver 2.17.0008
i always find solutions to my problems in this amazing forum but this is my first time having to ask for help.
its actually quite amazing. i found a question Google didn't know the answer to!
hopefully you guys/gals will!
