xgman Posted October 18, 2005 Posted October 18, 2005 Can anyone from DFI ask about a bios update for this is possible or in the works? Most other manufacturers have already updated theirs for this issue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rcillig Posted October 20, 2005 Posted October 20, 2005 I got ramdom freezes with my x-fi platnum Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Despotes Posted October 22, 2005 Posted October 22, 2005 A few days after I installed my X-Fi my computer refused to boot. Ultimately I had to do a reformat and it seemed to work for a few weeks until it did the same thing. I tried everything, but again only a reformat solved the problem...for the moment. Now I have a warning in Device Manager about "Other PCI Bridge Device". ??? Where's that BIOS DFI? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Torm+ Posted October 22, 2005 Posted October 22, 2005 I just set up a new system and expected all kinds of trouble with the X-Fi extrememusic - especially since i play BF2. But so far i have not observed any problems. Only "problem" i had was that the CMSS setting was giving me a very hollow sounding sound - so i had to fiddle around with that quite a bit.

zoomee Posted October 22, 2005 Posted October 22, 2005 hey guys, no probs here with me X-Fi Fatal1ty - except the remote doesnt work (which is of very little concern to me seeing the probs others have been having) I aint gunna return this card in case I get a duff one just for the sake of a remote- its awesome to say the least - works perfectly fine on the following games: BF2 CSS Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory Saying that - I couldnt get the mic to work with the front I/O panel but plugging it into the actual soundcard works fine. 3d on headphones! - it actually works PS - I gots all setting upto max video and audio and no probs in BF2 so far - infact its pretty flawless - i get a bit of choppyness in CSS but I'm putting that down to drivers as its fine in all other games...

aldamon Posted October 24, 2005 Posted October 24, 2005 Even with the beta BIOS, I have issues with my NF4X. The X-Fi will not work at all in Slot 3. I have to use Slot 2 and even then I'm getting all of those crazy Unknown PCI Devices listed on a cold boot. Pretty annoying. Creative has offered to update the firmware on my X-Fi, but here are their exact words: Officially, the resolution to these difficulties will be a BIOS update from your motherboard manufacturer. If the latest BIOS does not resolve the difficulties, and you do not wish to wait for an update, we can provide a workaround to the card you currently have. This is only a workaround, and is not an official fix to this problem. Notice the bolded text. That implies to me that this is an nForce4 issue, not an X-Fi issue. Hopefully the problem is fully fixed in future BIOS releases. Luckily, it looks like Socket M2 is coming sooner rather than later. I won't have this NF4X for long.
