Win7 Can't Find X-Fi

Posted 04/21/2010 at 3:02pm | by The Maximum PC Staff

Ask the Doctor LogoI have an Intel Core i7-940 coupled with an Asus P6T Deluxe motherboard and 6GB of Super Talent DDR3/1333 memory. My OS is 64-bit Windows 7 Home Premium with Creative’s X-Fi XtremeGamer soundcard. I bought an upgrade version of Windows 7 and ran the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor; it said my audio device was not compatible. I downloaded the new Creative drivers and still got the same message. I have looked all over the Internet for a fix and I see a lot of people having the same problems with X-Fi cards.

William, a few days after you sent your query to the Doctor, Creative posted a Product Identification Module Update on its website that will reportedly fix X-Fi identification issues in Windows 7. You can download it (and the most recent drivers) here.
