X-Fi Audio Processor (WDM) vs. Audio card

Hi,

 

I was using my Dell Support Center software, and it says that my sound device is a Creative X-Fi Audio Processor. Does that mean it is an actual discreet card? Or do I have to look online for an official system certified audio card upgrade from Dell that won't void my warranty regarding the audio component of my system?

 

Thanks!

Eric

I'm almost certain I don't have an X-Fi ExtremeGamer card in my XPS 720. Will those drivers still work with my system even if that isn't the card I have?

 

Thx.

Hi,

 

I have an XPS 720 system with XP MCE on it. I purchased it in September of 2007 with the Q6600 processor, 2GB of RAM and I know (or at least I thought) I'd selected the option to purchase the X-Fi (of some sort) audio card for it.

According to the FAQ, The XPS 720 has an X-FI Extrememusic card. I don't believe the extremegamer driver will work.

Hi,

 

Don't know if I bought mine with Extrememusic or not, but the Extremegamer driver did indeed install without a hitch and it said in the FAQ that it could be used with all X-Fi cards except the X-Fi Audiopro (or something like that). Sadly, it did nothing to resolve the known bug between Creative drivers and Vegas 2 for PC.
