Creative X-Fi XtremeGamer...so good that...?
ok, i wonder if the Creative X-Fi XtremeGamer series (normal and Fatal1ty series) is so good that you can hear the slightest imperfections?
Like in a sound or a song being played on web radios, soundtracks rips or badly-equalized-recorded songs.
i've been hearing some imperfections like this in Unreal Tournament 3 beta demo once during a game, maybe it's a rare bug, i dunno...

Creative X-Fi XtremeGamer is low profile version of the XtremeMusic so it could be also used in Mini lan Matx Cases. The XtremeMusic was the same card as the X-Fi XtremeGamer fatalty but without the X-Ram and heatsink on the X-Fi chip. The X-Ram only makes about 2 fps difference in games and rare that games use the X-Ram almost none use this feature.Most likely your experiencing Creative driver bugs the X-fi drivers are very buggy but they are getting better with the recent updates. Until this month they did not even work correctly on X64 systems with more then 4GB ram.
i noticed Unreal Tournament 3 beta demo, when you put Hardware OpenAL on, make more "click" noises when sounds plays (the click happen at the start or the end of the sound), so maybe it's only a bug in the OpenAL engine of the game or something.
i played Crysis SP demo to check for this, and i didn't notice any click coming from the sounds, nor in Live For Speed
i have 4.1 speakers i bought like...5-6 years ago (Cambridge Soundworks FPS1800)

i noticed some bugs also, in Second Life and Guild Wars, you can hear one audible "tick" when Winamp is playing in background and you're loading SL, just before the main login screen, it does that sound.
and in Guild Wars, it tend to do that sound when it "loads" new sounds, i don't know about this yet, but i do remember i was near a snow-covered spot when it did this (pre-loading sounds in memory?)
well i know a lot of peoples are complaining about the crappiness of the Creative X-Fi drivers, and YES they should update them soon, since they did it for Windows Vista drivers.
i still need to see if the beta drivers are good enough...
