Windows 10: No audio: Sound Blaster PCI Express X-Fi Titanium Build 14393.447?

My Creative Sound Blaster PCI Express X-Fi Titanium worked just fine with Win 10 (64-bit) prior to the so-called "Anniversary Update" Any solutions would be appreciated.

Once that's upgraded set the Volume Panel (Default Location: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Creative\Sound Blaster X-Fi\Volume Panel\VolPanlu.exe") to run in Windows 7 compatibility mode and reboot.

It's all working for me now.

 

Creative SB X-Fi Titanium Not Working Right (Windows 10)

The following now tested and working. Please note the difference between the Titanium and Titanium HD cards

• Creative PCI Express X-Fi Titanium & OEM card
• Creative Console Launcher (Beta) 2.61.49
• Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Series Software Pack for Windows 10
• Dolby Digital Live Pack for Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Series

But Dolby Digital Live Pack for Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Series fails with an error.

Installing the software and driver first before upgrading from Windows 8.1 to 10 worked for me and the settings held on reboot.

 

"Refresh" the Soundblaster. Go to the Device Manager, uninstall the SoundBlaster, but DO NOT uninstall the drivers. Restart the PC and when Windows starts it will detect and reinstall it. This fixes a lot of problems and hopefully will take care of yours.

 

Thanks, I'll give it a try!

 

One other thought. If the integrated (on the motherboard) audio got activated by the update, that may be set as the Default audio playback device rather than the SoundBlaster. As you are using a separate sound card, best option is to disable the integrated audio in the BIOS to avoid any potential conflicts.

 

Noted. Thanks! (I am away from the PC concerned at present, so will only get around to "the fix" early in the new week),

 

Sometimes Windows updates overwrites .dll files which your SoundBlaster card may use which may of unlinked it to the Soundcard stopping it from working, so make sure you have the latest SoundBlaster drivers & uninstall what you have then re-install the latest Soundblaster drivers.
