I'm asuming thats what the X-FI isos here are for

The driver CD would be the same for the full range based on that EMU chip. Hopefully these aren't for the EMU20K2 chip!

thank you will have a look and and no idea about emu20k2

i gave the iso's on here a try and no luck it doesn't detect my sound card with the xp iso and vista iso

What is the PCI ID as seen in device manager for your card?

I have the 2005 X-Fi XP Install CD that I will go ahead and image and upload to vogonsdrivers.
CD ID is:
SBXF-SIS1D-W2-LB

Here it is:

Edit: This CD looks exactly like the one that came with the Fatal1ty FPS according to a listing I found on eBay.

The CD contents listed on the box also matches what is on this CD. Hopefully it works for you.

If I remember correctly, the .inf file had nothing to do with the setup program being able to detect the card you were installing.
The setup program did all of that. Even if the main install for the CD will not work, you may be able to install the missing apps one by one as I don't think they check for specific cards.

A little bit of history about the Vista support for the X-Fi PCI cards.
Apparently back in the day, Creative did not have working Vista drivers for the X-Fi cards.

At one point they released a CD for Vista that you could order for the price of shipping.
I think the ID of this CD was SBXF-SIVIS-W2-LB.

Once it was out, some people made an ISO and stuck it on various file sharing sites as well as torrent.

Try as I might, I have been unable to find any working links for this ISO.

I was able to find what I think may be a new copy of the Vista X-Fi CD and ordered it along with the X-Fi demo CD.
I'll update this thread once I receive it. If it is different than the XP/Vista CD that is already on vogonsdrivers, I will go ahead and make an ISO and upload it.

Edit: 3,400th post for me.. Woohoo!

ok thanks will give them it a try and i am also looking for vista driver disc aswell since the vista iso on here didnt detect my card either

i will look up pci id for my card when get home and edit this response later on

and fingers crossed when you get them and upload, that they work

the 2005 xp drivers disc provided by cyclone3d works in XP and detects my card and installs everything fine

thank you cyclone3d 😀

hopefully the vista drivers will work with my card

the PCI ID, which is it, device instance id, hardware id, compatible id or matching device id

Sweet! Glad to hear it. And people wonder why I don't throw stuff like this out. I knew I had an X-Fi disc. Had to dig through one of my big boxes of CDs to find it.

I think it is the hardware ID, but you could post all of the IDs listed.

The Vista disc was shipped out to me today so it should probably arrive sometime next week.

how did you order the drivers disc and demo disc or were they from ebay

Yep, just as a suspected. The drivers from any of those CDs should technically work. It is just the setup program that is being stupid.

I found the Vista installation CD and Demo DVD on Ebay.

ok, i can test the vista drivers with this card and see if they work like the xp drivers

Just finished uploading the Vista driver CD. It has a different Disc ID and is also newer than the Vista ISO that was already on vogonsdrivers. Also has XP / XP 64 / 2k drivers as well.

I'll do the DEMO DVD soon.

this version for vista doesn't detect my sound card

Hrmmm. That is with running the main setup program, correct?

yeah the main setup and even try the xp version and thats that vista isn't compatible

think i would to get all "bloatware" with it to try and see use the card to full use

I wonder if there was ever a Vista Installer CD that worked with that card.

I'll have to take a look and see if maybe there is some resource/config file that defines what cards the setup program sees.

there must be and looking at the original box i have it dated 2005 on the box

What happens if you just install the drivers and then go into each application folder on the CD and run the setup programs for each application separately?

no idea haven't try that yet

but i noticed the vista disc installs creative auto update where the xp one didn't have that

Yeah.. The Creative autoupdate I am pretty sure no longer works. It was really janky even when it was working.
