Problems with X-Fi Platinum Remote

neezee · Mar 18, 2006, 08:08 AM

I re-installed the software that came with the X-Fi, and now my remote has absolutly no function. any1 got the same prob??? any suggestions???

I think you must install media source.

I have the same problem. Volume is working, but other functions (EAX, Crystalizer) on the remote aren't.

btw. why CL didn't include SVM button on the remote? That's a real shame.

In my X-FI card i have not installed the I\O drive at all

I find the remote useless as it is and the I\O just taking case space with functions unneeded unless if you are into music instruments or something

?

So why did you buy Platinum and spent additional bucks for I\O case with remote which you aren't using?

I\O is nice. I've got DVD, CD-RW and X-Fi I\O bay which takes all of my 5.25 slots, but I don't need any more, and this bay is useful. It has headphone jack with amp and other mono connectors which can be used to connect a camera for example. Really nice even for not musicans.

thats the prob wen i try and re-install the media source... it freezes at lik 24%...rrrr... like the I/O lets me record audio off the TV...

Have you tried completely uninstalling CL stuff (Driver Cleaner) and then making a fresh install?
