Creative Labs Sb1240 Drivers

[Roxine Denison]

German]A few days ago Creative released an updated driver package 'Sound Blaster X-Fi Series Software Pack' for Windows 10 for download. The driver package fixes some bugs and also supports Windows 10 V1903.

The driver fixes the error that the audio output remains mute or the error "Unable to find audio device" is reported in Windows 10 Version 1803 and higher. The driver requires the following for installation:

I'm afraid you're almost out of luck Brent as the XFI HomeTheater HD card is from Auzentech, not Creative. that card is an OEM card. you may want to look at this old Reddit thread to see if something there works:

I have the auzentech xfi home theatre hd and after much frustration i finally figured it out. use revo uninstaller (google for an older free version) to uninstall all creative stuff and delete things from the registry. then restart your computer. , Then download the drivers from here

Next install the xfi home theatre hd from zip file from the link after extracting ofcourse, use a free program called 7zip.

then restart your computer

then download files from Daniel k's blog for

this includes the software files that you need, DO NOT install the drivers from this package.

choose custom installation and install only the software you want, I installed, creative console launcher, auto miode switcher etc, make sure you uncheck the drivers. as you do not want this to update what you already have.

once thats done, restart you pc, and click on creative console launcher, and everything just works!!!!

i installed it on the latest windows build as of June 23rd 2020. I had it working before but sofware updates including dolby atmos software in dinwows etc broke it a year ago, I didnt bother reinstalling it until now.

Good luck!!!

I have connected the sound card to my pc through the usb connection, and installed the latest drivers from Creative's website. I have connected my PS3 to the optical input on the back of the sound card, and ensured that the ps3 is outputting audio through the optical connector (I have tested this through another device, and am sure it works fine).

If it is relevant, my intended playback device is a set of Bose Companion 5 usb speakers, although setting the playback device to the creative x-fi (hence bypassing the Bose speakers) didn't resolve the issue either.

I've also bought a Sound Blaster X-Fi HD USB soundcard and experienced the same problem with the 'SPDIF optical in'. Here is my sollution: As You don't have input-selector switch on the device, you have to switch to the 'optical in' input trough software way. You have to install Sound Blaster "Entertainment Console" tool (CD provided). In the 'Mixer' menu you will be able to switch on the 'optical in' input (because the default factory setting for the 'optical in' is unfortunately: 'off') When you enable it you will be able to use any optical device on the sound card's SPDIF input.I hope I could help :)
