I purchased a Creative X-FI XTERME GAMER soundcard few days ago and installed in my PC using Windows XP SP 2 OS. My card is absolutely identical with pictures I seen on the internet including Creative's homepage.But Windows is detecting my card as Creative SB X-Fi in divice maneger and by selcting its propeties it shows audio device as Creative X-Fi Audio Processor (WDM). Is it normal ?

In control panel an icon appeared named Audio Console and by selcting it another box appears named Audio control panel whitch shows

selected device : SB X-Fi [EC00]

And by selcting its Device imformation tab it shows

Wave device : SB X-Fi audio [EC00]

MIDI Device : SB X-Fi Synth A [EC00]

Mixer Device : SB X-Fi Mixer [EC00]

I updated card's drivers from creative's costmer support site but nothing changed.

What should I do ?

Or tell me if everything is normal.

x-fi xtreme gamer does belong under x-fi sound card family. I doubt it should be of any problem. Email creative tech support to be sure.
