[QUOTE="KavanM, post: 181376, member: 17365"] I'm having the same problem a lot of you guys were having. I just got a new PC and wanted to install my old X-Fi Xtreme Audio card into the new rig. At first the card didn't show up in Device Manager (just said HD Audio Device or something like that) and I got the same error message when trying to install the Creative drivers for the card for Windows 8. So I had Windows manually install the drivers (right-clicked in Device Manager> selected install/update drivers> let Windows search for best driver). After doing that the card was correctly recognized and listed in Device Manager as "Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio" and so I thought my problem was solved. However, when I tried to install the updated Windows 8 driver from Creative's site I still get the same "Setup is unable to detect a supported product on your system..." nonsense. I can get sound out of the card, but it's only stereo. How do I get the updated drivers and creative software installed so I can get it playing in 5.1? My Z-5500s are going to waste :( For what it's worth, I extracted the zipped driver file and when I opend the "Drivers" folder, the only other folder listed there is Vista. Should I be seeing something for Windows 7/8? [/QUOTE]
