The sound from XBox360 is encoded in DD signal and you need to have a decoding feature to get the sound. This card doesn't have the decoding feature, it only has a encoding feature. You need to use a receiver to decode the DD signal. X-Fi has a decoding feature but it doesn't work as well as a receiver. You can also try the DDTS-100, a small decoding box from Creative.Is anyone using this card w/ an XBOX 360?
I just got the card today and can't seem to get sound from the 360. It's plugged into the card via optical w/ the lil clear adapter thing. I've tried every possible setting I can think of.
I got sound from the 360 w/ the X-Fi before this though. X-fi got lots of crackling, so I wanted to get rid of it.
Sondigo is a Canadian-based manufacturer of quality sound cards. Auzentech, Inc has made the Sondigo Inferno available to its customers through a distribution agreement with Sondigo.

If you are looking for the ultimate in analog audio, the first choice is the Auzentech X-Meridian. But if you just want superior analog audio on a budget, or your primary use will be for digital output., then the Inferno is an excellent choice for playing music, movies, and games on your PC.
I figured out my problem. I fumbled around a little more in the settings. The "Monitor" box has to be checked in the SPDIF IN properties. The XBOX360 audio has to be set to Dolby Stereo.
It seems that the X-Meridian doesn't want to accept any audio that is higher than your output is capable of. So if you have 2 speaks only or a heaphone like me, you can only set your XBOX360 to Dolby Stereo. Setting it to Dolby 5.1 or Dolby Pro WMA would only give you noise.
The X-Fi card didn't have this problem.
Oh, well. No more crackling.

seriously... I'm so fucking dissatisfied with this card. I want my money back
The card itself is great, it's just driver support is blowing atm. I'm back on Windows XP64 so..until they get their asses moving and get those drivers out, Im stuck on this.
Did the sound only lag when using digital or it also lags with analogue. I don't use VLC but MP classic, I'll notice some lagging if I use digital encoding and I didn't setup my player correctly. I'll get a lag if the movie has an AC3 track and I setup my player to decode it first and the card will then encode the sound back to DD/DTS so I just need to set my player to pass the AC3 through S/PDIF. In this case, my receiver will detect a DD signal even if I use DTS encoding in the control panel.I had some issues with that btw running with VLC the sound lagged quite a bit...
I am definiatly going to have to switch the opamps... The X-meridian gives so much reverb to my headphones it ain´t funny. Hope other Opamps can help with that. Playing music with my Proline 750 is like playing music in a tunnel or sewer and all voices are behind a curtain or something. Very bad synergy... The bass seems overdone on the X-meridian as well but I suspect it´s the reverb issue makes it bloaty....
Preferr the Xfis cold technical sound seem less coloured and not much of reverb at all. Clearer sound and not overly warm.
Also I get crackles with both soundcards... Is it a bad idea running two soundcards beside eachother? I have figured out it´s not an issue with my amp, headphone or soundcards it´s something with my computer causing interference or something... I get it at times when playing CD:s I know don´t have any distortion at all.
