1. Introduction
1) Introducing the product
Thank you for purchasing the Auzen X-Fi™ Prelude 7.1, featuring the Creative latest audio
revolution, SoundBlaster® X-Fi™ chipset.
① Using the latest X-Fi™ audio processor from Creative, Auzen X-Fi™ Prelude 7.1 helps
conserve system resources. It is built around the blazing fast X-Fi™ audio processor with more
than 51 million transistors and performing 10,000 MIPS (Million Instructions per Second). This
reduces CPU load when playing multimedia files and games, and can improve VGA performance
and the video frame rate of games.
②The Operational Amplifiers ("OPAMP") produce excellent S/N (Signal-to-Noise ratio) and high-
quality sound. LM4562— a high-quality audio opamp of National Semiconductor—is used for front
audio output. OPA2134 of Texas Instruments is used for other outputs.
③The analog input and output of Auzen X-Fi™ Prelude 7.1 provide excellent sound quality. DAC-
AKM AK4396VF is a high-quality DAC chip used for hi-fi audio and supports 120dB of S/N and
dynamic range. The ADC-AKM 5394AVS in Auzen X-Fi™ Prelude 7.1 has higher specifications
than even professional audio interfaces.
④ Auzen X-Fi™ Prelude 7.1 has digital output combo-ports (optical/coaxial) for connecting
various type of digital equipment. You can use any type of digital equipment you like (supporting
24-bit/96 KHz).
.
⑤ Continuous driver support from Creative will keep the Auzen X-Fi™ Prelude 7.1 current with
your computer Operating System (WINDOWS XP, WINDOWS VISTA 32/64-bit).
⑥ Sound positioning during gameplay is available through the latest Creative's EAX technology.
The first sound card other than Creative's own products to support the latest EAX technology,
Auzen X-Fi™ Prelude 7.1 provides advanced sound in games with EAX ADVANCED HD 5.0 and
hardware acceleration. EAX 2.0 compatibility has appeared in third-party soundcards as well as
4
earlier Auzentech soundcards, but that technology—utilizing software acceleration in a 3D
engine—can provide only limited sound positioning.
⑦ Auzen X-Fi™ Prelude 7.1 has all necessary connectors for 7.1 channels of digital and analog
output. You can connect to a wide range of equipment, simultaneously. In addition, the extension
port allows further expansion of the Auzen X-Fi™ Prelude 7.1. Visit www.auzentech.om for
updated information on available and compatible Auzen X-Tension’s line of product.
※Note
Some Auzentech products are only available in certain regions. For more information on product
availability and possible upgrade options, consult your local distributor or visit www.auzentech.com

8. Troubleshooting and FAQ
Q. After installing, why doesn't Windows detect the sound card?
A. Confirm that the sound card is inserted firmly into the PCI slot. If you still have a problem, insert it into another PCI
slot.
Q. Why is there a popping noise during playback?
A. Disable the onboard audio device (in CMOS menu) and update the motherboard chipset driver. Also try inserting
the sound card into another slot to for a secure IRQ resource.
Q. Why is there no sound from some channels?
A. Check the connections and cable. Then refer to user’s manual for connection information. Make sure that the
channel configuration is correct.
Q. Why doesn't the pass-thru function work when playing a movie through digital output (S/PDIF)?
A. In your player software, select the function "Using S/PDIF output" or "Using a decoder" and set the sampling rate
to 48 kHz in configuration menu.
Q. Why am I unable to use the ASIO function?
A. You can use ASIO only in Audio Creation mode. Change the mode to Audio Creation before using ASIO.
Q. Why is there no sound recorded through my microphone?
A. Select MIC as recording device on the mixer and adjust the recording level. You can amplify input gain by 20 dB
with the boost option.
Q. Why is the sound on each channel not accurate when watching movies in 5.1 channel?
A. You should set the output channel to 5.1 channel or 3/2+LFE in the configuration menu of your multimedia player.
Q. Why is there too much surround or 3D effect when playing music?
A. EAX effect can cause this problem. Deselect the check box "Using EAX effect" on the console. Or adjust the
amount of effect to reduce the 3D effect.
35
Q. Why do I only hear music on the front speakers when I activate the CMSS-3D function to listen to music
with 5.1 channel?
A. Activate the function, CMSS-3D and check "Stereo Extend." Then set the stereo envelopment fader to center.
Stereo Envelopment helps you set up the listener’s position.
Q. Why does the volume seem irregular and the audio noisy when listening to music and watching movies?
A. When MP3 or multimedia files are made, audio volume are often set overly high. You may need to adjust the
master/wave volume and use the SVM function to normalize the volume.
Q. Why are volume and settings values different on each console mode?
A. Game, Entertainment, and Audio Creation modes have a independent settings to optimize their functions.
Q. When I play music, why does it come out from all channels (5.1 or 7.1 speakers)?
A. Check whether the CMSS-3D function is activated. If so, deselect the CMSS-3D check box on the console.
Q. How do I change the OPAMP?
A. You can change the OPAMP for the Front channel. Pull out the existing OPAMP and insert the OPAMP you want
to use into the socket. Please check the direction before inserting to avoid product breakage (match the hollow side
of socket and OPAMP).
