POSSIBLE BSOD Portcls fix for Creative X-fi's--NEEDS TESTING.
|
The "-softwareaudio" did not fix the Bluescreen on Alt-Tab with my Soundblaster X-Fi Titanium. But the Regedit fix did work!
However later in the game i got another portctl.sys blue screen just playing regularly. |

Had 2-3 blue screens yesterday, tried a few of the fixes but haven't played long enough to see if they worked really. Hopefully not an issue anymore because it is so annoying to have to open all my programs again.

Hey, thanks so far for this fix. Will try it myself and report back afterwards.
Have fun playing, all of you :) |

I've never had any BSOD issues with my X-Fi and PoE in the year that I've played it.
Course, it's the XtremeGamer, so it doesn't have XRAM. Every day I'm glad I don't have problems with my sound card; but I always hate the fact that mine is PCI, possibly reducing performance (due to patent issues with PCI prefetching and it being removed from some boards). I still sit here wondering if switching to a PCI-E card will have any benefit at all. I don't mean to sound rude, but I can't help the way people interpret my words.

Also facing these errors and they are obviously x-fi driver related.
this is a bugcheck analysis of a kernel memory dump of a PoE BSOD " The ctoss2k.sys is a Creative OS Services Driver. I use the following audio devices: Creative SB X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatal1ty Pro (Driverversion: 2.18.15(current)) Logitech G930 Headset Other Detail: Windows 7 Enterprise x64 SP1 Intel C2Duo E8400 4 GB RAM Geforce GTX 560 Ti (Driverversion: 306.02) In-detail analysis:

This didn't made any difference on a Audigy 2 zs card.

i solved that problem with using an USB-headset, editing the registry didnt help

Hey guys, for any one still having BSOD with their creative cards i noticed (before this fix) that i was getting more BSOD if there was any background non PoE sounds.
For example i would get a BSOD instantly as soon as some one would talk to me on steam. Exit or disable the sounds on any instant messaging progams, don't play music in the background, don't voice chat, basicly disable anything that could possibly make a sound while you are playing PoE. Also as you should know don't Alt Tab out of the game, and if you run the game through steam as a non steam game like i do don't use the overlay. The regedit fix seems to have fixed the problem for me I'm using a Titanium PCI-E card. |
