It was developed for Windows by Creative Technology Limited. Open here where you can find out more on Creative Technology Limited. The program is usually found in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Creative\Sound Blaster X-Fi\AudioCS directory (same installation drive as Windows).

CTAudCS.exe is the Creative Audio Control Panel's main executable file and it occupies approximately 276.00 KB (282624 bytes) on disk.
Maybe this is because of some optimization, but I wouldn't exactly call it expected behaviour. The application will exit.īecause of the wording I was certain that this was somehow related to faulty drivers/windows 10. The audio device supported by this application is not detected. No matter which driver and possible workaround I tried, opening the audio control panel would always give me the error: Little did I know this would lock me out of the creative audio control panel, so I couldn't get the mic jack to work until I discovered this fact for myself.
This can be configured using the creative control panel (default is line in).Īt one point during Windows setup, I do my sound settings and disable all devices I don't need, including the SB X-Fi speaker output. The aforementioned port is a FlexiJack, which means it can be used as either line in or mic jack. I switched to using only headphones and external DAC+AMP a long time ago, so I only kept the sound card for the mic, because it's significantly better than the onboard solutions I had.
This probably isn't a widespread issue since it comes down to an unusual use case: using only the microphone input of the sound card.
There are numerous threads online with people having driver issues and similar symptoms, but I didn't see this mentioned anywhere. This post is about recent frustrations with my old SB X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ity (EMU20K2) PCIe sound card. TL DR The creative audio control panel won't open until the output device is enabled in windows sound settings
