POSSIBLE BSOD Portcls fix for Creative X-fi's--NEEDS TESTING.

The new creative drivers solved it for me (64bit), they were released about 1 week ago.

Yes, I have the same problem and now is gone, no more BSOD.
My sound cards is SB X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatal1ty Pro and I am using the driver SBXF_PCDRV_L11_2_18_0015A ( 25 Jan 13 ).

good luck

My system goes to powersaving mode after about 30 min. of playing. I have played with my headset (microsoft lifechat lx-3000)(crashes) but my speakers have realtek high definition audio. I haven't tried playing with them. should i use my speakers, or what is the problem and how to fix it?

Thanks already!

Greetings, i get Bsod like every 30mins or entering most Act 2 zones, tried everything to fix this but sadly nothing works

Creative SB Audigy 2

Hope for fix ^^

yeah I know, old thread - but it helped me a lot, until the last server restart, today - sound issues are back. I have the classic "problem-setup" of an soundblaster x-fi... any suggestions besides this regedit fix?

I have a Asus Crosshair V Formula with a bundled Creative X-Fi MB 2 software solution, but I never experienced any issue with it.

I suppose it isn't the same thing as what's being discussed here.

Wanna tackle this one next? www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/523051

The thread link takes you to similar problems ruttujututin is having. Every poster there has been using Realtek drivers. However I uninstalled mine and put in a Razer Barracuda card and I am still having lock-up issues.

Since GGG only offer band-aides as their solutions rather than fixing their games obvious problems.

DisableXRAM worked for me, however now I'm getting these problems instead: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/623040

Could be good if you define 'The new' as what model SB Card you have because for me with the X-Fi Titanium HD there is only drivers some 2 years old.
