How much are you spending on the sound card? If it's comparable to another high end card like the asus xonar d2, d2x, d1, dx, the auzentech prelude or auzentech x-fi forte, and lastly the HT omega striker 7.1, then you might want to decide about being proactive if you know that the x-fi titanium will cause issues and just simply avoid it and get another card, if that makes sense. who knows though, it might work out in the end.
X-Fi Titanium Professional Audio SB-XFT-PA on an P6T Deluxe V2
Hey guys,
I'm buying this X-Fi (Titanium Professional Audio SB-XFT-PA) and was wondering were it would work best.
I have an ASUS P6T Deluxe V2 and only one video card, so I have 1 PCI, 2PCIe x16, and 1 PCI x4 available.
I was thinking of putting the X-Fi at the lowest X16 slot (I read somewhere else that it fits OK) cause its the farthest away from everything else.
Is there any issue that I should be aware? Is the performance equal in any slot?

Also, some fellas on the creative forum have had a problem with this same setup: P6T Deluxe V2 + X-Fi (fatal1ty) + win 7 64. ( http://forums.creative.com/t5/Sound-...s-7/m-p/542196 )
Have anybody had similar problems over here? Is that just a "drivers issue"? Or is a big deal? Any guess?

Yeah, that does come to mind but I am a total fan of Creative since my I bought their SoundBlaster AWE32 (around 1997 maybe

), and actually thata post that I talked about is the only complaint I've ever heard.
It is of comparable price to Xonar and the likes, and maybe I'll even bite the bullet and go for the X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Champ (here in Japan they only sell the champ from that series).
I'm thinking those dudes (that had a problem with it) had some "drivers situation". Was just making sure

Anyway, where should I stick the card?
PCI x1, x4 or x16 (most distant from everything else inside my case)?
I am asking just regarding the positioning. I know it will work in any of those. But will it better with more space or that makes no difference (electromagnetic interference, heat...)
