Sound Blaster X-Fi
Model SB0770 / SB0772
Revision 1.2
Introduction
Creative Labs has a long heritage of providing top
quality and leading edge audio solutions to the mass PC
population with the Sound Blaster® range of both
internal and external sound cards and devices.
It all began in 1981 with the founding of Creative Labs,
although it would be another eight years before the
Sound Blaster® card would be born. There have been
many cards along the way; the Sound Blaster® 16
exploded onto the market and with the Sound Blaster®
AWE32 everyone realized that a sound card could not
only make “sounds” but also music. The Sound
Blaster® Live! was a major leap forward bringing
multi-channel audio and immense processing power to
the audio platform and the Sound Blaster® Audigy®
added more power and EAX® ADVANCED HD™
effects while also providing a quality of audio never
experienced before.
Along the way Creative has reached out to a whole new
audience with our USB Sound Blaster and PCMCIA
Sound Blaster range of products. Now comes a truly
revolutionary new product. It’s so revolutionary that
the only comparison we have in terms of the leap
forward being made is with Sound Blaster Live! back
in 1998!
The Creative X-Fi processor is a truly revolutionary
platform that delivers the new “Xtreme Fidelity” audio
standard. It is revolutionary because of the raw power
that it delivers (over 10,000 MIPS) generated from
more than 51 million transistors! This is the equivalent
to running 24 Sound Blaster Audigy cards in your PC
all parallel processing audio! This incredible power
allows us to deliver the Xtreme Fidelity audio standard,
which unlike any other standard does not require you to
do anything different than before or buy any new
content. Sound Blaster X-Fi Fatal1ty Platinum as a
revolutionary platform therefore delivers a whole host
of revolutionary new features.
SB0770 is a new iteration of PCI Sound Blaster X-Fi
that is designed to meet new requirement of Windows
Vista. A new ASIC chip CA0112 is developed to meet
the Microsoft Universal Audio Architecture (UAA)

initiative. With UAA compliant hardware, the product
is able to “just work” (basic feature) with the class
driver provided by the operating system.
