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.
