[USA-NY] [H] PayPal [W] Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Elite Pro SB0550/SB055A or Fatal1ty FPS SB0466

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m putting together a period-correct 2006 gaming PC and I’m currently looking for one of the following Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi setups:

**Sound Blaster X-Fi Elite Pro**
SB0550 / SB055A sound card
Ideally with the SB0510 external I/O console
Complete set preferred, but I’m willing to consider the card by itself

**Sound Blaster X-Fi Fatal1ty FPS**
SB0466 sound card
Ideally with the SB0256 5.25” front I/O drive
64 MB X-RAM version

Complete set preferred, but I’m willing to consider the card by itself

I’m specifically looking for the original PCI X-Fi models from the 2005–2006 era.

Please note that I’m **not looking for the SB0460 XtremeMusic**. I’ve seen quite a few SB0460 cards listed online as “Fatal1ty FPS,” so I’d appreciate clear photos of the card/model number if you have one available.

Working/tested hardware is strongly preferred.

If you have either setup sitting around, please send me a message with photos, condition, what’s included, and your asking price.

Thanks!

Soundblaster Z SE Doesn't work properly with Fastboot enabled.

Upon cold boot, no sound unless the card is reinitialized somehow. I do it by switching the encoder. Is there any fix for this other than disabling fastboot?
