Workaround for the App if it should not open: the app need that Sound Blaster Services is running in the background. Newer Android Phones blocks associated launches that run in the background too save some batterypower. Go under Settings -> App Management -> Associated launch manager and ALLOW (normally everything is deactivated) Sound Blaster Services to launch and run in the Background. Hope it solves the problems with the app for somemore people that way; simply give it a try!
Requires another app that needs to be running all the time, the phone gives me constant alerts that Sound Blaster Services is resident in memory, there's no way to kill the app, it comes back all the time. As usual with Creative, there is always an effup with their products.
Not the greatest experience. The app freezes constantly. It's like it has no multitasking every bg task freezes UI... Not finding my x7 most of the time even if I'm already connected to it. Hoped for a more refined app by now.
Crazy how such expensive device can be accompanied with such old unsupported app. Device still can be purchased as new. IS TO ALL PEOPLE EXPERIENCING CONNECTION PROBLEM. At least that helped me. I got honor p20 that started to experience connection issues. Had to go to battery setting and remove app from all optimizations. Allow up to run in background auto start etc. After reboot all is good...
Creative PC installers and Apps were never great, but this one is a total mistake. Can't even turn on/off X7. App crashes, reconnects, controls in app are to small, can't set proper volume. It's 2021 guys, not 1990, hire UX designer for this APP!!!!!
After starting the app the first time, the app asks you install "sound blaster services" on your decide. After pressing install, it appears "not found" and that is all what happens. So looks like the app can't be used anymore? Disappointing
creative soundblaster x7 is a friend indeed. The app is great. There is room for improvement though but I love the gadget. it's giving exactly what I need. looking forward to see possible x8 or x9 with additional features.
This app is is terrible for a sound card device. The pc app is even worse. I cant access any mixer function because neither the app or pc app work. 2 years now zero support creatives support suggest i buy a new unit lol
Creative Ur so Creative in Android bugs! Continuosly disconnection, bad design and incredibile lags. My ENG Is poor but really better then ur Android apps and ur Windows dated software, and its really terribile for sound cards principally dedicated to Windows and for a big compatibility whit other devices
Look at the reviews and you will realise how useless this app is. Even agree more when you use this app. Only tell you to contact technical support when they didn't realise how their app is totally useless. Problem is their app is not working. Don't blame ppl give bad reviews. No point keep telling us to email to technical support when you guys don't rectify the problem. The problem keeps coming back. ππ»ππ»ππ»ππ»
This Creative sound blaster x7 is outdated product that not compatible with latest Android OS v11. The app control is not working at all and really disappointed with the product.
after casting to amp with bluetooth. control volume eq switch speaker settings and inputs. fully remote control integrated amp control.
Good decice, but no updates on software or firmware to improve the x7... looks like its a unsupported device.
Keeps repeating that it is unable to gain control of SoundBlaster X7 and to retry all the time
Can not control my device. It was never great. But now is useless. Fix the problem.
Works well for me as of last time I used it. Delivers complete remote control.
After upgrade to V1.00.23 app does not load on my phone (Oneplus3 - running latest available OS)
After the recent upgrade, app always crashes
Easy to use and better than to install the bloatware on Windows.
app worked for 3 days then it keeps saying can't gain control retry
Doesn't work on Android 10, please make this app usable.
Can't connect with my device. Whoever you paid to create this app you should ask for your money back.
nice app to control my x7 wirelessly.
Thanks, the app is working properly now.
cannot connect using my Android phone
Nothing works:/
I have been able to make sense of the app and use it effectively but I am having a few issues. First, the app only works in landscape mode. This sometimes causes Android to get stuck in landscape as well unless I turn the screen on/off. Second, many of the different tabs are clipped by the menu causing feature buttons to be obscured. Third, when connecting manually by Bluetooth the app fails to connect immediately. Usually takes a few tries, but then stays connected. Fourth, when taking phone calls, the device will not resume source audio without power cycling the x7 after a call has ended. I am using a nexus 6p with android 7. Not sure what firmware the x7 has as I haven't checked yet.
Started opening in landscape mode lately and not finding device so unusable. Am running Android P DP2 though so may need an update in a month or so (although judging by the last update date I'm not sure if this will happen??) Update: Sept 2018 and still no update despite Android 9 final version released. App still doesn't work.
App used to work well, but as my Pixel 2XL has updated Android several times (and now on Android Q), this app hasn't been updated to keep up. Several SBX features don't seem to work if you change them via the app anymore, and there's notifications every few minutes about the app not being for Android Q and may not work. I've removed it now, and will just use the software on my PC (which also hasn't been updated since 2016 for Windows). Feels like they've abandoned updating it.
