Bought the Wireless XMOD after I bought a new wireless router (DLink DIR-655). Wife's macbook could access the wireless network fine until I hooked up the XMOD.
Apparently the Creative Wireless interferes with other things in the 2.5ghz spectrum.
Called Creative. There is no way to disable the wireless feature. I even removed the wireless module from inside the XMOD and my system wouldn't recognize it any longer. Put the module back in and covered the XMOD with aluminum foil, hoping to create a sort of Faraday cage... Didn't help.
It's as good as garbage right now.
 Works on the sound bar, not on the MP3. November 3, 2008

I was worried this wouldn't work with my new Philips Sound Bar - but no problem! I used the RCA jacks (red/white) on the back of the X-FI receiver. The volume isn't quite a high as normal on either the PC or the Sound Bar, but it's not a problem. Hook up was very simple. Now I have music upstairs and down - love it! My MP3 didn't work well at all on this, though. The music was very muted, as though it needed more power. I didn't really buy it for that purpose, so am not so disappointed.

Just got it...could hardly wait. It was so worth it. I have been jealous of my friend with his Mac and Apple Airport Extreme but, not anymore. The transmitter is a bit large for a laptop, but oh well...the quality is awesome. Those negative reviews are so far off base. It seems those individuals do not understand what it is meant to do. This item comes with little instruction (just Ikea-style diagrams),which scared me a bit, but no worries, it is that easy. Plug, plug and play. No drivers, no loading, no frustration. it simply works beautifully from the get go.
Sound is amazing, clear and unobstructed,I am using with a wirless router and though there are warnings about placement, it is not an issue for me. Remotes work well with little drag time. X-fi effects are great (try with headphones OMG).I am so happy with this item and add to that, It came direct from Creative at a tremendous discount!! Go ahead, buy without regret and enjoy the music!!
Great product November 1, 2008

Worked right out of the box. No issue with interfering with wireless network or 2.4G phone system - have the transmitter sitting next to my router and 5 ft from the phone base. Built in sound enhancements sound great. Have it feeding into my Home Theater system in the next room.
Paid $50 wi free shipping - caught a one day sale on the manufacturers web site. Within span of three days price on their site went from $100, to $50, to $200. If you want this product - worth auditing Creative's web site a while.
