Are you using the stock op amps? If not make sure that your op-amps are compatible with SB X7.
My first SB X7 stopped working suddenly after I upgraded to metal can op amp, maybe the OP AMPS were bad.
Luckily I had warranty so I received a brand new from creative.
I was using AD797 which the original poster in this thread recommended (among others).
English site of the store where I bought these:

The original reviewer stated that supply voltage for the 4 replaceable op-amps is 22.3 volt . The ones I bought are only rated for 15V. Maybe that was the problem. I never went any higher then 20% Volume on the speakers and 30% low gain on the headphones, though.
I am going to use Burson Audio V5i though, starting today after work.
Burson explicitly lists them as a replacement for NJM2214D (Dual) and LME49710 (Single). They are rated for 32V max.
