Just read Raj's post above, I might give those Pax drivers a look at a later date.

well if you do, http://www.technewsh...ead.php?t=9170. i can't speak for everyone else, but official creative drivers have always been a giant pain for me, this guys and danielk's drivers have have worked great.

I have a set of the Tactic3D Alpha series headsets, and the drivers/software/firmware hasn't been updated in almost a year; pretty sad.

There is almost no support from Creative unless you have their higher end sound cards... a shame really.

Where's my Audigy 2 Driver? That card is still better than all the latest integrated ones

It's nice to see that they are releasing Windows 8 beta drivers.

[Kool Box]

Yes it is. Hopefully they will perform at least as well as the Win 7 set at launch time

Great thread, I suspect something and I was right.

There's newer (beta) Windows 7 drivers buried in the Windows 8 drivers. Creative has done this before (hidden newer driver's for older cards).

• Download and extract the files from the driver .exe (I use 7zip to extract the files)
  
• Go in to the Drivers folder
  
• Run Setup

Only try if your up for a bit of adventure and may risk breaking your computer.

Creative drivers for Windows 8 will come out of beta when Windows 10 is about to release.

[Kool Box]

Seems they have reposted the beta Windows 8 driver for the X-Fi range with a newer digital certificated dated 26th September 2012. Maybe they fixed the "no sound after restart" issue but as they have not posted any release notes I cannot say for sure.

Ive installed the latest Daniel K. drivers ( http://www.lecuistre.net/pages/WN5fnG/ ) for my Audigy 2 ZS and everything is working except im very disapoint son about the equaliser ! 5 BANDS!! on a card that sold for that much while Realtek have over 10 bands EQ. But the sound quality is so good i'm sticking to my ZS anyway. Anyone here can tell me if the X-Fi cards have better EQ's and if they could work on older sound cards ?

Looks like Windows 8 users of the Reacon3D PCIe card have got an updated driver published via windows update today.
