One can get all of these updates (official, not beta obviously) from just running the Creative Updater correct? If so I will do that, as it has been a month or so since I have last run it.

Certainly not the case for my cards i've owned. Newer drivers have provided more features in some cases, so updating is strongly recommended.

Same here. I have not had an issue with any Creative drivers since like 2007 actually.

Now of course I am going to have issues with the next drivers I install, Murphys Law FTL.

For some reason the autoupdater client no longer seems to work for me here, when I launch it I get a dialogue box saying "This action cannot be completed because the other program is busy. Choose 'switch to' to activate the busy program and correct the problem" there is a choice of switch to or retry (Cancel is greyed out) hitting retry does nothing and hitting switch to just opens the start menu!

Going to the website is even worse, choosing the option to auto check for software autoupdate gives an error about Vista not being supported, I am running Win7 Pro x64 :(

That said I have installed the SBXF_PCDRVBETA_US_2_18_0015 drivers as I have a X-Fi XtremGamer Fatal1ty Pro card and found that the popping I was getting before has gone, so these are good for me :)

[edit]

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

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.

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 ?

    • Ah well, who needs computers in the next 10... 15 years right? At this point is just money laundering.
    • RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 and Voidwrought are free on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe PC gamers can now jump in and grab two more games to keep this week, as the Epic Games Store's ever-present giveaway promotion has just gone through another refresh. Replacing last week's Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat offers, the store has brought in RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Complete Edition and Voidwrought to keep. From the duo, Roller Coaster Tycoon 3: Complete Edition is an enhanced version of the classic title that was originally released in 2004. It comes with enhancements such as widescreen and 1080p resolution support, as well as increased compatibility with modern PC hardware. It also comes bundled with all the extra content from the Soaked! and Wild! expansion packs. "Control park finances, shops, services and staff to succeed in dozens of scenarios," reads the description. "Become a true tycoon and embark on your promising new career, or create your ideal park without money woes in sandbox mode. Satisfy your guests’ needs and keep your park running smoothly to succeed." If management is not your style, Voidwrought lands as a 2D action-platformer featuring hand-drawn cosmic horrors. The title touts tight platforming and close‑quarters combat, all brought together with a strong emphasis on mobility. "Descend below the star-scorched surface and explore the multidimensional depths below," says the studio Powersnake about the game. "Witness the corrupted revelry of the Court, lose yourself in the icy tunnels of the Old Waters, and discover the grim fate of the Abandoned Expedition." The RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Complete Edition and Voidwrought giveaways are set to run until June 25 on the Epic Games Store, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, new freebies will take their place on the same day as always. Don't forget that mobile gamers can check out the Epic Game Store's weekly giveaways on Android and iOS to grab a freebie there as well.

    • If you look at the account logs more than likely it will be showing that the request is coming from Valley Nebraska. we have been seeing thousands of these the last day or so.
