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 ?

    • Google Finance is now out of beta with improved portfolio tracking and a new Android app by Karthik Mudaliar Google is taking its redesigned Google Finance experience out of beta and adding several new features, including portfolio tracking, scheduled market briefings, and a dedicated Android app. The company says the updates are beginning to roll out globally this week, while an iOS app is planned for later in 2026. The most notable addition is the new portfolio feature. Instead of entering every investment manually, users can upload a screenshot, CSV file, or PDF containing their holdings. They can also tell Google Finance what they own using natural language, such as the number of shares held in a particular company or fund. Google Finance will then place those investments into a dashboard showing performance, asset allocation, concentration risk, and the holdings responsible for the biggest gains or losses. Existing portfolios created with the older version of Google Finance should appear automatically. The built-in AI research panel can use the portfolio as context when answering questions. For example, users can ask which sectors are underrepresented or how their fixed-income allocation could affect long-term growth. Google says portfolio data will remain private and that uploaded files and images will not be retained. Users will also be able to edit or delete their portfolio information after it has been imported. Google Finance is also getting scheduled tasks. These let users request recurring reports such as a daily summary of overnight cryptocurrency movements or a weekly update about newly announced initial public offerings. There is also a new Google Finance app for Android. It includes watchlists, interactive charts, real-time market data, a live news feed, and the same AI research panel available on the web. Google has been gradually expanding the AI-powered Finance redesign since it first entered testing. In April, the experience was expanded to more than 100 countries, bringing its research tools, advanced charts, and market news to a much larger audience. That was followed by a wider European rollout in May, which added features including live earnings calls, transcripts, and AI-generated summaries. The ability to import an entire portfolio from a screenshot or document should make Google Finance considerably easier to set up. However, Android users will have to wait for feature parity with the web version, and Google has yet to say exactly when the iOS app will arrive.
