I hate the Creative SB Live drivers that they have and I have had wayyy too many problems with them. Are there any other 3rd-party drivers I can use for my card other than the kX drivers (I think that's what they are called, I had problems with those too)

Thanks.

There are the YouPaxx drivers or something a long those lines.

What problems are you having with the the other driver?

The new ones don't work.

The old ones are way too buggy.

I've had problems with them ever since I can remember and I've tried to fix it many times but I've given up.

If you can find out the model number by opening the case or downloading a program called EVEREST under Devices/PCI Devices-(wich will tell you the model number). It will let me know if you can use the drivers I'm using. Sounds like you have the same problem I did with my Dell CT4780. Drivers where buggy and couldn't use the new ones from creative without loosing all options and software that came with it.

Just as long as its not one of them sb020 type model numbers, they will work.

try uninstalling all sound drivers, then boot into safe mode, run driver cleaner pro (you can get it from guru3d.com) and clean out all creative and kx drivers. then hit tools and select cab cleaner, and run that on the driver.cab (this might take 10 minutes or so). now reboot and try the latest kx drivers again.

    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences"

      By Big John Studd · Posted

      Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/

      This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?

      Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store

      Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?

      MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
