Ohwhyme Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Got the same bsod as everyone. Try the youp-pax application suite, it works perfectly. I didn't install the new creative console launcher though maybe thats why I get a bsod, I only updated the driver :o. Tantawi: Did you just update the driver without installing the console launcher like me or? Thanks for the info.

+Tantawi Subscriber² Posted October 1, 2007 Author Subscriber² Share Posted October 1, 2007 I confirm the problem is caused by thew new drivers, not ALchemy. I'm now using the May drivers with the latest version of ALchemy and no BSOD (Y). Waiting for a fixed driver, hopefully before 2008!

jefexp Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 any word if this fixes the 4GB RAM / Vista issue? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/591358-new-creative-x-fi-series-vista-driver-alchemy/#findComment-588889856 Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Tantawi Subscriber² Posted October 1, 2007 Author Subscriber² Share Posted October 1, 2007 any word if this fixes the 4GB RAM / Vista issue? I never had such a problem, I think it's something related to nforce chipsets only. Anyway even if it's fixed, you'll be stuck with a BSOD once you exit any game. I recommend waiting for an update because something is really screwed up in this set of drivers.

Well, sound works and games play. I gave it set at 5.1 but only 2.1 actually outputs. No BSOD though. I guess no worse off than the 2.12 set since the 2.15 didnt work at all.

L3thal Veteran Posted October 2, 2007 Veteran Share Posted October 2, 2007 Updated and it seems to work, though I did not test with any games since I pretty much stopped gaming on the PC due to lack of time.

Argi Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Can anyone confirm/deny if updated Audigy drivers are included in this release or not? An earlier poster mentioned that they might be, and Creative aren't exactly forthcoming when it comes to drivers updates... (last update: March).
