Does this support 64bit versions of Windows do you know? My flatmate has been having ongoing issues with microphone support on his original Audigy card under 64bit Windows Vista and Windows 7 and is desperately trying ANY drivers he can find!

I have had big time problems with my mic on Win 7 x64 with Audigy 2 ZS. The solution for me: skip the audigy card and use the built-in sound instead and voila - mic works perfect.

Should do, Creative's driver packages usually cater for both flavours.

I think he's leaning towards trying his onboard card as well.. getting sick of Creatives inability to produce fully functional drivers!

That's why my Audigy 2 Platinum is sitting on a shelf in a anti-static bag. :laugh: Onboard sound is fairly decent these days (at least the HD Audio is). It doesn't sound *quite* as warm and rich as my Audigy 2 did, but it's not bad.

I'm using this driver in windows 7 64 bit with an audigy 4 with no problems (besides wmp not playing mp3s unless i disable enhancements)

This! How can they release a driver update without even testing it with WMP? Even the Sound CP says the hardware enhancements are causing problems and should be disabled. My Audigy 4 is waiting on the shelf for CL to 'pull their heads out' as well. Meanwhile my on-board Sigmatel(IDT) is working great with full 5.1 and no crashes or warnings to disable anything. :)

Disabling 'enhancements' kills CMSS and EAX, effectively turning the Audigy into a generic 2-channel sound card.

Has anyone gotten auto update to work with these drivers under Windows 7x64 RTM? I have these installed but every time I run auto update I get the message: "Creative Software AutoUpdate was unable to detect any Creative products attached to your computer." Also I had a ton more features when I was running the same card in Vista x64.

Currently running this on Asus P6t mobo.

Wonderful! Worked great on my brother's old machine. He runs Windows 7 and had some issues w/ his Sound Blaster Audigy card. This update fixed most of them. One of the annoying issues left is the Creative Game Port staying as an Unknown Device. I've read about other people having problems w/ it, in both Vista and 7. So annoying. If anybody ran into this issue and has any idea on how to fix the driver, it would be great.

Thanks for the news tip.

It seems that the Creative Console Launcher Application for the X-Fi Titanium series has been updated to operate properly under Windows 7. Does anybody know if Creative Console for the original X-Fi sound cards, like XtremeMusic, will be updated for Win7 anytime soon?

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.

    • "No. The "New Outlook for Windows" does not support non-cloud mailboxes (such as on-premises Exchange servers). Furthermore, because the New Outlook effectively functions as a web-based client, it requires all connected accounts—even standard IMAP or POP accounts—to route and cache data through Microsoft's cloud servers. You can verify the accepted account setups using the Microsoft Supported Account Types Guide." Built to fail "New" Outlook is basically just webmail in a window wrapper and it's usefulness reflects that.
