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.

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 OneDrive is getting a simple yet much needed feature

      By +samw61 · Posted

      This is needed! Good to see them working on it. My solution up until now at work is to hide all MY folders, showing only the shortcuts, but linking my personal folders to the corresponding Libraries. Having this exposed in the Navigation pane of File Explorer means that I have easy nested access to my stuff, as well as all the shortcuts under the OneDrive folder when needed, often open as I only have about 10 or so linked sources.
