Hi Robert, and thanks for your drivers!

One problem though: Yesterday I installed the new official drivers from Creatve over some old PAX drivers. Now the Graphic Equalizer doesn't work anymore!
So I tried your new ones, still doesn't work.
Now I am using the new beta drivers form Creative, but still no Graphic Equalizer...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am running XP and have an Audigy 2ZS card.

Hi Robert,

Thanks for all your work. I'm currently using your Pax_Notebook_XFI_Audio_Mo0.rar and it working great.

It seems like you are adding some new improvements to your newer xfi/audigy drivers so i am just wondering if you are planning to add them as well to the x-fi notebook ones

hey guys and girls (of course) ;-)
i´´m new here, but i´m reading a lot since thursday, when i got my x-Fi PCI-e Titanium. This site is great (i don´t say that because i have to, it is so ;-) ) i thought i could put my Xbox360 on it (digital in) to geht full dolby, but only Dolby Stereo works because there´s no decoder! :-( is there any possibility that the next Driver would be for PCI-e too and does Dolby Sourround works then?! :-)

Sorry for my BAD English, but writing isn´t as easy as reading ;-)

greetings from Germany----> Bavaria ;-) *g*

Hix, I like the sound of Pax 6.15 very much, bass is amazing. I'm aware of PAX 3.33 and 3.63 can enable DTS and DD on Dell OEM cards but why Pax 6.15 can not. Please help me. Thank u so much.

Robert McClelland · Oct 8, 2008, 12:16 PM

No EAX presets in this edition creative fault but this set really worth to have 

you mean, EAX doesn't work in game or there is no eax effect in entertainment mode (jazz club, opera hall etc.) ??

do SPDIF work on xfi extreme music in the newest release of pax ??

kelston · Oct 9, 2008, 05:05 AM

In Vista 64, if I right click the volume icon in the taskbar and click either Playback or Recording Devices, I get an error saying there was a problem with the Audio Enhancements for "Speakers (Creative X-Fi)" and asks if I want to disable the Audio Enhancements.

I know this was also an error in the last official Creative beta driver set.

Is this a known issue or am I doing something wrong?

Yes that what I ment to stay there is no eax effect in entertainment mode (jazz club, opera hall etc.)

Ya I think Spdif works I herd one my testers so far I had no complains about this driver set yet

kelston · Oct 9, 2008, 07:25 PM

In addition to this slightly annoying error, i'm being told that my voice output is absolutely horrible now compared to before I started using these drivers.

Talkin to the same group of people over Ventrilo i've been talkin to for years, they're telling me that i'm extremely staticky now and the voice quality is highly deteriorated. Given that i've changed nothing but the drivers, i'm goin to have to assume it's the drivers.
