About time then done another XP driver. Only been over 2 years.

**MIG-31** · Mar 15, 2008, 10:02 AM

It also contains a Firmware update for your sound card.. quite what it fixes im not sure..

Installable on my Audigy2ZS (Vista) by updating manually, as it's only the standard setup routine that doesn't validate Audigy2 cards.

Lemonzest · Mar 15, 2008, 03:31 PM

I can also confirm these works great on an Audigy 2 ZS on windows server 2003 (had to re enable sound acceleration tho after the 2nd reboot)

Don't worry guys I added support for audigy cards but won't be to April I don't have access to highspeed anymore to I move.

mike2h · Mar 16, 2008, 12:25 PM

have no idea what the prob is but since i installed these have not been able to play gw. i get about 2 mins of playing time then game shuts down.
il figure it out(i hope) but just wanted to give a 'heads up' & hoping somebody else has had similar prob... with a fix

mike2h · Mar 16, 2008, 02:27 PM

lmao. figured out problem, had been fiddling with voltages for cpu, mem, & vid late last night & forgot to return to my standard oc settings. so probs went away...

bty, dont know about anybody else, but sound seems a little more dynamic.

Robert McClelland · Mar 16, 2008, 05:28 PM

By the way did they fix the mics on this set of offical drivers for all xfi cards? Please report thankyou.

I think that fixed clicking sound what you had when you changed the operational mode.

Not as moment I don't have access to highspeed right now it might be to April to I get my new cpu then highspeed will see

I'm moving out March 25 week. Won't be my house to March 27

eSp!s0 · Mar 19, 2008, 06:50 PM

Allright

Qudeid · Mar 21, 2008, 07:26 AM

Is the Dolby and DTS problem fixed finally? Since in the web release nothing is mentioned, while in the releases before they had this as a known problem.

But on the other hand, there are only two fixes 4GB (i've never had a problem with that) RAM and digital IO detection...
I'm a little bit confused...

PS: I wanted to work with the 1.04 Vista Drivers (X-FI) but they wouldn't install because the specified ile wasn't found.. or something like that.

Do these drivers come with updated OpenAL?

The only difference I've noticed with these drivers is that my microphone appears to be very low in counter strike source.

PawWriter · Mar 21, 2008, 02:44 PM

One more question regarding OpenAL:
I've had issues with OpenAL since I accidentally uninstalled it (for the whole saga, here's my other thread Soundcard Dolby decoder issue or OpenAL?). I've come to the conclusion that it has something to do with the Dolby decoder on the card and/or its interaction with OpenAL. Any idea if this driver might fix the issue? Or can you point me in a direction for a fix?
