Hi guys!

So, here's the up-to-date status of the kX Project.

* 3548 release should support most of x64 and x86 OSes, including Windows Vista, Windows 7.
* There are certain compatibility issues with Vista/Windows7 still. For instance, Speaker Test will not work. Some people reported they needed to change kX playback buffer size to avoid clicks.
* x64 build does only support x64 hosts. We currently have no plans to implement x86 ASIO emulation layer over x64 (any volunteer to do that?)

I will be working on the following features (August'2009, Autumn'2009):

* 44.1kHz support for E-DSP cards - this is partially available in 3548 via kxctrl command, but seems to be a bit glitchy
* Mac OS X driver: recording and 44.1kHz mode for E-DSP cards

OS X driver:
Two guys are working on AC97 support and E-DSP Control, so, if you wish to participate in development, drop me a message. Unfortunately, noone is working on the kX DSP port, except for some OpenGL-based GUI...

Windows:
I know there are millions of features I could probably add in the future, but for a project of such age as kX (almost 9 years!), it is unclear where to go next, if ever. I will probably keep an eye on it time to time, but I strongly suggest people start opensource development of all the components they are interested in (except the kernel-level code, which cannot be released opensource).

Please note: if you have something urgent to tell me, use e-mail, not the forum or private messages. I don't read them and won't answer you.

Thanks

E.

Well, it seems you won't pay any more attention on Windows for live/audigy1/2 cards, that's a bad news for me , cos I don't have a E-DSP card nor I'm using the Mac. although new features for emu10kx cards is not very important, but I hope you pay more attention on Old soundcards like Live! , Try to make it work perfectly in Windows 7 , forget the Vista , that's a Failure OS.

windows 7 is the future.

First of all thanks for your work.
What i missed very much in the previous version (or at least i dont know how to activate it on my SB0060) is the SPDIF out.
Im using two from the many pins on the card to forward the digital sound to my video card spdif in, then my video card sends the picture and the sound through HDMI cable to my TV. Its working on XP with creative drivers but not on win7 with kx.
Did i overlook it and it and its a feature already which could be turn on, or is it not implemented? If not implemented then it would be a very big help, because right now when i want to watch movies i have to restart my pc with xp.

am surprise to see 64bit driver realized.
cheers!
