I had no problems with the older drivers on XP 32bit as well.
For these new drivers though, on Vista x64, in order to get any order, I had to switch Wave Out HQ to Master Mixer, so not sure if that is why my Kx Mixer is messed. It doesn't set me set Wave Out HQ back to default playback device.

Russ

No, that should not cause that behavior.

BTW: Make sure that you post a Bug Report about this (the mixer issue), as Eugene may not read every post in this thread.

I'm trying to use Daniel K's creative driver pack with Creative WaveStudio 7 in Vista x64 with 4GB memory (these drivers are based off creative's official ones). But the recording from s/pdif has popping noise in it. I think this is due to using 4GB of memory? I plan on installing 8GB soon, need a way to do direct recording in vista x64...

Made a post in bug forum.

So.. W7 x64 RTM, 4Gb RAM, SB0220, aaaaaaaand..all OK! =) without "magic" with buffer's size! yeh, now if u listen any stereo signal, only 2 speakers (& sub) will work. But if u realy want 5.1 in the stereo signal (are u seriously? =)) it will not a problem if u know smth about kxDSP Aaand respect u for it, kx-Team! =)

Is ASIO working in Windows 7?

The ASIO control panel won't show up and Thuneau Allocator says there is no ASIO driver present.


EDIT: I see other have this problem too. I have tried regsvr32 and it says it registers OK, but even after multiple restarts ASIO still isn't showing up. I forgot to mention this is with 32bit Win7.

subiculum

No ASIO Control Panel whatever suggested method I tried. Doesn't anyone know how the ASIO control panel is called? If there is a reference for it in the registry, maybe that can be broken (bad GUID or similar stuff I am thinking of...)

3550, CT4832, Win7 x86 7600 (w/updated kernel b#20510).

I would like to thank you so much. Your Drivers saved me today. Btw. Win7 64 sblive value

@ subiculum
Search in the Registry for the following KEY:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\kX\ASIO
and look inside.
If you see values OTHER than 0 - I can't help you.
But if all values are 0 - then deleting whole ASIO key and closing the Regedit MAY help, but use it on your own risk.
This method helped a long time ago, when we have some little troubles with UFX installer.

My system:
Windows 7 Ultimate x64
kx 3550 drivers
Hardware:
10k1 based Soundblaster Live! 5.1 (SB0060)
leadtek winfast 2000xp expert tv card (connected on aux and working)

When i test speakers i get "failed to create sound" message, i hear sound when i play music and all speakers works when i play 5,1 movie, but i cant setup microphone to work on skype.

This is the first time to use this drivers, always used original creative drivers for XP 32-bit; All these settings in this drivers confuses me, what should i use and how to setup everything to work (i don't use SPIDF)

Sarma

Hm...first of all thank you VERY MUCH!!! Finally a "No Blue Screen driver".

Works fine.

I think i have managed to work out click problem, just increased size of buffer, but...

I see many people asked, but non of them got an answer.
There is no 5.1 sound when i listen music...i can manage only 2 speakers to work(front\rear\subcen) they don`t work together as one device, like they worked when i used XP(now on x86 win7-7600)...

Can we somehow fix this using software included, set it up somehow, or is it because of the driver?
Thank you in forward.

edit:

Update: changed default sound to SPDIF/AC3 and "subwoofer" and "surround" settings seems to be working. Dunno why SPDIF —*I don’t have any SPDIF speakers, but it works.

original post 3550 bug reports

THANK YOU TIMBEEEEEER!!!

For Xp 32bit ,
has any sense using latest one (like less latency or whatever)?

Scrolling i see just tweaks and stuff for vista /7 or 64bit users.
--Think i have 3549 if i remember correctly.

i finally managed to fix the broken ASIO control panel.
--on Win 7 Professional, 32bit, A2ZS (SB0350)
at this point i can't remember if i had installed the Creative driver manually a while ago or if it came with windows.
anyway, there was a CTASIO.dll in the system32 folder and a few entries in the registry pointing to it, causing the Creative (thus non-working) ASIO panel to open when an app tried to access ASIO.
removing the file and all related reg entries fixed this, but still no kx ASIO panel. driver reinstall wouldn't help.

to make it work, you have to
a) add the kX folder to PATH or copy its content to an existing PATH folder (e.g. windows\system32\)
b) open the registry, go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run
and create a string (any name, since load order doesn't seem to matter) with the value "regsvr32 /s kxasio.dll".
c) make sure the other ASIO registry values mentioned above
(in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\kX\ASIO) are correct, which was the case here.

et voilà. this should do the trick.
for some reason, manually registering kxasio.dll via cmd (even before starting kxmixer) doesn't work, it has to be done via autorun.

apparently, the driver installation routine forgets to create this string in some cases.
this could be related to the existing ctasio.dll.
i can't reproduce the error until the next OS install, so maybe someone can verify this.

can anybody help me please?

Tyrsonswood

The speaker test doesn't work in Win7............. if everything else is working, then just don't worry about the speaker test.

I don't know about skype setup for your mic, but check this thread, Cannot use Mic for recording or using Skype

And also i have the problem with speaker selection, in kx mixer i can not setup my speakers as 5.1, it shows that i have 7.1 which i do not have.

Russ

Note: The above needs to be done from an elevated command prompt.

(I think this might not be necessary if you run the kX installer as administrator (i.e. right/secondary click -> "Run as administrator"))

help....

Timbre (bass/treble) not working on my SB live DE 5.1 & Win 7 X86 Enterprise.... i moved the sliders up and down and nothing happened... please help

Russ

The only (likely) reason the plugin would not work would be because the signal is not going through it (check for a signal on the 'Peak' plugin). Check which device you are using for audio playback (it is probably using Wave 4/5 or Wave 6/7 when it should be Master Mixer), or use a custom DSP config.

Sorry, but the above is gibberish

In any case, I think you are probably talking about the problem discussed in the following thread: Problems getting 5.1 content working.

golliver

unfortunately, registration to this forum came too late for me.

but here's what i managed to find out before i switched to another sound card.

before 3550, only driver that worked with over 4gb for me was 3545 and they were working flawlessly under 2003r2 server 32bit with /PAE.

i finally switched to w7 x64 ultimate to see if 3550 works, but i realized all was too good to be true

to see ASIO control panel, you have to start kx mixer in "elevated" mode (right click on it and select run as administrator, or properties/compatibility/run as administrator)
anyway, current kx (i think of 3550) has only xy-bit ASIO for the operatin system that it's installed in: 32bit in 32bit win and 64bit in 64bit windows.

only way for 32bit applications to use ASIO in 64bit enviroment is for ASIO driver to support both 64bit and 32bit operation.

as i can see, some of the manufacturers that make sound cards with ASIO 64bit support also have in their drivers support for 32bit applications in 64bit enviroment, like MOTU, ECHO...

for now, 3550 ASIO works only in x64 applications in x64 windows. no trick mentioned here worked.

also, i've been experiencing same "bugs/or not" as some other people on this forum with missing icons on kxmixer.

i've been using audigy2 and 8gb of ram in w7 x64 ultimate.

Eugene: thanks for the great drivers all these years

cheers

Hi You All!

I'm halfway so solve my Audigy 2 ZS - Win7 conflict using KX 3550. For today I've got brilliant sound out of my card. But I'm not able to give life to the line-in and other inputs of the card, so I can't use my turntable via pre-amp.
I tryed the recording mixer, but silence only everywhere. What do I have to do?
