Does this work under Windows 7 ?
Ket I would just like to say there is NO placebo effect here. Last week I upgraded from 7057 to retail Windows 7 and since then my sound has been crap. I had no idea why but music sounded empty and I couldn't pinpoint exactly where gunfire originated in BF2. I just (as in an hour ago) realised what happened while going through Device Manager to remove my graphics drivers, including the ATI HD Audio driver and... Realtek XFi is now just Realtek HD. I downloaded your driver again and installed it and the effects are IMMEDIATELY noticable. My music seems to have more of a 'driving force' behind it - I have no idea how to explain it but that's how it sounds. BF2 is also sounding the way it was meant to be played once more :D Thank you very much for this driver, it DOES make a difference :)
Hi Ket. I'm sort of confused here about what's going on with people mentioning different cards that I'm not very familiar with. I am using Creative SB X-FIs both pci and Titanium on XP rigs and very familiar with the add on software, speaker calibration, THX etc as I often test sound before gaming.
My question is: Planning a new W7-64 rig (AMD AM3 > AMD 890GX/SB850 > M4A89GTD PRO/USB3) and using the new onboard ALC 892 HD CODEC at first. Will your driver be of any use for onboard audio?
Thanks
Ket, the download links are dead :(
Is this even worth anything though?
Like can I use a few perameq's and a reverb for effects like I could with the original soundstorm drivers?
Currently, in win7, all I get is cheap bs effects.
I miss my peramic eq's lol.
And my realtime stereo/mono to dolby digital 5.1 encoding... miss that one alot too.
Please note, I barely commented in this thread because of known bashers of anything Creative labs. I wasn't going to get anywhere. I've been accused of working for Intel, I don't, both ATI and nVidia and I work for Neither, and most of all, Creative Labs, I don't work for them, get free cards from them or etc..... I know folks who had problems with Creative and Asus sound cards. Only a fool thinks computer hardware is without faults, bugs and or errata.Quote:

I got most of the apps to work really well by simply fully installing and updating my X-Fi card. Then shutting down and removing the card. Booted up my Foxconn P45SA 775 and Q9550. There was one little problem, even Creative's "crap hardware as Ket called" sounds better than the on board stuff. Xonar's better hardware either "COLORS" the sound too much. I know the new X-Fi drivers were moded because old drivers would crash when I ran them on anything but a Creative card.
With the new drivers, realtek, you can't adjust anything, you can only pick out of the handful of effect names, like hall, room, stadium, etc.
With the old school drivers you could make your own config.
Just a guess...
Perhaps the x-fi drivers have a better stock effect config.
Maybe that's the diffrence you guys are hearing.
That's what I'm thinking.
Not that it is a gimick or bs.
That would be a real inprovement actually.
I hate the new realtek drivers.
The control panel sucks and you can't change a darn thing, you can only pick form preset effect configs and they all suck.
I might try this x-fi driver for the realtek's out later on for my dfi 790fx.
Some time or another I'll try it out.
At the moment though, my current system uses a via chip, the asus crosshair 4.
Supposedly it can use the x-fi driver's or cpl, but I haven't beeen able to figuer that out yet.
Win7's built in effect config for the speaker out is slightly better then the default realtek cpl stuff.
Bass boost (lowers other freq db's though to make the boost).
Loudness eq, but that is only useful for crappy audio tracks that are pre-mixed to low.
Not much..., but better then nothing.
Because Vista and Windows 7 removed sound for System Mode or Hardware based to User or Software Mode. Each change of software can and does change the sound, sometimes for the better, other times for the worse.Quote:
