Topic: Creative Finally Releases Vista Functional X-Fi So Posted: 01 Aug 2008 at 3:31am |
We were beginning to wonder if Creative would ever update its X-Fi soundcard drives to work properly in Vista, and after the whole Daniel_K fiasco, we were about ready to throw in the towel. For those that stuck it out, Creative has finally released a new driver package that fixes the hardware Dolby Digital and DTS decoding in its X-Fi cards running under Vista. The company also added DVD Audio playback, a feature that previously went by the wayside when upgrading from XP to Vista. The new driver also addresses a niggling bug that causes system crashes when switching to an unsupported sampling rate in the Audio Creation Mode while Dolby Digital Live is enabled. All X-Fi soundcards except the Xtreme Audio version are supported with the driver update. Source: MaximumPC |

Do you get an echo when you install two sound cards?
This has been a Sunfighter quality thought of the day.
