Are X-F1 new drivers installable over beta

Installed the 5/30/06 Betas that said they were good until September 06 when they safely could be replaced. The new driver set including the beta changes is now available. Is there any problem installing these new drivers over the Betas??Message Edited by dogin on 08-02-2006 06:35 AM

Well I took the plunge last night and reverted my system back from SP1. Uninstalled the drivers and software and then reinstalled them with no SP1 installed. And still no WinDVR working. :
[ranrt]
I do think however anyone who is having issues with the winDVR software and XP SP1 should send MSI tech support an email because I think it is unlikely they have the time to surf the forum for complaints. So if we want to get anything done about the SP1 issues, we're going to need to send them emails. But please send professional civil emails, if they get bombarded with angry swearing emails I think they're not going to be in a real big hurry to fix things.

Are we getting new drivers anytime so

The latest audigy update is:
Audigy Web Update - Audigy Drivers (3.50 MB) 9 Nov 03
and the driver patch:
EAX 4.0 ADVANCED HD Driver Patch Update for Sound Blaster Audigy (6.44 MB) 29 Mar 04
Can we please get a new set of drivers with the next two months?

I imagine that the coders doing drivers for Creative are quite busy with the newest modellines, so unless there is actually a problem with interaction between a driver and a specific OS I don't think you should expect new drivers anytime soon.

New drivers for pc cam 850

Hellu there:
Are there any new drivers? I am using the one that came with the cd-rom. that says...2320.
A search of the Creative website does not show anything for the PC CAm 850, under PRoduct, OR sUPPORT.
Anybody can point me in the rigth direction?
TIA

any luck with your PC-CAM 300? I agree with you, this s a great little web cam, I dont understand why Creative doesnt provide a drive for it.
Let me know if you had any chance getting it to work.

Over a year with no new drivers, what now creative

Do we buy the next great sound card and throw away our $300.00+ old card. Or do you get off your colecti've asses and make this card work the way it supposed to I read that your in?bad for money, gee that's a suprise. The way you treat your customers it's a wonder your not bankrupt. Well this will the LAST sound card I ever buy from you guys unless I see some support & concern from you. You can't even get the card working right in vista and I guess xp (which a lot of people still use, myself included) is just a fond memoryMessage Edited by gunslinger on 0-28-20070:02 AM

Except your logic is flawed.
They have released drivers. And for the most part, the drivers work. It's been evidenced by Daniel K's Audigy driver pack.
Why would they need to release drivers everyday when the drivers they have published are working? Your defense of not buying a Mercedes without an engine is flawed given that the drivers work. If you were to apply proper logic to that sort of analogy, it would be closer to you asking me... say... you wouldn't buy a Mercedes without a jet engine would you?
And the answer is I would. Because I don't need a jet engine. Just like you don't really need new drivers everyday. You're expecting constant driver releases for a product that's over 3 years old.
Why don't you complain to nVidia or ATi with their unified driver packs? The best working drivers for their 3+ year old drivers are over a year old as well.
If you want a very specific feature, tough. Creative's job isn't to pander to every little request just because you spam the forums requesting it. It doesn't make it popular or the desire of the majority. Nor do you know whether or not your request would break every other feature. As Creative hasn't blocked it and has allowed driver modification, even allowing the links posted on their own forums, if you feel you really need a jet engine for your Mercedes that badly, you could just modify it yourself.Message Edited by keLston on 0-29-200708:2 PM

Install new drivers uninstall or just install over the old ones

do i have to uninstall my old mobo drivers before installing the new one's? or just install over them??

Quote from: Supershanks on 29-December-05, 04:31:38
It's safer to just install the new ones over the old with mobo drivers. It's graphics drivers particularly if changing between ati/Nvidia that sometimes require removal b4 installing new ones.
luck
Yeah, I just overwrite the mobo drivers with new ones as they usually only differ in small details.
For Vid Card drivers I like to use Driver Cleaner (Google for it - It's free & it will get rid of Mobo & Sound Card drivers too, if you wish) to root out all traces of a previous driver set before installing new ones. Unlike mobo drivers, different versions can vary greatly in content... if some of the old code is left over, it may not allow the new drivers to work properly.

Are there new drivers for the alcatel netstick for 10.8?

Cant seem to be abel to use my netstick after I upgraded to osx mountain lion, it worked great before so figured I need new drivers, any help is welcome =]

1212M Crackling/Popping - New Drivers

I'm kind of cranky about this problem. Read on because I actually know exactly what the problem is (at least for most of us and only Creative/EMU can fix it).
Background
I have a 1212M with the 0404 I/O card. It's a V1 that have had for five or six years. The quality of the sound is great, the features are great and the price is great. There's just one problem. From the day I got the board all those years ago I've had the crackling/popping problem that many, many other users also have.
The problem is not my motherboard, BIOS, other hardware, Windows or other applications. Over the years this EMU board has been in many different systems, many different configurations and the evolution from WinXP, Vista and now to Win7. The crackling problem has always been exactly the same. The problem is the board itself, not the system and not the configuration and I can prove it (read on).
Another thing that frustrates me is all the time that so many users have spent trying to troubleshoot this issue that is completely wasted since, for some of us, the problem is in the EMU hardware/drivers. That's not to say that there aren't some other crackling problems that are related to the system speed, interfering hardware or interfering software. There are actually two different problems that both have the same crackling symptom which makes all this quite confusing. I'll call them "System Related" and "EMU Hardware/Driver Related". If you're having the crackling symptom you should figure out which type of problem you have before spending hours troubleshooting, reinstalling, etc, etc, etc. Here's how:
If your crackling problem:
- Doesn't happen on startup. Your audio is fine and the problem only develops after a while. On my system it's between 60 and 90 minutes and resetting the card.
- Starts with a few minor crackle/pops per second and gradually gets progressively worse over several minutes with nothing else changing in the system (ie not running new software or changing anything).
- After a while (can be a long while) the crackling can actually go away again and you have clean audio. Then the crackling returns. Once again with no changes in system load in between.
- You can make the crackling go away instantly and every time by simply resetting the clock on the card. There are several ways to do this. In Patchmix go to the System tab under Session Settings and switch the clock between internal/external (whatever you have it on, go to the other and back again). Another way is the change the ASIO Buffer Latency milliseconds in your host software's ASIO control panel.
If those four things are all true for you then you have the "EMU Hardware/Driver Related" type of crackling problem. Do not waste any time with all the well-meaning but misguided troubleshooting ideas posted on this and other forums. None of it will help.
If these four things aren't true on your system then by all means you should try all the troubleshooting steps because it's likely that you can resolve your crackling problem.
Here is what is happening with the "EMU Hardware/Driver Related" type of crackling problem. First, let me say that I know what the root of the problem is because I used to work for a company that developed high-end professional video/audio software for Windows PCs. We encountered this exact same problem when some our users started reporting it. It wasn't solely with Creative or EMU hardware because the problem can actually happen on a variety of PC audio cards where the hardware is slightly out of spec or malfunctioning and the software driver is not capable of correcting the problem.
Our most senior software engineers banged their heads against this problem for quite a while until they determined what was going wrong in our customer's PC audio hardware. The issue is that the clock on the card is drifting slightly which means it is going a little faster or slower than the current sample rate. That's why the problem only manifests after a while. It's also why the crackling goes away when you reset the clock. The fundamental issue is that the audio data coming from your PC is being written into a buffer. The data is written by the PC driver and read from the buffer by the card and then sent to the card's output. You can think of the buffer as a big circle of memory. There's a write pointer that writes one value of data and then increments one step and "180 degrees" opposite in the circle of memory is a read pointer that reads one value of data and then increments one step.
These two pointers never move at exactly the same speed. They are constantly slowing down or speeding up a little bit but over time on average they end up advancing at about the same rate. The problem is that when the clock on the card is drifting, the read pointer and write pointer will eventually cross over. That's why the this kind of crackling problem manifests only after a while because, depending on the drifting, it takes a while for the pointers to cross. It's also why the crackling is subtle at first and then gets progressively worse over time. Right when the pointers are overlapping the timing is still close. As one pointer starts to "lap" the other point more and more the crackling artifact gets progressively worse. That's also why the problem usually goes away again if you wait long enough. The pointers can actually get back in phase again for a short while! That's how I know exactly what the current problem is the 1212M board because it manifests with these precise characteristics. The old problem my former companies user's had even sounded exactly the same as the crackling my EMU 1212M has.
Once we understood the problem, in our next version we modified our software to use a larger buffer. This eliminated the problem for some of our customers whose hardware clock was only very slightly out spec. However, for other customers the problem remained, although by increasing the buffer size it made it take longer for the pointers to reach each other and the crackling to begin. This is the what I suspect EMU has done with the new Win7 beta drivers. With the new drivers my crackling takes longer to appear. In these forums we see reports from some long-time sufferers of the problem that the new driver fixed their problem and from others we hear that they are still having the problem.
Since we still had unhappy users of our video/audio application software, we kept working on the issue and eventually came up with a fix that solved the problem for all users and all audio hardware. It was hard to implement but this is what EMU/Creative needs to have their driver engineers do to actually fix the problem (short of replacing an enormous amount of hardware).
The problem can be solved in the driver (yes, my old company actually embedded our own low level generic driver in our application software). Since EMU/Creative is making their driver themselves they can just implement this fix there. The secret is for the driver to actually keep track of where the write and read pointers are and each time they get too close to each other it stretches or shrinks the next packet of data by averaging the audio samples in that packet to the exact size needed to put the pointers 180 degrees apart again. It then resets the pointers as it writes that new data. The data shrink or stretch prevents a single pop or click from happening when the pointers are reset to their correct positions. Frankly, this was hard to implement but it worked perfectly. We actually hired a consultant to figure this audio problem out who was a former Microsoft engineer who wrote the WDM kernal mode drivers.
EMU SUPPORT please let your product manager know that this is what is going on and that he should ask your contract driver engineers to implement this type of solution. Yes, it will cost more in development time (and hence $$$), but it will fix the issue once and for all and not just for this card. You can re-use the code in other drivers.
If you need specific help, I'll even connect you with the engineers that did it for a more detailed explanation (we sold our company years ago and the team has split up but I'm still in contact with most of them).

Markran,
Thank you for the information. I will make sure that it gets routed to the correct people.

New drivers won't work for X-Fi Xtreme Gamer

I use Windows XP SP 2 with my X-Fi Xtreme Gamer.
I used the Device Manager to uninstall my old drivers (v2.5.0006), rebooted, cancelled the Windows new-hardware popup, and installed the new drivers (v2.5.0008). I had no sound immediately after the installation, though I think I should have heard mouse-clicking sounds and sounds that accompany opening and closing windows from my desktop and Windows Explorer. After restarting after the installation, I still had no sound.
To restore sound, I uninstalled the new drivers and reinstalled the old ones.

I have solved my own problem. The trouble was that using the Device Manager to uninstall my old drivers did not work. Apparently a file that needed to be deleted was not deleted, and that file prevented the new drivers from working. I finally got the new drivers to work by using the following procedure, which except from some notes I have inserted, was obtained by email from Creative support:
1. Go to Control Panel, Add Remove Programs and un-install all listings related to your audio card. Do not restart your computer when prompted so.
2. Go to Control Panel, and switch to Classic View. Click System, Hardware tab, Device Manager button and delete all sound cards entries in Sound, Video and Game Controllers as well as any previous sound card entries from the Device Manager. ?Note: Personally, to get to Device Manager, I don?t follow these directions. I do this: click the Windows Start button + E, look to the left and right-click My Computer, click Properties, click Hardware tab, click Device Manager.
3. Reboot the computer and cancel out of any driver installation if you are prompted. Insert the Creative Sound Blaster installation CD into your CD-ROM dri've. Exit from the installation wizard if it autoruns.
4. Click Start, Run and then Browse. Browse to Z:\Audio\Drivers\CTZAPXX.EXE, where Z represents the CD Rom Dri've. Choose YES if you receive a prompt "Overwrite existing shared creative audio driver files?" NOTE: This CTZAPXX.EXE file could not be found on my X-Fi Xtreme installation disk by using the Z:\Audio\Drivers\CTZAPXX.EXE path. I had do use the Windows Search engine to do a search on my X-Fi Xtreme installation disk. After finding it, I highlighted the CTZAPXX.EXE program, opened it, and continued with these driver-uninstallation instructions. This seems to be a critical step. If your installation disk doesn't have this file, or if you don't have an installation disk, I suggest doing a Web search for CTZAPXX.EXE. It's a Creative Update Utility, so I don't think it will harm your computer. But I use Windows XP, and I don't know anything about Vista.
5. Select Driver un-installation for WDM drivers and click OK.
6. When prompted to restart, say No.
7. Click Start, Run, type MSCONFIG and press Enter.
8. Check the box next to Selecti've Startup and deselect Load Startup Items.
9. Select the SERVICES tab and select Hide All Microsoft Services.
10. Uncheck all results and click OK.
1. Browse to the C:\Temp folder and C:\Windows\TEMP (if it exists) - all files and folders in the temp folder need to be either deleted or moved to a new folder. ?NOTE: I had to go to my C:\Windows\TEMP file to do this step. Also, I took care to copy and paste all of these TEMP files to a new folder before I tried deleting them. Then I deleted all the Windows\TEMP files that I could. Some would not delete. Indeed some of these files could not be copy and pasted to the new folder. But that was okay. I just left alone those files I could not copy and delete, and I proceeded to delete all of the other files. The TEMP files that I could not delete did not affect my uninstallation of old sound drivers or the installation of new sound drivers.
2. Browse to Program Files, Creative and delete the Sound Blaster Folder - if you get a file that won't delete, right click on the file, click Properties and clear all the attributes. The file should then be able to be deleted.
3. Empty the Recycle Bin, and reboot the computer.
4. If you wish to install your new sound drivers, do so now. Otherwise, go to the next step. If you do install you new drivers?which I would do?don?t restart after the installation. Do the next two steps first.
5. Click on Start, Run. Type MSCONFIG and press Enter.
6. Select Normal Startup, and press the OK button.
7. Reboot the computer
8. At this point I copy-pasted all those Windows\TEMP files from my new folder back to their proper place in Windows\TEMP. Then I deleted the new folder. While restoring these TEMP files to the Windows\TEMP file, I got a couple of messages telling me these files already existed. I clicked No. That is, I did NOT replace or overwrite any existing files in the Windows\TEMP folder.
9. The new sound drivers should now be working.

No sound since I installed new drivers

I installed some newer drivers on my Li've! 24 bit sound card. Now I've lost all sound, I tried rolling back the drivers, still no sound. So I've downloaded the drivers 4 separate times now, still no sound. These are the drivers I installed.

So what do I do now? Can I uninstall the drivers? I'm worried if I do that will cause an error of some type, but frankly that's about all I can think to do. Should I try it, or try something else.
HELP!!!

Have you checked if there is some setting left ON (digital playback, muted channel(s), etc.) after installation?
Also,
- did you got some errer messages while installing?
- try re-install the update by running the ctzapxx.exe --> see the installer settings from -->

New drivers made programs show chinese charact

Ok I'm getting kinda pissed here, I installed new drivers for my SB X-Fi Xtreme Music and, well, after the update was done, every textline in the default windows volume control is in chinese, and all the Creative related software is also in chinese, another problem was that my Creative Console Launcher was uninstalled, and even if I try to reinstall my default drivers with the CD that came along with my soundcard, I can't get rid of those **bleep** chinese characters..
Am I going to have to format my whole PC to get this **bleep** thing working properly or what? :S
I'm starting to think not even that will solve this problem.. >.<

What can I do?, how can I remove the drivers if the system crashes half way through?
I think you may have downloaded the wrong driver. I did a search online and found many sites that say that the Dell XPS 8300 comes with X-Fi Titanium. You may have downloaded the X-Fi Xtreme driver. You may want to try downloading the X-Fi Titanium driver.
Here is a link on Creative's support site for the latest X-Fi Titanium driver.

Any thoughts on this?

Make sure speakers are set to 5. if that's what you're using. I like to Synchronize with Windows Control Panel. Turn EAX to No effects, and/or turn effects to 0%. On the CMSS 3D Tab, turn the Mode to OFF.

New Drivers B

Hi all, i just installed the new drivers, and it seems to works well until they had gave me a BSOD watching a video in the ha20x2k.sys, wich is a driver file from creative. anyone with the same problem ? I?ll try more, maybe is just and exception.
greetings.
My System:
Mobo: Asus A8N-SLI
2 Gb OCZ
2x7800 GTX SLi
X-FI XtremeGamer

Yes the 2_09_000 are very buggy. I havent had any BSOD yet, but i get lots of freezes in games which end up in me having to hardboot my pc, and we all know how good&fun that is.. You dont have to install the drivers like :Cd drivers, 2:2_07_0004 3: 2_09_000. You can install the 2_09_000 directly without the older ones installed first.. I suggest you try out the Vista 2_0_0000 drivers. I have them installed, and they work much better than 2_09 drivers. Only bug with the vista driver is that when you change mode, the mixer changes the settings.. But that isnt so bad actually, rather that, than bsod?s and freezes and so on.
