Beta drivers for Audigy2

Well, the title says what I'm looking for, but here's my problem:
I had installed Quake4, and was playing fine. After I had finished the game, I went to update my drivers (finally,) and noticed that I was running my NX on generic windows drivers. I updated all the drivers, mediasource, etc... (along with some other housekeeping updates,) and I now can no longer open the game.
I've already eliminated the video card update as the problem, and I honestly don't know of a way to eliminate a bios update issue, however, I HIGHLY doubt that is the culprit. After some discussions in the quake disc. boards, I sence that there is a problem with the creative drivers. I have been told that most people are getting success by using the latest beta drivers, and I was linked to a file called "SBA2_PCDrvBeta_LB_2_08_0002.exe" However, when I try to run that file, I'm told that "Setup is unable to detect a supported device on your system..." As the title says Audigy2/ZS, Audigy 4, I'm thinking these are the wrong beta drivers for my device, but I can't find beta drivers for the Audigy2 NX USB
Help? Thanks...

I have tried re-installing, that isn't working. I'm also hearing that people are having success when installing the OpenAL libs....
I've been trying to get this file: http://developer.creative.com/articl...&top=38&aid=46 however, whenever I try to d/l the file I time-out to a "page unavail." error... Is there some server error at creative? ...or, does anyone know of a mirror server?
The file I'm looking for is: OpenALwEAX.exe

New BETA drivers for TV@nywhere Master

there was a thread somewhere before where someone had found some updated BETA drivers for the MSI TV@nywhere Master card but it seems to have gone now
i've been using them for a while now, and they're very stable, and the picture quality has improved somewhat
they say they are for the Master version of the card, but i think they may work on the Mega PC version, the only difference is the Master has a AM/FM tuner as well
anyone having stability probs in media center III or MSIPVS might want to try them out and see what happens...
i've uploaded them to my webspace, and you can find them here in ZIP format: http://www.ukshazam.com/downloads/8606Master_drv.zip
please note these are BETA drivers and as such MSI won't support them (as if they do anyway
i'll also post this in the Mega PC forum

As I recall when this BETA driver started flying around the forum, they WERE NOT official or unofficial MSI drivers. They were modified by a user from another forum and someone from this forum posted a link to them. THESE ARE IN NO WAY RELATED TO MSI DIRECTLY!! Someone reversed engineered the driver and probly thru extensive testing, via trial and error, was able to clean up the driver to give the result that most have had with them. This doesn't mean that everyone is going to have the same result, which is and has been the reality with any add-on card produced since PC's came out...compatibility issues DO still exist out there and not all systems are going to play in the sandbox well with all add-on cards that are manufactured...something to keep in mind when purchasing new systems...
Furthermore, it's been my experience that proprietary systems (The Pac-10 as I call them...IBM, Dell, Gateway, HP, Compaq, Sony, eMachine, etc...) have more issues than White Box systems when it comes to add-on compatibility. If you don't know this already, most of these companies DO NOT want you to purchase off the shelf items from Best Buy, CompUSA, etc...they want you to have to come back to them for upgrades and add-on devices, at higher than retail prices, and that's where they make the most profit. Sad reality, but true. Case in point: My first retail purchased PC was a Dell XPS Pentium 100, (my prior PC's were purchased from Michael Dell's garage) I wanted to upgrade it to a 4X CDROM drive and Dell had failed to include the snap in side rails for their new innovative case that was tool-less. So I called up Dell support and asked if these rails were available. The CS Rep told me that they were so I asked how much. She asked me if I had bought the upgraded device from Dell and I said no. Then she informed me that they wouldn't sell them to me ($6.00 US) because I hadn't purchased the upgrade device from them. Needless to say I was pissed. This was circa 1995-96.
Anyway, over the years of doing network consulting, I can't tell you the countless times that I've heard this type of thing on the phone from many of the above listed companies...yes, most have gotten better over the years (Like Dell including all of the rails needed inside the case nowadays) but overall they still have the same mindset and it's much more subtle when they design a motherboard that won't play in the sandbox well with retail bought components...*shrugs*
I got tired of playing their game after a while and started building my own systems. I found White Box isn't always better either but for the most part it's been a far cry easier than buying proprietary...
Just my 2 cents here for what it's worth...

How to uninstall beta drivers for xfi xtreme mu

Hi everybody (xcuse my bad english)?Like many people who have crackling pb with the xfi xtreme, i've installed the beta drivers. But in 2 days, these drivers will be out of date. And i don't know how to uninstall them, i cannot find any creative drivers when i go into the set up programcan u help me please?

Hello LA,
The window that I have is different from the one you posted. Please see attached for mine. When I clicked on REMOVE, a message popped up and disappeared within a couple seconds. And the message is as following: "The installer is verifying the installation, please do not reboot while this dialog is being display." This same message popped up every time REMOVE is clicked but I have no luck on removing MAX.
This test PC is for legacy testing and it was with Windows 98 and have an ISA DAQ card installed that requires DAQ driver 6.9.3. Can upgrading the test PC to Windows 2000 corrupt the installation?
Looking forward for your advice. Thank you.

BETA Drivers for SB X-FI

Hi, has anyone tried theses BETA drivers from creative web site LINK TO BETA DRIVERS Thanks BTW ...

The announcement reads:
For now, we recommend to not use these beta drivers when you have more than 2GB of System Memory. We will be releasing a new driver shortly that resolves this issue.
So, these are not an option for me.

Vista Beta Drivers for the Modem Blaster V.92 Serial DE5

I was wondering if there are any beta drivers available for the Modem Blaster V.92 Serial DE562? Thank You, Mike...

Holly cow... a v.92 modem! Christ that's from like, the 90's! You an old timer/ludite by any chance
You could probably get broadband for less.
Regardless, i very much doubt you'll ever find drivers for this piece of kit.
I think it's amazing creative have stated they'll develop Vista drivers for such old hardware.
If you're using the x86 (32bit) version of Vista then the Win XP drivers might work.
If, however, you're using x64 (64bit) you're stuffed. On top of that if you take a look at the manual selection bit down the bottom f the page on the left, you'll see Vista's just not a selectable option.
But it REALLY is time for you to jump on the broadband train man! Low end connections are so cheap and still would be a gazillion times faster than what you're currently using.

Are new beta drivers for XP and Xfi fatal1ty any go

Can you share your feelings about the new xfi beta drivers with a fatalty card? I've experienced they are better in terms of stability, but find that games are almost now missing sounds. Weird I know, but it's almost like I am not getting full 32 voice capability. The current drivers Creative offers are ok, but I find that any problems I have had with my system lately always come down to a Xfi driver component.
Anyhow, appreciate your experiences with them...

Well for me I managed to stop it from reverting back to 2. in the Creative Volume Panel by unchecking Syncronize with Control Panel option.
Seems that the problem with what you were mentioning is related to Sounds and Audio Devices, when I did have Creatives Volume Panel Syncronised with Control Panel, when I was playing certian games, it would end up reverting to 2. (which I found annoying) but since I did the above I have had no more issues since

Beta drivers for Battlefield Bad Company 2 and fixed cracking sound

Hi! Can anyone tell - Is there a new beta driver - newer then 2.8.003.
Creative can you make newer drivers with BFBC2 support. The sound in this game is amazing. Cheers

I guess that isn't the problem with X-Fi. That's the game itself. Not only people who have X-Fies are crashing. My friend has onboard Realtek codec and he experienced that problem. You can also check the BFBC2 forums to see what I'm talking about. So stop screwing your driver settings and system. Wait for proper patch. Meantime I've got a solution which helped me so you can also try it. The idea is to forbid the game from running on all four CPU cores. Dunno about 2 core processors. I think the performance hit will be very serious if the game will be running on a single core.
1. Launch BFBC2Game.exe from game's directory (not the?BFBC2Updater.exe, as usual). Wait till you get into main menu (skip intros etc).
2. Press ALT+ENTER to go to window mode (if you're going to alt+tab, get ready for pain in the @$$ cause the game will try to bring back its window after every switching of window's focus).
3. Launch Task Manager, navigate to "Processes" tab and find BFBC2Game.exe in the list.
4. Right click it and choose "Set Affinity...". Uncheck one of the cores (I usually disable CPU 3). Press ok.
5. Close the Task Manager, switch to game's window and press ALT+ENTER to go fullscreen again.
6. Log-in, connect to a server and try playing.
Hope it'll help. though I'm not giving any promises

Better drivers for the GMA X3100

Hello, i heard that the GMA X3100 is 2x faster than the GMA 950 on Windows.
Now on OS X it is even slower than the GMA 950 in OpenGL.
It must be a very bad driver.
Do anyone of you know how to install a good video card driver on 10.5.6 or to enhance it?
Thank you for answers.

Is Apple still developing that drivers?

Live! Cam Voice BETA Drivers and Widows Vista

I have just installed the BETA drivers for Live! Cam Voice and everything seems to have worked except that there appears to be a conflict with Microsoft Genuine Advantage and I am told that "There is a problem with your licence so notifications will no longer appear". The Error is 0xC004D40 described as "The security processor reported a system file mismatch error. I am asked to validate the product online. Validation takes me to Micorosft Genuine Advantage (a misnomer if ever there was one) where I am told that the "copy of Windows did not pass genuine validation. Either an unauthorised change was made to Windows files or a software preogram installed on this computer is not currently compatible with Windows Vista". That would not matter too much if as a by-product. I had not been prevented from updating my installation of Windows Vista, but I was and the only way round that was to start my computer with no programs running and update in such almost clean state. Thus I counsel everyone seeking to use the BETA drivers for Live! Cam Voice to be aware of the problems that they might encounter.

There's been an update for OSX ML which addresses the issue for installing Windows 8 on bootcamp.
It's NOT recommended that you Upgrade.. However, the way to get the drivers is:
You'll need an external USB drive formatted as FAT for this.
1) In OSX, start the Bootcamp Assistant
2) Press Next
3) UNTICK 'Remove WIndows 7 or Later Version'
4) TICK Download the Latest Windows Support Software from Apple
5) Insert USB drive
6) Press CONTINUE
The drivers should download, and copy a WIndowsSupport folder onto the USB drive.
I did notice that Windows 8 still requires beta drivers for some aspects such as VGA (the Radio HD Card), which you can get on the AMD website.
Futhermore, why are you using Windows 8 "32" bit when you blatently have a powerful 64bit?
Anyway, hope this post helps ;-)

2012 iMac with gtx680mx want beta drivers?

I just got my new iMac i7 with the gtx680mx video card. I know there is beta drivers out for he card that improve it a little bit. Where can I download them. Thx a lot

On OS X, Apple provides the driver updates and drivers are updated with OS X updates, so you can't install any beta driver for OS X.
However, NVIDIA releases beta drivers for their graphics on Windows, but not OS X

No it does not, as long as you do as follows: (Instructions are copied over from my previous posts on the subject)
How to manually change the Windows HAL:
Use the following command: "expand d:\i386\halacpi.dl_ c:\windows\system32\hal.dll"
Whereas: d: is your CD-ROM letter, or where you Windows XP Installation resides.
halacpi.dl_ can be any of the following depending on what you want to install:
"Standard PC", Non-ACPI PIC HAL (Hal.dll)</LI>
"MPS Uniprocessor PC", Non-ACPI APIC UP HAL (Halapic.dl_)</LI>
"MPS Multiprocessor PC", Non-ACPI APIC MP HAL (Halm
ps.
dl_)</LI>
"Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) PC", ACPI PIC HAL (Halacpi.dl_)</LI>
"ACPI Uniprocessor PC", ACPI APIC UP HAL (Halaacpi.dl_)</LI>
"ACPI Multiprocessor PC", ACPI APIC MP HAL (Halmacpi.dl_)
</LI>
Offcourse, the HAL you should change to is Standard PC. You will lose Dual Core or HT support in the process, but I strongly believe it can help. As per above, you can switch back to your previous HAL without reinstalling. You will be most prolably asked for the drivers of your devices, but on my setup, it didn't, as they were already stored in Windows' System Folders.
