Creative Labs will release new product "X-Fi 2" soon.

X-Fi 2 driver has got Windows Vista certification on 3//08, so the product will be released soon I think, maybe in this April.

Is there any information on the release date for X-Fi 2?
But still the spec is unknown, seems X-Fi 2 will be fully compatible with Vista, have HDMI .3 expansion card, can playback DTS HD, DD Plus, etc. Can hardware decode DD and DTS. Improved CMSS and 24-bit crystaliser. DDL and DTS Connect features there...
Someone got more information about this?

IMHO, if Creative did everything asked of them, nine out of ten posters wouldn't change a bit. I have a larger problem with Vista than I do with Creative. I own an Auzentech Prelude 7., the Creative X-Fi Xtreme Platinum 7. and an Audigy 2 ZS. I got no SCP, my stuff works and works well. Just because my $#it works, hell I don't have anywhere to post LOL!? My biggest gripe is that Auzen removed the THX console, no calibration or bass redirection for entertainment mode

When are Creative going to release NEW Audigy 2 ZS drivers? (CAT/ADMINS plz read last pos

Hi
First and foremost I would like to emphasise this post is by no means a flame against the hardworking staff at Creative Labs, but more of a curious question.
I am a relati'vely happy owner of an Audigy 2 ZS Platinum PRO. Apart from a few niggling teething problems which were sorted out extremely well by Technical Support (they even shipped me a newer revision of the driver installation CD free of charge) I have had no problems!!!
HOWEVER, Doom3 version .3 added OpenAL and EAX 4 support, which as you might have guessed is good news for us Audigy2/ZS/4 owners.
Unfortunately to get the best out of Doom3 I had to download BETA drivers, this was not really a problem since they are relati'vely stable, but these drivers do have a few niggling problems.
For Example, the THX Setup console does not remember the speaker position settings. AND Half-Life 2 requires the speakers to be set each time I enter the game.
E.g each time I load Half-Life 2 I have to set the speakers to 7. surround (pre BETA drivers did not have this problem)
It would be nice if somebody from Creative was to either release an updated version of the BETA driver (preferably non-BETA), an updated THX setup console, OR to inform us when a new Driver and applications will arri've.
Not meaning to sound rude, but FOUR MONTHS is rather a long time for a Driver to stay in Beta status.
Thanks for your time

Cat top day to you!
I have a suggestion, or rather proposition that Im sure allot of folks here will agree with. <IMG height=6 src="http://forums.creative.com/i/smilies/6x6_smiley-happy.gif" width=6 border=0>
How about instead of the preview site http://preview.creativelabs.com being used exclusi'vely for releasing beta 64Bit drivers for public testing (which next to nobody uses). How about you (Creative) extend public beta testing to 32Bit drivers and applications for release on the http://preview.creativelabs.com website ?.
Imho it will make the official drivers much more stable and worthwhile for the average user. It is just a thought and suggestion .<IMG height=6 src="http://forums.creative.com/i/smilies/6x6_smiley-happy.gif" width=6 border=0>

That would be fantastic CAT if you could fill us in on driver update. 4mths is a bit much.
I use the beta's ATM jut to test em out and give feed back on how they work.
Still no EAX in BF2, However I get better performance and no more sound drop out, YAH. TOP JOB TEAM !!!!
Seem stable and all console apps work fine.
Though I still get NO eax ( reverb, occlusion ) in the following games.
Soldier of fortune 2
Starwars BattleFront
Call of duty and Call of Duty UO
Painkiller
BattleField Vietnam
GTA SA
UT 2004.
Hmm, thats alot of games that STATE EAX that I dont get it with. Even with other drivers I still get no EAX.
I do get AWESOME EAX in these games though.
Rainbow SIX raven sheild
Theif 2 DS
V8 supercars 2
Colin MCrea rally 4
So my card is fine and working perfectly.
Hope the next set fixes everything up EAX wise.

When Apple will release new Motion 6 ?

Hi all!
About you, when Apple will release the new Motion 6 ? Will it support true 3D like AE ?
Thanks in advance
Best
Domenico

There's no reason to think any tool would be lost ( other than we do lose stuff when apple updates software majorily), but if they did it could be a Smoke 2013 killer. The editing in Smoke is so lame, and many of the ways to build effects are excruciatingly tedious. All we need is some 3D import, or at least true 3D text, volumetric lighting, mesh distort tool and er.. well thats enough to begin with, it would blow Smoke out of the window.

E4200V1 - When Cisco Linksys will release new firmware to instead 1.0.003

Dear CISCO - LINKSYS R&D Team,
Could you tell us when will you release the improved firmware for E4200 ver.1 ?
For some examples:
1) WAN-to-LAN throughput improvment (now is less than 50% efficient if using 100Mbps WAN connection at "03" version firmware. I switch back to "01" version to avoid it)
2) Unstable of VPN connect for the WAN L2TP and PPTP protocols
Besides, not really understand why CISCO-LINKSYS does not fix E4200 ver 1 problem and then release E4200 Ver2.......
Seems she does not take her responsibility on her products.........

Generally new software is released when it's ready, not on a specific pre-planned date so all you can really do is wait.

When u will release NEW iOS(5.0.2 or something) ;(

So i use 5.0.1 for a while (iPhone4) when i call someone he can't hear me. it's 5.0.1 bugs? or my phone have a problem?
sory for my bad english.
thanks

If your phone is new - Does your iphone still have the clear plastic film over the front? That will cover the mic and cause your problem.
If not new, then have someone check out your phone. iOS 5.1 has been delivered to developers for testing, so something is coming around the corner.

2 times negative experience with Creative Labs mp3 play

Hey,?I wanted to share my negati've experiences with you on two different Creative Labs mp3 players that I happened to own and suffer from. Before you jump to any fast conclusions or start drawing any parallels note that I loved the sound quality of both 5Gb Zen Micro and 30Gb Zen Vision:M and that I purchased both of them in Ukraine. 5Gb Zen Micro, my first player, was fine until I accidentally dropped it'sfrom about m above the floor. The player was fine and still able to play the music but... the screen was gone. The screen would only light up a few seconds after booting and then go dark and leave you in dark to guess your way through the menu. The sensitivity of the touch pad was way too high even at the lowest level and I often made mistakes with it. But sadly enough there is no support whatsoever in Ukraine. Email support was useless as you can't really have any software solution to the corrupted screen. I had to forget it :-(. Next, I got excited about the 30Gb Zen Vision:M. I was happy to buy a good alternati've to an Ipod but my joy was premature. After very little use of my Zen Vision I once left it unused for about a month. The next thing I noticed was that my battery is dead. The battery would not charge no matter how long I tried to do it! Not even several months passed since I purchased it when the Li-Ion battery went dead. Once again there was no customer support center to go to to fix it and there was no way to return it to the shop either. I had to replace the battery somehow. I am sure many of you saw detailed step-by-step instructions on how to disassemble the Zen Vision and get access to the battery. I bought a replacement battery on Ebay and had the original one replaced only to find out the replacement battery was dead at opening!!! I next ordered another battery on Ebay with a one-year warranty but yet again the battery would not charge. At first it would not charge and then after about 5 hours of charging it would show 00% charge but the player would shut off immediately once I disconnected the AC adapter. I gave up trying to do it myself and there is no local customer service center here. I would send it to the US for repairs but Creative has hidden all service center addresses and puts you through a very long and tedious way of reporting problems with your Zen player. I am very frustrated indeed! I don't wanna buy another Creative player and face the same problems and terrible customer service. I hope someone from Creative Labs will read this and advise the company on how to improve. Creative is losing the battle to Apple believe it or not. Apple is making tons of money on its players with poorer audio quality and fewer features because their customer service is superior. Creative is losing money quarter after quarter because their battery suppliers are not producing consistent-quality batteries, customer service support is non-existent in many countries outside the US and because many popular Creative players come with a user-unfriendly built-in battery!!!

Hey, everyone!
Thanks for your comments. I am in no way shying away from my responsibility in the case of dropping my first Zen. Such things do happen as you know. The point I was trying to make was that there is NO Creative service center over here, neither in Russia or any neighboring country I could go to.
Yes, Apple does have many service centers in Ukraine. So what do you do with the product that you can't repair? It wasn't completely shattered and a replacement of the screen or maybe some chip would fix it.
As for the battery I have to disagree. For a Li-Ion battery one month shouldn't be a problem. Someone asked who makes the batteries for Creative Labs. It's the company called SKC. http://www.skc.co.kr/skhp/en/prod/bat/03.jsp
Once again, maybe changing the battery yourself isn't the best idea but I simply have no other option and you simply don't want to throw away $360.
I still think that Creative should have done a better job selecting the battery supplier and especially setting up service centers locally. A lot of people over here buy Creative Zens and face similar problems. We have nowhere to go for service. I would rather send it in for repairs but Creative does superb job of hiding its technical support email forcing you to go through a web form.
And unfortunately Creative financial performance is only worsening:
http://www.creative.com/corporate/in...gs_Release.pdf
I don't know how much longer they are going to stay in business. I don't like Ipods and all that hype about them but I'd prefer to have better choices and responsi'veness from Creative.

Creative doesn't WANT new drivers.

Alot of people in here and all over the internet are calling creative's driver team bad and incapable of making working drivers. This is utter nonsense.
Creative could probably release perfect fully working drivers withing a few weeks at most, that's assuming they don't already have working drivers backed up somewhere. Creative doesn't want perfect or even acceptable drivers for their current soundcards, so the drivers team's hands are tied. Creative wants to release new sound cards advertising, basically, all the problems are solved and you'll have to buy new sound cards for Vista, Creative isn't the only one doing this but they probably are the only one removing old features, through new drivers, making newer sound cards seem more attracti've without really having anything new.
This isn't the first time Creative has done this. The Audigy 2 and Audigy 4 are basically the same thing, except one costs more because it's drivers allow more features, infact you can get drivers for Audigy 2 cards enabling Audigy 4 features.
They've been doing this driver "scam" for a long time, it's nothing new to them. They've hardly ever seemed to care about providing value to customers.
Also I don't see how removing old features is legal, they can't absolve themselves from everything just by stating it in an EULA, an EULA isn't law and in many countries completely or partially useless due to respecti've laws and constitutional rights. Also anything advertised to work with an opperating system, Vista in this case, and doesn't work with it, is false advertising in any country and is ilegal, contacting your local Advertising Standards Association (or equivalent) and making them aware of this could cause many problems for Creative.
Moaning isn't going to help, where you spend your money and what actions you take will determine the difference.

They don't want new fully working drivers for older cards because then people wouldn't buy newer cards that didn't have crippled drivers. Well, at least until the next time around anyway.
Since Creative's U.S. HQ is based and incorporated in California that means their EULA doesn't mean squat under CA law and governed by that law across the U.S. As for other countries, I don't claim to know, but in the majority of places EULAs are not legal and binding either.
The best way to get fully working drivers for these cards is for someone to disassemble them and document what the code does and why. Then that info can be passed to someone who hasn't seen the disassembled code and create a set of drivers based on the information given. This is called Clean room design. It's completely legal.
The original "clones" of the IBM Personal Computer were created without IBM's participation or approval.

How to add new product in interactive demand planning(IDP)

Hi gurus,
How to add new product in interactive demand planning(IDP), can you suggest me, when i click data view in IDP, it will show new product.
Regards
babu

Hi Raj,
Since the New Product is already in MPOS what you need to do in your Data view is to go to "Selection Window" on the left side of the screen(make sure you dont click on the existing selection ids). Select Product at the top, the planning version will come in the next row and then you again select the Product as charateristic and enter the New product name against the Product(Characteristic) and then save it in case you want it to use for your future references. When you will double cilck on the newly made selection id you will be able to see you product with the keyfigure details in right side.
Please let me know if it works.
Thanks,
Anand.

What Time of Day Does Apple Release a Product?

Hello,
I want to pre-order the Apple Watch on April 10th. I want to order it as early as possible, so I can receive it as soon as possible. My question is if Apple will release the product at 12:00AM on the 10th, or some time later like 6:00AM. From my previous product history, with the iPhone 5S, It was available to buy, (not pre-order), by 7:30 AM. Any ideas?
Thanks!

CREATIVE! When will you RELEASE NEW DRIVERS!!????!!!!

CREATIVE: Comon! Don't you understand, that there are actually a lot of your costumers who have SPENT MONEY on your hardware, but can't make it work right with win7 becauase your drivers are freakin' old!
So can you please tell me/us when you plan to release WORKING drivers? Thanks in advance!
Do you guys even read through the forums? I doubt it very much!
I'm probably not the only one tired of creative acting like a bunch of snails, as far as i've read here in the forum! It's been a year almost since their latest driver release for the x-fi, right? I simply don't understand it!

well, there are various reasons why they will be late releasing new drivers if they ever do.
the most obvious reason is that they simply don't care. they got our money and they're happy with that. they don't care about supporting their products cause their business is going down. their sales from sound cards are declining so they dont care about supporting products that have so much competition.
one other reason is (obviously) that they won't spend their precious time learning how to program drivers on the new OS. they are happy with their "system requirements" not including Windows 7 so they can get on with their li'ves playing pac-man
i can go on for ages but it's going to be the same ole stuff. they will still not pay any attention to what kind of support we need. they are the kings of the world (NOT) and they are happy living in Olympus premises having mortals pleading for their attention.
the only thing they do care is their products having great reviews. 3 months ago amazon and other online stores were full of negati've customer reviews. no, it's 4-5 stars only. all reviews are great from people who.. i don't know, can't hear the bad sound these cards are producing. oh well....
Cheers !!!
Haha so true, so true...
Their inability to provide drivers for Windows 7, if the reason would be that Windows 7 is too narrow market they will bite their own ass, Windows 7 is growing very rapidly. And if a hardware provider cant provide drivers for Windows 7 they surely wont provide them in the future for the OS after Windows 7. So stay away from Creative, they are bad for you.

Creative Labs MP3 product reliability

Since September of 2007 I have purchased three Creative Labs MP3 players. I bought a Zen V Plus, a Zen Micro, and a Zen Mozaic.
The Zen V Plus and the Zen Micro have both stopped working.
The customer support line tells me that repair of these products will be as expensi've as buying a new MP3 player.
With this level of reliabilty, why would I want to buy another Creative Labs MP3 player? It would seem much less expensi've to simply buy another brand of MP3 player, and save my money for buying music downloads.

I do still have the Micro. I even know how to fix it. All I'd have to do is reformat the unit. Unfortunately, to reformat the unit you need to be able to see more that just random lines on the screen; you actually need to be able to read the screen so that you can scroll down to where you can reformat the unit.
So, while I realize that all electronics can have issues, I'm certainly not satisfied with having 2 out of 3 units go belly up, and know that my option is to buy another unit from the same company.
That is simply too expensi've a path to continue.
On the bright side, my daughter is willing to give me her fi've year old IPod, which still works just as advertised.
