New Audigy ZS drivers are ready, why the wait for them thou

I am sure just about everyone knows this but at the US Creative site you can D/L the latest X-FI driver set.
Now if you open them up with winrar there it is, the Audigy 2 ZS driver set ready to use. You can change a few exe files to get them to load for your Audigy cards. They are abviously ready then.
A freind who I was chatting with via IRc did extract and install the ZS drivers ( though now his media source fails to fuction properly as he messed it up due to over excitment. LOL ) but he states that BF2 runs 00% better. No where near as much stutter, sounds is cleaner and sharper and EAX seems to be a little bit more louder/clearer ( Note: EAX does indeed work with Audigy 2 ZS cards but it is set very low for some reason that has me baffeled as to why, proberly to try and sell more X-FI cards, who the hell knows ) plus all other games have a much cleaner, richer sound.
So it seems that Creative have indeed created a killer set of Audigy drivers ( TOP JOB FROM MY SOURCE ) but why no release yet ? I am sure you know they are fine and tested them yourself.
Anyway, I do have the deepest respect for the Creative team and dont mean to be pushy but PLEASE release these killer drivers ASAP.
Like my freind said, ( although he stuffed something up with media source )
"They ROCK and BF2 is a new game because of them".

How cool is that hey, awesome. man i have to get offline and install them NOW!
Be back later on with input.

All apps work perfectly.
BF2 sound is better, infact I can hear more going on than I could before so I would say 00% improvement, and less stutter.
Creative you have made my day.
Me happy.

  • Why won't my apple tv sync with my new macbook pro, they are both on the same wifi signal

    why won't my apple tv sync with my new macbook pro, they are both on the same wifi signal.

    Not sure of what? In your second response you said the issue was with airplay. You were also having issues connecting laptop to computer, which points to a laptop connectivity issue. I simply asked if home sharing was an issue as well, since that will confirm the laptop as the cause. Your response that home sharing is on doesn't really help since that doesn't itself have a bearing on airplay nor does it answer the question in regards to if home sharing is working on Apple TV
    If you have a further question you will need to be specific.

  • New Audigy Beta Drivers did they add EAX 4.0 to an Audigy 1 Platinum

    Hello,
    does the new Audigy Beta Drivers add EAX 4.0 Support to an Audigy Platinum ?
    Greetings Picard007

    Audigy (hardware base one) supports EAX3 (EAX Advanced HD) hardware. Audigy2 suports EAX4 hardware. EAX4 is supported with latest OpenAL drivers on compatible hardware.
    More: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environ...dio_extensions
    Quote:
    EAX has nothing to do with actual 3D audio positioning. Positioning is done by Microsoft's DirectSound3D API. An alternati've to DirectSound3D, called Open Audio Library (OpenAL), surfaced in 2003 in several titles. OpenAL allows direct hardware acceleration of audio, like DirectSound, including EAX. As of 2006, the API has been used in many popular titles including Doom 3 and Prey. These games support EAX 4.0 if audio hardware with an OpenAL-supporting driver is present.
    Most releases of EAX versions coincide with increases in the number of simultaneous voices processible in hardware by the audio processor: the original EAX .0 supports 8 voices, EAX 2.0 allows 32 (Li've!), EAX Advanced HD (EAX 3.0) supports 64 (Audigy), EAX 4.0 again supports 64 (Audigy 2), and EAX 5.0 allows 28 voices (and up to 4 effects applied to each) (X-Fi).

  • I have an ipod touch 4th generation and have just recently downloaded the new update. I was wondering why the videos that I had added in my playlist won't show up.

    I have an ipod touch 4th generation and have just recently downloaded the new update. I was wondering why the videos that I had added in my playlist won't show up. Is there anyway that I could get my videos to appear in my playlist? They are still in my ipod in the video section, but just won't appear in my playlist.

    iOS6 problems aplenty ....not sure if the link I inserted is working or not, but the issue is a lot more prevalent - the issue being that what shows up & plays in iTunes after the iOS6 update is not what shows up (& plays) on the device itself. This may go beyond just the iPod Touch as well.
    In my case I can see & play both audio & video files in my Playlist through iTunes, but can only see the Playlists on the iPod Touch with ALL of them being empty. Syncing numerous times no help. Contacting Apple Tech. Support no help - they suggested downloading my Purchases from the iTunes Store - waste of time, did not make a difference. It is clear Apple needs to release a fix to OS6.
    Another problem I noticed on the device is that the Shuffle option is hidden on the built-in Songs Playlist, having to swipe the screen down to see it - dumb dumb dumb.

  • I have a Canon 6D and the new Panasonic GH4 both are not in the list of supported cameras! What can I do?

    I have a Canon 6D and the new Panasonic GH4 both are not in the supported list of cameras in Finalcut Pro 10 ! What can I do???

    Plenty of cameras don't make the list for various reasons but work fine,
    If you have the cameras but not the application, downliad the trial version and see how it goes.
    If you have both the cameras and the app already, do some test projects to see.

    I have lost my audiobooks that I purchases on my old phone. I have gotten a new phone and they are not in the iTunes downloads. Please help.

    Audiobooks are currently a one-time only download - have you not got them on your computer and/or on a backup ? If not then you can try contacting Apple, but they are under no obligation to let you re-download them : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/

  • When i create a new photo album photos are not in the good sequence

    when i create a new photo album photos are not in the good sequence

    Add the photos from your disc to iPhoto, then drag them from the iPhoto Event or photos to the Album.
    You can delete photos from the Album without removing them from the computer.  If you delete them in the Photos or Events area, they are removed from iPhoto, therefore taking them out of the Album.
    The photos have to be in iPhoto to exist in an Album.  They cannot exist in an Album and not be in iPhoto..
    Hope that helps...

  • Touch 2g cases, why the wait?

    Can someone please explain why cases for the new models are not released in conjunction with their launch dates? I can't even get a straight answer from anyone in a retail store as to when they'll be available. Is it some kind of logistics issue or just apple having control issues regarding third party firms and their products? I understand it was my choice to buy a new touch close to the release date but apple could have at least provided a temp case till something arrived.

    Product secrecy surrounding the new iPod is why you can't find many cases yet. Plus, the ipod touch is a small market when you can get the phone for the same price.
    Vaja is a fabulous case manufacturer and they'll inform you when the 2G cases are ready to order. Check them out. They're the Ferarri or Coach of gadget cases:

  • I recently removed an outlook account and now all of my calendar events are missing. The majority of them were added from my iphone 4s. How do I retrieve the events? Backing up with iCloud did not help, as I assumed it would.

    I recently removed an outlook account and now all of my calendar events are missing. The majority of them were added from my iphone 4s. How do I retrieve the events? Backing up with iCloud did not help, as I assumed it would.

    Outlook is a mail client for PC's (and Macs). It is not a type of account. Do you mean an "Exchange Account"?
    If so, then re-add it. The calendar events live on the Exchange Server. The only way to get them back is to re-add the account to the phone. The contents of Exchange and IMAP accounts are not part of the 'backup' as they already exist elsewhere.

    I am looking for information on iPad and iPhone apps and Mac software that are "top of the line" for academic research. The most current and comprehensive information I have found is dated July 2010.

    PogoPossum,
    My area of interest is in business and economic history. There is a considerable amount of reading and charting. Until the iPad hit the streets, I only considered stacks of books, journals, and downloaded documents, all marked up with highlighters, underlines, and marginal notes.
    Most of my PC based work involved MS Office, Endnote, and MS OneNote.
    What I would like to do with the iPad and MacBook are the same things (Office, Endnote, OneNote) and add the ability to read and markup all forms of printed materials from books to pdf to webpages.
    I cut my teeth on an iPod Touch and have tried a lot of the note taking and reading apps. Without a camera the standard iPod Notes works for short quick notes and long think pieces. I just emailed the content and downloaded the stuff to my PC. Obviously, I do not want to continue at this "non-integrated" level of work.
    Does this help?
    Dick
