Wishlist for the next X-Fi Audio Dri

Question

Post here what you wish to see....maybe we can flip the coin
- Standalone Driver only for X-Fi Products
- Possibility to install per inf -File (no need for setup or coinstaller)
- maybe modular Setup
- Driver not bigger than 20MBs unzipped!
- No unneeded tasks/services like cthelper.exe, ctxfihlp.exe
- Small App to control the X-FI Mode like old Audio Console (~2MBs only!)
- Don't to forget EAX/OpenAL Support
- faster ASIO Response +Hz Selector
- monthly update (like Ati's Catalyst)
- Feedback Form (To much Spam in Forum)
- Vista Support

) Add a +0 dB bass boost option for the LFE channel only,?since the current +5 dB bass boost can only be used when bass redirection is switched on. Some of us need the LFE boost, but not the redirection. 2) I don't know if this is a common problem, but when the speaker settings are set to large in the THX console, after restarting the pc,?frequencies below the crossover are removed from the main channels but don't get sent to the sub output; so you lose a load of bass. If this is a bug, it obviously needs to be fixed. 3) Revise the quick launch menu in the system tray. Perhaps add a quick way of changing the EQ, EAX environment?and mode rather than having to open up the console and mode switcher. Something like the menu you get with nvidia drivers that allows you to switch resolutions, antialiasing, etc without opening the display properties. 4) The ability to have different EQ settings for?headphone mode. When switching to headphones, the EQ settings remain the same as the ones used for speakers, but speakers and headphones need very different EQ settings. It can be troublesome having to go to the console and change the settings manually each time headphones are plugged in. This shouldn't be too hard since?different CMSS and Crystalizer settings are?saved for both headphones and speakers, so I would have thought different EQ settings could be?saved too.Message Edited by pjc on 03-03-2006:02 AM
Item ok yeah i agree seems daft not to include the LFE boost?but not to important for me
Item 2 seems to be so true, i have large speakers set in thx console and i lose all my bass on restart, i thought my speakers were going bad tbh.
?Item?3&4 ?would be great too, having to fiddle with the eq settings just because you use headphones at night, at the same time having the mode switch is a waste of time, half the time it causes problems other times its a downright PIA to have to choose a mode for your soundcard each time you start a new app?Its 2006 not 980 we shouldnt have to tell our? pc,s to switch a soundcard into a different mode just because we are going to be playing a game.
