Vista x-fi update.

For all you with X-FI card's and Vista and who've spaced over updates of late:-

A new driver has been released for a start. Version 2_15_0002. Get it here

A cd containing full working software for vista is available for download as a torrent on ISO hunt and a link to it is available on the creative vista form. Find the torret here . BTW mods, this is a legitimate download and not illegal piracy. Creative wouldn't allow a link to the torrent on there form if it was.

You want to use the driver I gave a link for as the cd iso comes with the older, crappier driver.

For all you people looking for dolby digital and dts then here's a fix I found on hard forum.

This works. I included a snap of it to show you.

Creative only gave the cd with full software to people buying new top-of-the-range X-FI's. Other X-FI user's had to figure a way to get it themselfs. Dolby was only put in for people using a dell pre-build. Beggs the question's. Do creative value there card users so little? What kind of support do they call this?
What plannet are they on cause this is bad buisness and they are not untouchable. Maybay it's time people stopped buying there equipment as they are as bad as microsucks in my eys. The alchemy program doesn't have to be a paid for ( as they plan to do with full release ),seperate app. I found a way to impliment it perminantly in the system. It's all about money and whos respect they value the most.

Anyway, sorry for the rant. Hope this helps some of you. If you have problems with this, then just post. Ill do my best to help.

EDIT:- I tried to put together a zip of the files needed for the dolby fix and post them but the file was to large and were rejected. Sorry. Your on your own with that one. BTW the pic was taken on my brothers system using my old SB X-FI oem. The drivers, software and fix worked on it as well as on my extreme gamer.

Sorry. Should have said that the above driver link works all X-FI cards and on all versions of vista. The page says extreme gamer because thats the line I usualy follow when checking for drivers as that is my audio card.

This does not work for me.. On the audio console I do not get the Decoder Tab. I am not using the YouPax software, but the Creative DVD software release a few weeks ago.

Is this either because I am using Vista 64 bit or because I am not using the Youpax software?

Any ideas?
