Nice to see someone doing what Creative refuses to do; supporting their own products.

Drivers may well work.
Configuration is a bear!

This is like the best alternative out there for creative drivers if you're after sound quality and not EAX and stuff.
Even though it is complicated - but there are tons of presets available for download. Great thing.

The kX drivers? 5/5

Excellent as usual.

Disabled my cd/dvd drive.
Thanks!

kxDrivers are not FOSS, and if you don't like the interface, you can download one of the many skins available for it.

kxDrivers are one of the most powerful driver sets available for a consumer product. They give you full DSP routing ability, allow you to script hardware effects, and give you a low latency sequencing and recording solution using a 20 dollar sound card. If that doesn't sound fantastic to you, I would have to say you're simply ignorant.

Excellent driver for people trying to use obsolete sound cards with Windows Vista.

Want to get your perfectly good SB Live working in Vista after Creative abandoned you? Then this is the package for you. Perfect? Nope, but free and functional. Thanks for the great work and hi quality audio.

Taken from: http://www.driverheaven....197-3538m-released.html

-----------------------------------
here's 3538m:

changes:
- Added support for analog-ins on A2ZS Notebook
- Fixed issue with 24/96 router (pls verify!)
- Fixed skin memory leak issue (Note: always use Zip instead of Rar)
- Fixed EFX effects boot time issue (related to the above)
- SDK: Added passthru on/off functions
- Fixed issue with double-click, added one more option
---
this is a final release candidate
unless we find anything critical in this release, I will announce this as 'latest stable' on our site (which hasn't been updated since 2004!)
after that, I will start working on x64 support and will work on improving Vista compatibility (ASIO)
--
everyone is encouraged to review this new build and let me know if it is stable enough.
pls re-check all the issues present in 3538a..3538l and let me know if some of them are still not fixed
--
known issues (which I cannot fix at the moment or will be fixing in 3539):
* digital noise/beep instead of audio playback (PCI bus-related) - since 2001...
* Line3 (AUX) is too noisy on A2PlatinumEx (undocumented initalization)
* sysex is corrupt if it is too long
* ASIO support in Vista
* x64 support

this driver version does NOT support (as 3538 and previous ones...):
* EAX 2.0
* 24/96 ASIO
* WaveHQ device (24/96) playback/recording on p17v (a2value, a2zsnotebook) - it was errornously enabled in 3538, but since p16v and p17v are different chips, no support is currently available (it didn't work in 3538 anyway)
* E-mu 1820-like hardware
* passthru on 10k1-based devices

note: audigy2 value mapping is incorrect. please let me know the new mapping and I will fix this before releasing the driver to the public

Typical FOSS project. Over complicated with a GUI that stinks. Hell, even the uninstaller doesn't do the job properly.

Gave up trying to get my soundcard working after trying for an hour. At best I got a repetitive set of high pitched bips.

If there was a zero, I'd have given it one.

A warning to all those trying it - create a System Restore point first and that way you can be sure you've got rid of it when you give up.

there's a 3538i version from some time around, but anyway solid drivers.

I've downloaded a lot of software from Beta News, this is the best so far. It actually deserves a higher rating. Nothing bad I can say about it. Congrats to the coder.
