New audigy drivers for win xp

[FallenPaladin 0]

After some months of laziness Creative has finally released some new Audigy drivers for WinXP/Win2000. They contain some fixes, e.g. some bugs should be fixed regarding "muffling sounds in some games" or so. I`ll try them as soon as I have downloaded them, but currently I`m in waiting position and more than 160 people are in front of me

I didn`t know where to post this... Some people using Creative stuff could be interested in that. A new forum section would be useful, sometimes. One in which we could post all driver-updates that could relate to some OFP problems, e.g. the EAX problems and so on.

Second topic moved today, I promise improvement *sniff*

is it for the Audigy or for the Audigy 2?

For the Audigy, I don`t know what`s the status with the Audigy 2 drivers. Take a look at creative.com.

Currently... there are 321234 people before you waiting in line to download this file.

Hmn..

Any links, people?

Be patient, for me the waiting turned out faster than I thought  

It`s only a small update, took 30-40secs to install. I try to find some improvements tomorrow, because my folks would kill me, if I turned on my 5.1 surround system at 1.13am

I just want a solution to those sound problems, no matter how. All this crackling in OFP is so annoying and I can only partly get rid of it when switching to 3rd person in vehicles. And even then it comes back when another engine is started, so I have to switch again and again and again.... Playing on servers with forced 1st person view is so helluva annoying.

No-one seems to be responsible for this, which is a shame. The way I see this, many people have this crackling issue. There must be even a way to reduce or nullify it as it can be turned off with that view point switch. There must be something that BIS can do about it. No VIA or Creative patch etc. helped.

Maybe this patch will help Audigy owners. Still me and my SBlive are still fuc**d.

Turn your hardware sound acceleration to none it works.. I hope this patch fixes that i cant stand it!

When i turn it off completly, the sound will stay for some minutes and then some sounds like engine noise disapper. Most of the time, the sound is lost completly, though. Only way to get it back is to turn hardware acceleration back on, where we come back to problem #1

Creative "support" is something...

I own a lot of their stuff, but very often they let me just out there in the rain. Good hardware, but crappy software and support!

With a bit of digging, I give you...Audigy2 drivers working with SB Live! and Audigy.

Thread where I found the info.

Audigy2 Driver CD

Compatibility patch for Live! and Audigy1

Apparently solves a lot of issues, including Teamspeak crackling, might solve those static bugs too. Of course, if you try this, its on your own head.

[FallenPaladin 0]

Thanks a lot, Itchy, but speaking for myself I`ll stick with my Audigy drivers and hope the best

I tried this new drivers. They don't look much different than the previous build, but it looks like that static noise has gone. I solved the crackling problem a few moths ago already.

So, has anyone tried the linked drivers above with SB Live!? I would really love to get rid of that damn random crackling noise. Thanks for your help guys!

I tried with the Sb Live 5.1 De, it does not work... crashes when I try Mixer,diagnostics, speaker setup etc, and there is absolutely no sound. Went back to the original driver.

Damn ...Well, thanks for letting me know so that I don't have to go through the trouble of uninstalling/re-installing to get my sound to work correctly.
