Here is the reply from creative when i enquired about them.
It is singapore where the Major R&D is ... then again i may be mistaken... but what I am not mistaken is that the drivers are "not an enhancement CD"
Well so much for the new driver.!
Dear Sir/Madam,
Regarding your enquiry, the mentioned unified drivers is not an enhancement CD, it is just the normal installation CD which contain the driver for the SB Live series and SB Audigy series with some basic applications. Please provide us the informations inside the DISKID file in the original installation CD which bundled with your sound card.
