is it possible to get EAX as a separate download
Creative Sound Card Problem Thread

From the way the program meshes with the driver it 'must', interface with the entire driver/program. So, unless you are going to change the coding no there is no way.
The eax for your particular card is software based not totally on board, thus the reason for the whole programs drivers to sync with the online registration verification to unlock the eax processing.
I know it is a drag to have to do fresh os installs, but I know there are several new builds which all are not as stable in terms of what 7100 RC has available.

I'm suffering with the same problem re erroneously aborted driver installation (in my case with an OEM XtremeMusic card, the latest Creative beta drivers, and Build 7100). I've found if you first install a recent SB driver from Device Manager (in my case the only one that I could access in this way was the "Daniel K." driver in his X-Fi Support Pack 2.0 available on the Creative message board for Soundblaster products), do not delete or disable this driver contrary to Creative instructions, and then install the latest Creative driver package, it will install correctly. Clumsy, but it works.

has anyone tried using the system properties/ device manager and uninstall the drivers then reboot and disconnect your internet adapter so it cannot download the software, then just select update/ reinstall driver in the device manager to do it manually. this will just install the drivers that are required by windows rather than the entire software in the download package from Creative.
just a thought.

There are two folders provided by Asus for my Supremfx x-fi card, they are :
1-audio driver 32/64bit
&
2-x-fi software(which contains several drivers and I have been through each file the are alot)drivers', for using eax,creative console, karokee, etc.).
I only have two free online file account(can only upload individual files)it would take mad time like hour at upload the tens of megabytes via internet connection available.
Or, else I would provide you. I suggest that you goto Asus or your brand manufacturer's site to get the oem audio driver for your card.
Then try it with " 7100 ", first try it without the vista compatibility mode. Thereafter try it with the compatibility if it does not work.
I have been able to use the oem Asus audio driver and x-fi driver software with 7100 to flawless results.
Try Dale method as well, as he stated.
Hmm, I tried this to no effect what so ever in the 6100 builds. Not quite sure what effect this would return in 7129?
Perhaps it is worth a go?

i have not had any problems with my audio since i went from 7057 to 7100 and still am on 7100 until the rtm will be leaked, but the way i done it is posted somewhere back in this thread, installed all latest drivers in compat mode (vista sp1) including the mobo driver, grfx drivers ect. the only problem i still face with the asus xonar hdav centre is the recording volume controls are blank, boot into vista and they are there, but i dont record anyway so its not an issue. all signs of crakling, popping, phasing out when scrolling up or down in firefox when in 5.1 or 7.1 are gone. though im not using creative anymore i was experiencing the same issues with the asus hdav as others here which was proving it was a windows 7 issue rather than driver/hardware relations.
the reason i mentioned to try installing the driver manually in Device Manager was maybe there could be a file that the creative installer installs that is getting forced to run in windows that is not compatible with win7, by installing it manually it will only locate the drivers it needs to run the hardware, then simply just use windows sound panel to controll volume and go into playback devices to configure 5.1 ect.
the other issue is this may only work on a fresh install as we all know there are files and registries that dont get deleted properly upon selecting uninstall a program and unless you know every .dll ect it installs it will be impossible to track them down.
hopefully you creative owners will have some luck soon cos i know how much it really sucks a@# to have no audio!
otherwise if the rc1 7100 solved the issue then simply reinstall 7100 and use another boot drive to test the newer beta versions, that way if it dont work you can go back to the other boot drive and have a full functional o/s, with out sound there might as well be no o/s IMO (audiophile addict!)

...if any1 is still looking @ this...
Audigy 2 on ASRock 4CoreDual-SATA2 R2.0
i've tried many different versions of several different drivers--officials, betas, daniel_k's.... .exe's & manual installs thru device manager....some don't install, some do & the ones that do freeze up 7 either as soon as any sound is played or upon 7 startup...fantastic!!
(0 issues in XP i might add..i skipped the whole Vista ordeal in hopes of 7 being better 
). i'm going to keep trying & if i ever find something that works for my Audigy 2, this will be the 1st place i post my discovery.
update: i overlooked & rediscovered the kX Project drivers, which are working fine :)Last edited by neyel8r; 16 Dec 2009 at 21:28. Reason: update

Have the most recent soundblaster card certified by MS and Creative as being Win7 certified when I upgraded my 3 year old Dell XPS 410 to Win7 64 bit; also upgraded my Ram to 8Gb, clean installed it to 1 of 2 1terrabyte drives. I cannot hear vocal tracts when attempting to play Dvd's on my computer on WMP and WMC, only the background music. The DVD's play fine, vocal and background when I play them on my only non MS player, Roxio Cinema player. The speakers are awesome THX certified Altec Lansing ADA885, and do not appear to be at fault.
