New dts connect and dd live packs out for any that use them; especially on win7. I'm hoping they take care of the shutdown hang at least
Creative Worldwide Support
AFAIK shutdown hanging is because of faulty CTAudSvc.exe and not becuase of DDL/DTS pack. You can get "fixed" CTAudSvc.exe on Creative beta FTP, but you need to install it manualy.
Thanks, I've been told before and have a workaround for it but I'm always hoping. You're right though, it doesn't
Great resource about Creative drivers! Thanks for posting.
However -- please note that Creative has admitted the new Win7 drivers DO NOT support What U Hear recording on X-Fi Audio and certain X-Fi Audigy adapters. My X-Fi Extreme Audio card handled What U Hear recording just fine under Win XP, but does not record under Win7. Creative tech support has confirmed this. So if you go to Win7 and need to record What U Hear, you will need a new sound card.
I posted the Creative tech support e-mail elsewhere on this forum. A big raspberry to Creative. Nice way to sell new adapters.
NEW DRIVERS!!

Thanks Crispy. Saw that yesterday on the Creative forums and was just waiting on a bit of feedback there before updating the links. Other than one happy person the only other thing about them so far is one guy who's AV threw a wobbly and threw up a couple of false positives (Comodo, which also did it back in October last year).
P.S. Have you tried them and how are they?
Does this work on the Xmod? Need help Not much of a Tech expert
