Latest Creative X-Fi Driver

[swarfega]

Creative yesterday released a new version of their X-Fi driver (funny how it coincided with the 7100 leak!) and theyve added a windows 7 x64 support in the OS selector.

[swarfega]

[scaramonga]

Yup, just tested, and file is corrupt! :huh:

 

[swarfega]

Ive sent creative an email about it. Hopefully theyl fix this soon.

I downloaded mine yesterday and it was fine so maybe its a European server issue.

I did try the US one as well with same results. There was a link to MU on creatives forums so I used that and it appears to work ok.

 

[Tsophika]

Do you happen to have that link? I just clean installed 7100 and am searching the Creative forums, but I don't see anything yet.

Nevermind - got it.

Downloaded and installed with no problem here also...

Tested and working by myself.

Thanks scaramonga.

Can someone explain me whats the content on that package? Only drivers, or apps too? Should i remove everything first? I have Vistax64 drivers to the Xi-Fi Faltal1ty and never got problems with it.

Thanks in advance.

Uninstall everything from your soundcarf first


Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Series Beta Driver 2.18.0013
Creative Console Launcher 2.61.09

Are both Version that i have installed and no problems with!

Use the creative.com website and give them a try!

 

[MorbidGod]

Thats just great, thanks!

I still cannot get WMP to play 7.1 with movie dvds...not that it matters too much because I use MPC-HC anyways but still I would like everything to work.

 

[MorbidGod]

Just use The KMPlayer, and loose any third party codecs you have. It will play anything you want. Cheers.

 

[digitalrurouni]

Hmm I have never heard of KMPlayer. I use CCCP actually and Media Player Classic Home Cinema comes bundled with it. I watch a lot of anime and I am a stickler for details, and I have found that to be the best to play anything AND render proper beautiful as intended by the authors subtitles as well.

I´ve used CCCP for some time and i´ve said that many times too, but i still think you shoul try it. KMP brings his own codecs (including H.264 and all other HD codecs) and basically its free and you dont need to install any codecs of any kind (and that should skip some odd bugs in some recent games too, due to fddshow), but hey its up to you, just trying to help.

Thanks for that. I am always looking for something that provides a better experience. I am not saying I am not going to check it out. It definitely sounds interesting.
