Hmmm... last ones were .253, but 1.253, and these are 2.252... hmm... strange a bit.

I was thinking right, it is not new. Only this thing is different:
Resolves Virtual Directory issue with SoftPaq SP21636 where it failed if customer did not use default directory location.

Everything else is like SP21636.

Newer are only AUDDRVPACK.exe (.253) and UP-AX-3.zip (.253).

so people with 5.12.1.253 should stick to that one then?

This is the reason for new release and only difference between previos ones and these.

Dom · Oct 8, 2002, 07:37 PM

These drivers were posted on winbeta.org, blame them not me.

RIV@NVX · Oct 8, 2002, 07:44 PM

And they blame Warp2Search who blames Compaq. Does it ends on Compaq, is guilt completely their?

Dom · Oct 8, 2002, 07:46 PM

What's your point?

So-Unreal · Oct 8, 2002, 07:46 PM

To answer to your post. If someone actually read the changelog and compared it to previous one, that one would put a warning. And there would not be such things. NEW OLD drivers. Very nice.

Dom · Oct 8, 2002, 08:20 PM

Well, I don't use Creative cards, so don't know much about their drivers. Do these new-old-drivers atleast work better than the kX drivers?

No, for me. Creative drivers are big in size and I don't like them. They suck too much.
Only better thing than kX drvs for me is that they have EAX 1/2/3, but I don't have much games that support it and that's why I use kX driver. Actually I do some work on music, so I like kX Project more, but decision is yours.

I compared it to SP21636 that is same version like these you posted. SP21636 works better than original Audigy CD and Live CD drivers.
