Schizophonic · Feb 6, 2005, 08:58 PM

Hi there, sorry but i can't read through 20 pages of replies. I've just tried installing on my Audigy NX, but it gives me errors. Is it supported?

Wow, havn't posted on for a bit. Excuse me sig. Very old spec

awan · Feb 6, 2005, 09:36 PM

Schizophonic,
There is no exact limitation on NX, but just on LS series. I can give u certain answer, But are u sure installed the software and the driver correctly/properly on the Correct OS? If u Sure use the correct way installing them, then The conclusion It's not compatible with NX. May be Classic Leon can give u exact and best answer? Sorry I dont know much about this.

And this link is probably not able to be downloaded as you could have a try.

"net friend" is just a translation from: 怀旧年轻派, you la!

When did you become the 'official' person? I was among the first for introducing PAX and Mr. UP's some yrs ago in MadOnion (FutureMark) forum & Warp2search.net. Anyway... I'm just trying to help... why close my thread?

Schizophonic · Feb 6, 2005, 10:08 PM

Thanks for the reply. I *think* i've installed it correctly. But I can't be sure. Now i can't reinstall my normal drivers. I need some offical word for other NX other users. See if they had any better luck.

classic_leon · Feb 6, 2005, 10:58 PM

awan, Youp PAX ZS v3.89 drivers are contained in the updated NewYear Package which will be posted for you all to download tomorrow.
Schizophonic, Sorry, this package does not provide Audigy NX supported as awan says. Try to uninstall these drivers by using YouP PAX uninstaller and I will have no any idea to do if it doesn't work for you.
fanbanlo, Sorry, I didn't close your post. And your thread has been closed because you posted it without YouP's permission. I appreciate you provide the help but English part hasn't been done for international users who are not able to get drivers from your link. And I'm a supermoderator of www.cnbeta.com/club, the link you give comes from the website that currently is available for Chinese local only

However, it can be posted out on Monday if all Mydrivers.com staffs are gonna get to work.

fanbanlo · Feb 6, 2005, 11:17 PM

YouP's permission? Hum... I emailed him a few years ago, and he seemed to be okay with it. Anyway, thanks for your help here, and sorry for the 'net friend' translation. I couldn't translate that nickname of yours~

Do you know YouP personally?

Schizophonic · Feb 6, 2005, 11:36 PM

Damn, thanks for the Info Leon. Any idea if there is goign to be any support in the future for us NX users?

classic_leon · Feb 6, 2005, 11:49 PM

It's alright

We keeps in touch each other everyday. I think he is pretty busy and that's why we gotta have nice drivers to use. The latest SBLive drivers have been finished modding but this set of drivers supports Chinese hereby we have to mod .dll files to get these drivers work in English, which would be launched solely.
BTW, UP's X-FI drivers have more bugs he told us just now. That's why the pack hasn't been posted out.
The bugs are:
-lota Chinglish found
-EAX.exe process runtime error
-Distortion in EAX games

Calm down

, it is not big problem and I think you will fix it. Get to download drivers clear to remove all creative drivers before Go to Control Panel and execute “Add or Remove Programs” to uninstall all Creative software and a program named “Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS” (“Sound Blaster Live” for SBLive; “Sound Blaster Audigy” for Audigy; “Sound Blaster Audigy 2” for Audigy2). Then open “regedit” and delete:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Creative Tech HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Creative Tech HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Cr eative

TechHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\Contro l\Creative

TechHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\Contro l\Creative Tech

Then it will be ok.

XibaD · Feb 6, 2005, 11:56 PM

So it's not recommended to install UP's to SBLive gamers, is it?

Whoa, classic_leon you are a real worker

By the way, the guide is translated to spanish, as I said some hours ago. If someone is interested tell me.

Join me the Dark Side...

There is no PaxNewYear AudigyX driver ?
YouP PAX ZS v3.89 is new improved version of this driver ?

And what about games ? Now it is completly unusable for gamers like Kx driver or this driver is good for both games and music ?

Schizophonic · Feb 7, 2005, 12:56 PM

Great work Leon, i managed to fix my NX, loose cables.....o well.
But what i ment was that is there going to be any support for the new year drivers for us NX users?
Keep up the good work.

XtR · Feb 7, 2005, 02:39 PM

I read about the drivers and i got a little confused.
I have sblive CT4620 (i think) and i use the spdif output.

Keep up the good work!

great to hear Graphical EQ can be adujusted after all

now when you say "THX Consle works but the tweaks doesn't work" do you mean the changes dont stick? or it opens up but all controls are disabled.

just wanted to make sure before i download the huge pack

Socio · Feb 7, 2005, 03:10 PM

Downloading now!

Thanks classic_leon

Nforce2XP · Feb 7, 2005, 03:50 PM

first link works but to a tranfer rate of 2.6 kb/sec c`mon anybody knows a good link,
thanx Leon

XibaD · Feb 7, 2005, 04:42 PM

I have tried them. I'm brave, so I tried simplified chinese YouP PaX VI 1.68

Results:

-Errors in SPEAKER SETUP on closing

-The Bass Boost option can be enabled, but It doesn't work.
-In the EAX console nothing works suitably except time scaling and in some way karaoke.But EAX presets work in CREATIVE AUDIO CONSOLE

-Playcenter doesn't work. Surround mixer 2 doesn't work and generates errors in Audio HQ
-As classic_leon said, THX can be run, but tweaks don't work.
-Speaker calibrator does not work at all.
-For now I've tried Max Payne 2 which worked with the 2004 newyear. It doesn't work good with those 2005 (some kind of distorsion). I'm afraid it's the same problem that had the YouP PaX VI ULTRA drivers

. The same with Star Wars Battlefront.

Music quality is good as usual with PaX drivers.Thats all. I have a Sound Blaster Live! Value CT 4830.

EDIT

Ok ive tried UP drivers. Results:

-Errors in SPEAKER SETUP on closing.
-The Bass Boost option can be enabled, but It doesn't work. But in general MORE BASS QUALITY.
-In the EAX console nothing works suitably except time scaling and in some way karaoke. But EAX presets work in CREATIVE AUDIO CONSOLE

-Playcenter doesn't work.Surround mixer 2 doesn't work and generates errors in Audio HQ
-As classic_leon said, THX can be run, but tweaks don't work.
-Speaker calibrator does not work at all.
-Music sounds GREAT in games, but, although Max Payne 2 (for example) sounds GREAT with no errors, other games present odd sound (I've tested Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic and Star Wars Battlefront). Sounds if you're hearing inside a glass

EDIT2

The only serious problem with PaX drivers is EAX in games that sounds with noises and crackles (as it happened with YouP PaX VI ULTRA, but not in the NewYear 2004 ones). I think if that problem was fixed the drivers would be great great great! Now they are only 1 great

The UP drivers have a similar problem. If that glass sound was fixed, the drivers would also be great.

These are my results. I hope any other SBLive user can post here some impressions too.

Bye!

Blackboost · Feb 7, 2005, 11:40 PM

Lamberth · Feb 8, 2005, 12:35 AM

These drivers doesn't work for me.
They did not detect my Audigy.
Back to the original ones.

I'm brave, so I tried simplified chinese YouP PaX VI 1.68 Results: -Errors in SPEAKER SETUP on closing -The Bass Boost option can be enabled, but It doesn't work. -In the EAX console nothing works suitably except time scaling and in some way karaoke.But EAX presets work in CREATIVE AUDIO CONSOLE -Playcenter doesn't work. Surround mixer 2 doesn't work and generates errors in Audio HQ -As classic_leon said, THX can be run, but tweaks don't work. -Speaker calibrator does not work at all. -For now I've tried Max Payne 2 which worked with the 2004 newyear. It doesn't work good with those 2005 (some kind of distorsion). I'm afraid it's the same problem that had the YouP PaX VI ULTRA drivers . The same with Star Wars Battlefront. Music quality is good as usual with PaX drivers.Thats all. I have a Sound Blaster Live! Value CT 4830. EDIT Ok ive tried UP drivers. Results: -Errors in SPEAKER SETUP on closing. -The Bass Boost option can be enabled, but It doesn't work. But in general MORE BASS QUALITY. -In the EAX console nothing works suitably except time scaling and in some way karaoke. But EAX presets work in CREATIVE AUDIO CONSOLE -Playcenter doesn't work.Surround mixer 2 doesn't work and generates errors in Audio HQ -As classic_leon said, THX can be run, but tweaks don't work. -Speaker calibrator does not work at all. -Music sounds GREAT in games, but, although Max Payne 2 (for example) sounds GREAT with no errors, other games present odd sound (I've tested Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic and Star Wars Battlefront). Sounds if you're hearing inside a glass EDIT2 The only serious problem with PaX drivers is EAX in games that sounds with noises and crackles (as it happened with YouP PaX VI ULTRA, but not in the NewYear 2004 ones). I think if that problem was fixed the drivers would be great great great! Now they are only 1 great The UP drivers have a similar problem. If that glass sound was fixed, the drivers would also be great. These are my results. I hope any other SBLive user can post here some impressions too.
