They're working of the tracker so the site goes down now and than. Other than that it's solid. I'll announce it on file soup and post the link here too.
Let me upload the torrent and shot it to you via PM.

RCOrdorica · Mar 4, 2005, 05:30 AM

somehow, your file must be different from mine because they have a different hash. ... let me download the one off my own site.

EDIT: i downloaded my own file off my website and it still doesn't match yours. did you do anything different to it?

I grabbed the file off your site early last week. When I look at it in Winrar the modified date shows 2/6/2005 4:31AM. The CRC32 is 6C8EEDAA.
The client I used to make the torrent was Azureus. I'm not sure why the hash is different.
Perhaps it's the tracker and location.

I'll grab the one you have on your site now to see if they match.

RCOrdorica · Mar 4, 2005, 08:23 AM

well, i am downloading it from your source. My CRC is the same also in winrar.

I used a the nightly .jar file for azureus when I made it, maybe they changed the hash code? or it's bugged.

oh well.

cypher_138 · Mar 4, 2005, 05:07 PM

Cool. For a second there I thought I've been seeding an older version.
There's at least ten seeds for the file already so it's spreading.

guru · Mar 4, 2005, 07:31 PM

so the one on RCOrdorica's site is the final as far as sblive is concerned?

Jof · Mar 4, 2005, 09:27 PM

Any news for the new version, that supports the PAX Live! Driver for english installation??

UPDATE from YouP's own word on:
http://club.mydrivers.com/new/index....owtopic=105126

March 4th:
My wife had been sick these days, so I didn't have time to work on the driver.
Today I'll continue on working on quality and compatibiliy, and the installation. Hopefully it'll be released soon.

Boymmx · Mar 5, 2005, 11:01 AM

Hello.
Is it any trick how to make drivers work with audigy2 value version ? Or will it be some NEW YEAR PACKAGE drivers update in the future, that could work with audigy2 value ?

Thanks...

Jof · Mar 5, 2005, 11:21 AM

I have a Problem with the speaker calibration with my sb Live!
There is always a error message when i exit the speaker calibration and the settings i made, are not saved!

divedr · Mar 5, 2005, 05:57 PM

Help from anyone would be appreciated. I have problems with the Entertainment Center portion of this package. I would like to try a workaround by replacing the file DLLML.exe version 1.0.13.0 with version 1.0.8.0 found in the Audigy 4 Pro CD. The problem is I don't have this file or CD. If anyone has it please PM me so I can try it out.

Many thanks!

eleterno1 · Mar 6, 2005, 01:59 AM

Oh my god, what a great sound!!
the new pax drivers 3.89 are great!!, without needing a mic pre-amp for my mic, i can record from it very clear!!it doesn't distort, i have and audigy 2 zs.

the only problem is support for gigastudio, but the rest are awesome, one of the greates drivers ui ever seem, kx and upax looks like, ati-vs-nvidia jejeje. thanks!!

Robert McClelland · Mar 7, 2005, 05:44 AM

Um I got modem blasting threw my speakers is there way you can fix that Tadin for it? I can't turn my modem noise down at all. Another thing that my FM WDM not working with microphone anyway refix that? It's using my line in instead hehe.

KeljuK · Mar 7, 2005, 10:46 AM

Thanks for the drivers. Just wanted to post that everything works and installation (for an Audigy2) was a breeze. Download was also nice and fast, thanks to the seeders! Sound (music) and EAX quality are maybe little bit better than before.

smasha · Mar 7, 2005, 07:13 PM

Everything seems to be working here except the dvd audio player on my aud 2 platinum ex.

It finds the disc and gets the title and the play button is greyed out but there isn't any music and the dvd drive goes really fast.

songochain1 · Mar 7, 2005, 11:39 PM

I cant use creative surround mixer2 with my sblive. It says that i havent a dll
Also i see there is a new update of youp pax drivers but the page (here) hasnt a link to download it. Where can i download it??
Thanks

XibaD · Mar 8, 2005, 12:21 PM

Yep, true, my friend. When I had sblive I had the same issues. About the new drivers, I hope classic leon comes back soon.

See ya!

KeljuK · Mar 8, 2005, 03:33 PM

Is it btw safe to use the Creative's autoUpdate feature on their web page with these drivers? I tried it already and there were some updates that it suggested, but I didn't take them as those updates were related to DRM and minidisc, which I don't use. Also I was affraid that there might come some problems if Creative adds some extra checks to its SW...

catalyst · Mar 8, 2005, 11:40 PM

i've read through this entire thread AND the entire "Install Audigy 4 drivers..." thread and i'm none the wiser...

on this rig i have a SB Live! 5.1 Digital OEM (SB0220)

i bought it buy itself, white box, and it had nothing to do with a Dell afaik lol... maybe it's the same card tho...

anyway, i messed with the ID's on the Audigy2 drivers and managed to get it to recognise my card (at least as a SBLive present if nothing else)... the software and drivers all install and games work, but the left and right seem to be swapped, and there's no rear lol...

i'm quite interested in these New Year, YouP, and PAX drivers and app packages but i can't work out which ones i'm supposed to install... on the first page it look like i install the Live New Year 2004 software package and then install the YouP PAX ULTRA VI drivers (selecting option 2 - optimised for Live! 5.1)

am i right? will this work for my stupid card?! i have a sblive platinum 5.1 in my old rig and will soon be exclusively using the kX drivers on it instead of a kX/creative dual boot...

but my main rig is my gaming rig and the kX's suck for gaming so i'm wondering if there's any hope for my sucky cheapy cheap sblive 5.1 digital??

i may give up soon and just buy an Audigy 2 ZS OEM/Value.. <-- do these cards have the same stupid problem as my current card??

thomasabarnes · Mar 9, 2005, 12:11 AM

Getting an Audigy 2 ZS might be the best thing to do. I think if you get the newest NewYear package and install for SB Live! card, that's the way to go for your card.

YouP-PAX 2005 NewYear(Feb,7,2005)

Packages come out so quickly, and so much is said here, it takes an effort to keep up with what's going on. LOL Try that pack to see if it works for you if you suspect you have a Dell model card that classic leon says is not supported by this package. I have an Audigy, so I cant answer you for certain if your model card works great or not with the newest package. Heck, just try it out, man. I think there are links you can d/l from getting faster speeds now, so maybe slow d/l links wont hinder you from trying out the package.

BTW, that's a nice signature pic you have.

catalyst · Mar 9, 2005, 12:57 AM

A2ZS's are so cheap now they almost grow on trees... but i think it'd be rude not to try all these drivers and packages on this Dell-infected SBLive lol...

yeah, i'm not too worried about downloading all the various drivers and software packages... it's more the ball-ache of trying them, uninstalling them and messing about with them wondering what's going on lol...

i'll try the newest New Year package anyway and see how that works.

cheers bout the sigpic

the barcode n picture were from a matchbox... i never really took notice of the picture until one day i saw it and was in hysterics for like 10 whole minutes!

oldblue · Mar 9, 2005, 10:48 AM

I've been trying to get these drivers working with my Audigy 2 Value card (they work with it don't they?). And I have tried everything under the sun. I am able to choose Audigy1/2 for installation (if I choose ZS then Creative installer won't work) and the Creative installer installs the programs I want, I run the updates that pop up with the packaged installer, then reboot, but windows still does not recognize the card. I have copied over the driver section that is created and use those to manually install drivers, which works (kind of). But then windows tells me that it cannot start the device.
I have an nForce2 mobo, but I have disabled onboard audio, gameport, etc. I have uninstalled nforce audio drivers. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanx,
George

Edit: Nevermind. I'm going to RMA this one back to Newegg and I have already ordered a ZS (only $20 more). Should have done that from the beginning. I happened upon a Creative official forum where someone was complaining about the difficulty in obtaining drivers for the OEM version of the A2 Value. The Moderator said that there are sometimes hardware differences between retail and OEM for that card that make it difficult or impossible for retail drivers to work with it. It's probably just some internal ID string. Thanks for the help anyways.

catalyst · Mar 9, 2005, 11:03 AM

i thought this was just a "white box" version of a regular Live 5.1... turns out it's different to the whole Live series... man, well i've found Creative drivers on the creative site that look like they're new n updated so i'll try them (all the NewYear / YouP drivers didn't work)

i'm so close to buying an Audigy2 ZS... is there any problem with the Value version??? i only want it for games so i don't need a breakout box or drivebay i/o (got that in my other rig)

edit: i've reverted to the original creative drivers and apps that came on the installation cd as they are the only ones which work correctly (ie. rear channels working)... i think the only minor problem with these is the OpenAL issue in UT2004... i guess the sound quality isn't as good, but then again i'm not sure as the SB0220 has 6-channel AC97 rather than AC97/I2S so i'm not sure if the sound quality can be increased whilst also maintaining all channels...

it's not the best situation, but at least my card works, and i'm mostly using it for gaming on this rig, so i'm not too fussed about ultimate sound quality.. i've got the kX drivers loaded on my other rig with the SBLive Platinum 5.1 cos i use that to make tunes...

blah, i'll just buy a regular Audigy 2 ZS OEM/Bulk (0350) at some point when i've got the spare cash

And I have tried everything under the sun. I am able to choose Audigy1/2 for installation (if I choose ZS then Creative installer won't work) and the Creative installer installs the programs I want, I run the updates that pop up with the packaged installer, then reboot, but windows still does not recognize the card. I have copied over the driver section that is created and use those to manually install drivers, which works (kind of). But then windows tells me that it cannot start the device. I have an nForce2 mobo, but I have disabled onboard audio, gameport, etc. I have uninstalled nforce audio drivers. Any help would be appreciated. Thanx, George Edit: Nevermind. I'm going to RMA this one back to Newegg and I have already ordered a ZS (only $20 more). Should have done that from the beginning. I happened upon a Creative official forum where someone was complaining about the difficulty in obtaining drivers for the OEM version of the A2 Value. The Moderator said that there are sometimes hardware differences between retail and OEM for that card that make it difficult or impossible for retail drivers to work with it. It's probably just some internal ID string. Thanks for the help anyways. Last edited by oldblue; Mar 10, 2005 at 02:22 AM.
