It is highly recommended to install the drivers with 2005 New Year software pack, which can be downloaded at : [color=#0000ff]http://www.mydrivers.com/dir110/d44311.htm[/color]

Features:

Already-Found-Issues:
-some compatibility problem with several games, such the noisy TV sound and asides in “Max Payne 2” comes out in the games. Merely other compatibility issues found in other EAX games.
-no CMSS 3D functionality in EAX Console, but you can get tweaks on Creative PlayCenter 2.
-Dolby Digital EX function hacked! You can turn it by using Creative Sound Card Control Panel on the desktop, in which Dynamic Range Compression be switched on/off.
-AC3 signal can be passed though S/PDIF to the sound card to process, and DTS sound tracks is played with software players as PowerDVD or WinDVD.

Two Edits of the drivers:
1.Supports the Live! Benefit Special Edition retailed in China's mainland only (including 0220 version Asia and 0220 version Benefit Special):
This Edit is optimized for Benefit Special Edition of Live!, it can also be installed on other Live! cards. It must be chosen to install if you select "Simplified Chinese" interface when installation processed.
2.Does not support Live! 0220 version Asia sound cards and the Benefit Special Edition sound cards(retailed in China's mainland only):
This version is optimised for other Live! cards, and with Chinese Traditional and English installation and driver interfaces added.

Notes:
1. Please uninstall previous drivers before installing version 2.0, or some unexpected issues may occur.
2. includes the patch that mods 4 channels to 5.1, system-shutdown-hang patch, system shutdown acceleration patch (under Windows XP), with added SPDIF IN function under Creative Surround Mixer.
3. While installing the driver under Windows XP, setup program modifies some system files, which will be restored after installation is completed. While asked “Whether to overwrite the newer files?”, please always select “Yes” to continue installation.
4. Please use the uninstallation option which is integrated in drivers to uninstall the 0220 version Benefit Special drivers, or uninstallation cannot be executed completely. Selecting Chinese Simplified installation interface to install 0220 version Asia and the Benefit Special Edition of driver.
5. When Chinese Simplified installation interface is selected, you can uninstall the PAX VI v1.68 drivers which are included in the 2005 New Year package.

No, you don't have to choose Chinese installation. choose English interface and select the second edit.

Edit:
I think second version wil be your choice.

Edit:
What Model of SBLive sound card you got?
BTW, you have to have enough space on partition C:\ for installation.

whoops...
there is something wrong... drivers of 0220 have been put into Chinese edit.
The current solution is you first choose Chinese interface and then just continuity click "next" (right button) to finish installation.
This issue is only for SB 0220. Because even the edit which supports 0220 is put into English interface, a language issue will come out with EAX Console too.

Only SB 0220 gets this issue and this is the modding problem of the 293 drivers.

You are welcome, Jof.
Yes, sb0220 users have English supported but a few words in EAX Console.
I will ask YouP about the fix when he is free.

I found another problem, the front left speaker is louder than the right speaker, but i have them in the sourround mixer on the same level!
And the volume slider for the center speaker doesn´t take an effect!

Shamanix84 is on a distinguished road

I've installed the package and it works fin (thanks for a great job), but i have som questions i hope someone can answer:

Is it the "audigy 2 zs" or "audigy 4" driver?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This startup prosesses are added when installing the package, what can i remove? (it would be nice with a description for each prosess):

AudioDrvEmulator
CTSysVol
RCSystem
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I also think a service is started:

Intergrated Multimedia Server

I dont have the integrated Multimedia service on my machine.
Maybe its from one of the software options you chose, since i only install drivers, speaker setttings, eax/thx console etc.

You choose install depending on what card you have. I choose pax 1.2 newyear (based on audigy4 driver i think).

BTW those that download from my ftp, please say if the speeds are bad or good, since its my new host

Some Problems with Install of YouP-PAX 2005 NewYear

Running a Dual boot System, XP is on D:\ plus using a Audigiy 2 ZS.


Found that after the install, D:\ set as the default, some Files are loaded on D:\ and Some on E:\ but they are not the same folders.


Also Plenty of room on the D:\ Partition.

Also should their be a AudioHQ option..?


Thanks

I suggest you all install it after you close antivirus auto-detector, CT processes're regarded as baleful program to enforce terminating.

update from youP again!
translated from: http://club.mydrivers.com/new/index....owtopic=105126

Quote:
March 12

Driver has been releated for several days now, and I have recieved a lot of comments/complains from the friends over the sea. A large portion of them uses the 0220 LIVE, and they experienced no sound after installing the English version of the driver. I've asked them to try the Chinese version of the driver and see if the perforamnce's ok. The replies are pretty positive, but they do want it working with English version. So after classic_leon and I have talked about this, we've decided to translate those special files into English, but maybe it will look relatively Ugly. That's because they are binary files, and I can't add text into it easily. I can only add English within the original Chinese textfield. Therefore the translation will be in Very Simple English . I'll try, as long as the you got the meaning it should be ok~ (If you guys need Traditional Chinese version, I can see what I can do.


March 12, noon

In these past 2 days, there has been some feedback regarding the inability of installing 2005 software pack. My guess is the Creative installation program's fault. If one runs the isntallation program or install the driver without a restart, the software pack's installation program will fail to detect the sound card. Therefore, I suggest everyone to first install the software pack [w/o the drivers], and then install the PAX VI 2.0 driver.



March 14:

I'm trying to decide whether I should patch up some minor things on PAX VI 2.0, because lately I've found out that the driver does not perform if it is reinstalled. The reason being the method of editing the system files is not implemented well, and I'm figuring some new method for solving this problem and have the driver stays stable in XP.
