Get on the main site for your country

These drivers are .444 drivers "modded" by Creative itself.

humeyboy · May 15, 2005, 05:17 PM

Yes they will be Creatives normal buggy crap sounding drivers, but you could fix that, cause on the actual download page you will see all fixes and EAX Advanced settings ie pop, rock etc and not in sync with Graphic EQ and THX Console not forgeting its settings, which is great.

On 1st June, are you using a audigy 4 or this driver modded?, and can you mod creatives mediasource to play songs by track No as old playcentre used to instead of alphabetically, from mp3 albums.

Am i doing anything wrong? i got a audigy 2 card

1, ensure your sound card is model 0240 or 0350 or 0244
2, Install Windows XP SP2
3, Install YouP PAX drivers
4, Install PAX New Year package without the drivers included

Audigy2/Audigy2 ZS/Audigy4 Pro series drivers are being used.

CMS player now is playing music by track No.

humeyboy · May 15, 2005, 06:44 PM

great

saweet · May 16, 2005, 12:38 AM

D000 is my model i think? Im just gonna wait to june 1st and maybe my problems will be fixed.

**dj_stick** · May 16, 2005, 03:04 AM

thatis not your model, just the number assigned to it by the machine

your number should be CTxxxx or SBxxxx

classic_leon · May 16, 2005, 07:55 AM

lol. have you found out?

humeyboy · May 16, 2005, 04:14 PM

Leon look at thats from audigy 4, see where it normally says CMSS, is that some stereo surround setting there ?

Incase that url dont work for you.

classic_leon · May 16, 2005, 05:31 PM

I think all releases of CMS 3.xx.xx are same during use but you still can update. But you need several files that are less than 1Mb to replace same files in Creative folders after every time you update.

humeyboy · May 16, 2005, 05:45 PM

I installed it , it says CMSS, CMSS2, ST Surr, if you set the settings to these settings, this is probably not new, but i aint noticed before as i only use CMSS(1)

I dont see new eax settings as i didnt install it as it was a older build than your current set Leon, i look forward to 1st june, but i like the sound of the fixes in that official creative driver i showed you other day.

BTW i aint got Platinum only Audigy 2 ZS normal, so not sure i will see that fancy volume app

classic_leon · May 16, 2005, 05:58 PM

Sure that volume app ain't able to execute without remote control devices.

kado · May 18, 2005, 11:54 PM

Classic_leon make sure you guys test the driver package to be released june 1st so it gives also good recording capabilities... I have "Pax New Year Package 2005" and "YouP PAX ZS v4.0" drivers and everytime i tried to record something from the line in the creative media source just freezed... it didn't crash... and if I tried to reboot it was not possible, I had to reset the system... anyway I installed the latest Audigy 2 ZS beta drivers and it is now working properly with the new year package.
anyway great work you and YouP are doing tweaking these drivers! keep it up!

I have an Audigy 2 ZS.

Kado

classic_leon · May 20, 2005, 09:39 PM

got it. You may try to use Creative Smart Recorder to record.

humeyboy · May 24, 2005, 12:40 PM

http://www.soundblaster.com/products/x-fi/technology/

Countdown is running lol.

Het Leon, BTW, if your using the new audigy 4 driver and apps from real cd, aint that gonna be older then recent updates, esp the new open GL driver last week that fixed lots for Audigy 4 ?.

classic_leon · May 30, 2005, 12:11 AM

OpenAL will be integrated in YouP PAX drivers.
Audigy4 is almost the same as Audigy2 but there are a little difference that has to be found for the drivers modding. Creative has 2 groups to develp drivers that are different and .1xxx series drivers bring lota bugs on Audigy2 series, so you do not need to update it. But you can update software package.
Here is the software package: Moddified Audigy 4 Pro ISO is out! Download is now available .
Drivers will be out soon.

JohnMcClane · May 30, 2005, 09:35 AM

Just curious: any plans for x64 drivers?

Interested on this one as well, would be awesome

humeyboy · May 30, 2005, 08:12 PM

Damn, i did total clean up of all old apps and driver i mean deep clean, i installed pax 4.0 driver rebooted then did this new apps pack and i cant even use the speakers settings, says this card not support (audigy 2 ZS real not oem non plat), all else seems ok so far but i aint had time to run all.
I had set my 7.1 through windows settings and THX, i see claibrate in THX still lopps it dont come to a stop after yo pressed TAB key to go round all speakers, at least its staying set to above monitor for time being.

humeyboy · May 30, 2005, 08:18 PM

DVD audio player back to maiing funny noises even with pax 4.0 driver, hope new driver fixes, cant load mixer from dvd audio player says reinstall apps .

humeyboy · May 30, 2005, 08:21 PM

The mixer is same mixer from creative media source and it was working at new install, i did repair to fix the speakers settings now i have lost mixer and speakers setting still says card not supported.

How many times do i need repair this ( i did run from daemon tools but i dod that for all my games and movies no problems

JohnMcClane · May 30, 2005, 08:29 PM

maybe you'll have to wait for the new drivers before using the a4 package

classic_leon · May 30, 2005, 08:56 PM

Don't warry. After new drivers come out, you will fix issues.

classic_leon · May 30, 2005, 10:32 PM

There is a bug for Audigy/Audigy2/Audigy2 ZS (not SBLive!): after you run THX console once, Speak Setting and Mixer cannot be used. You can fix it with A4_Patch.rar (or http://www.cnbeta.com/club/job.php?a...=1858&aid=1045):
1. download and extract A4_Patch.rar (or http://www.cnbeta.com/club/job.php?a...=1858&aid=1045) to 2 files, SpkSet.exe and SurMixer.exe.
2. Then copy SpkSet.exe to "X:\Program Files\Creative\SBAudigy4\Speaker Settings\" and overwrite the same file. Copy SurMixer.exe to "X:\Program Files\Creative\SBAudigy4\Surround Mixer" and overwrite the same file.

humeyboy · May 30, 2005, 11:03 PM

DVD Audio is ok in Power dvd6 (still to test Creatives player) and your patches fixed speakers and mixer, only problem left is every reboot i lose my eax setting and need to reset it to a choice but CMSS stays on ok.

What about that latest Creative mediasource and driver fix for audigy 4 i posted that makes the Eax setting sync with the EQ setting, cant we have that instead of having to change rock ro pop in both apps instead of one only.

classic_leon · May 30, 2005, 11:14 PM

humeyboy, could you please send me a PM. Thank you!

humeyboy · May 30, 2005, 11:30 PM

Sure and well done we are getting there, i know Creatives software is buggy crap.

hacker3000 · May 31, 2005, 12:44 PM

since the other 2 links for the A4-Patch.rar don't work anymore, i made a new link from my server... here you can download it.

sovietdoc · May 31, 2005, 10:57 PM

with the patch, all things work great

piaskoon · Jun 1, 2005, 11:07 PM

Hi there.
I'm wondering, why still (after few months since A2Value release) there's no support for Audigy2 Value card in YouP Pax and/or Audigy 4 hacked driver????? Don't tell me it has no EMU 10kx DSP (like SBlive! 24bit)! It definitely has:

"In order to verify the play abilities of novelties, we used Unreal Tournament 2004, where adapts the sonic cursor of new generation - OpenAL, capable of maximally opening the potential of each sonic pay on 3d- positioning of sound. For determining the productivity of audioprotsessorov was measured the rate of the fulfillment of boat- match for the different regimes of the sonic tracking: 3D Audio, Hardware 3D Audio, Hardware 3D Audio + EAX. The results of this testing, represented on the diagram, they themselves for itself speak. If in the case with Audigy 2 Value users in effect nothing it loses in comparison with the flag officer - Audigy 2 zs, then in the implementation of possibilities 3Dzvuka on pay SB Live! 2ya-.bit it occurs the drop in the speed, compared with the same for audiokodekov, build it the contemporary maternal pays. But since almost all algorithms 3Dpoziqionirovani4 from Sensaura realize by program in Realtek ALC880, then to us remains to only establish the validity of the same assertion, also, for the new budgetary pay Creative - with the only difference, that here the discussion will deal with EAX." (http://itc.ua/article.phtml?ID=19306&IDw=62&pid=111 - use babelfish)

EDIT: Audigy 2 value (based on CA0108-IAT) also supports EAX 4.0 which Audigy LS and Live 24bit (based on CA0106-DAT) does not support.

So? Where's the problem? I read that DSP on A2V board is only a little bit different in comparison to DSP on A2 ZS (different audio port registers or smth

) but it's simple to fix. Please answer.

P.S. Sorry for my poor english
