hey, thanks for the mirroring idea about fileplanet. I've already sent them the information since it takes a couple of days anyways... by that time we might have new drivers.

??? What is PAX-RAV.exe?

When I extracted the files from PAX-New Year 2005-AX, I noticed this file, PAX-RAV.exe included. Does anyone know what this file is intended for?
Cheers.
P.S. Your advise about waiting...and waiting....etc. for the Creative box to pop up during install is very well taken.

Graham, PAX Rav is a patch for people who use the RAV AntiVirus client, if you dont use that AV software you don't need it.

This is a question for classic leon,
I an running an Audigy Platinum and need to get the remote working. The 2005 NewYear package with the entertainment center installed causes a system hang or crash at shutdown. Is there a workaround for this?

Thanks in advance and thanks again for the work on the drivers!

Innuendo2K5 is on a distinguished road

Classic Leon,

These didn't work for my Audigy 2ZS so I guess you need the device ID to add in the next revision:

PCI\VEN_1102&DEV_0004&SUBSYS_20061102&REV_04\4&104 16D21&0&08F0

It's for a Dell OEM Audigy 2ZS.

Thanks...I'm looking forward to trying these drivers & apps out.

Yes, I do have SP2 installed. During the install of PAX-NewYear2005-AX, the wait for the Creative box was very, very long. Severla times I thought it had frozen. My advise: be patient!

How did you make it work? How did you installed exactly? Please answer because I have a Sblive4.1 too.

About CMSS: I think sblive can't support it, hw limitation, I think, but I'm not the pro in the question

Guide to installing Audigy 4 drivers+software on a Soundblaster Live! (4.1)

So far I've only done this on a Live! 4.1 w/LiveDrive (orginal) Lost a lot of sleep for a few days trying to read all these posts here and everywhere else..tried EVERY driver version I could think of....very tired now of "Safe Mode"...

Follow these directions to the utmost!
  1. I assume we all know how to remove every registry entry of Creative by now..if you don't..go to Guru3d.com and get Driver Cleaner Pro. Reboot in "Safe Mode"...remove ALL software from "Add/Remove"...remove the devices in "Device Manager"...run Driver Cleaner and pick both Creative entries to clean. Reboot.
  2. Download [color=red]Creative Drivers 5.12.01.0444[/color]...Google it to find the package..I will upload the files to host on my server as soon as I can. The pacakage is about 15 megs.
  3. Unrar it into it's own directory...go to CTZAPXX.exe and run..it will install the .444 drivers (6-13-2004)...reboot...
  4. Grab the LIVE-NEW YEAR 2005 package if you can.....
  5. At the FIRST SCREEN (which is in Chinese of course..) pick the SECOND option (package only)
  6. [color=blue]DO NOT INSTALL THE PAX DRIVERS[/color]. I have not gotten them to work effectively with my system yet..but I know Classic Leon is workin on that...
  7. Follow the instructions from the rest of this post after you select the SECOND option [color=black]http://driverheaven.net/showthread.php?t=66414&page=1&pp=15[/color]....and you can rename the wdma10k1.inf if you want as well
  8. When you customize the installation of the Audigy ZS software..[color=blue]DO NOT CHECK THE "Windows Drivers" BOX[/color]! Not good.
  9. CMSS will not work...if anyone has been able to get this to work. LET ME KNOW. I have tried everything I think I know how.....
I have NOT updated the AudigyZS software..such as "Diagnostics","Speaker Settings"..whatever. It all works just fine without the headache of another update you would have to CtComp.....

Of course this could get better over time..but this is what has worked for me...let me know if it helps you out.

humeyboy is on a distinguished road

After i realised i was hitting wrong install as it was audigy 2 not Zs as i got a Zs lol, im fine only glitch is minidisc centre will pop up a error when i close it, not that i even use it but something others may use.

I installed the seperate 1.2 new year driver as i read here it was best to do, then i reboot and install the new pax with all extrs but no entertainment centre as i not got PLAT, i then let the updates update all apps and reboot, im very very very happy best ive had out this buggy crap ZS but bass is not perfect yet still a thud no boom but i blame these crappy creative 7.1 speakers, i may try my old exellent cambridge soundworks 5.1 set.

XibaD is on a distinguished road

Well, finally is the famous Live 2005 NewYear going to be released or the whole project has been cancelled at all? Somebody knows it?

Anyway, for NOW I recommend installing the PaX newyear instead of the ULTRA ones, because these last ones give a lot of problems with EAX enabled in games (ex. Unreal's, Max Payne 2, Far Cry... the ones I have tested)

Thankx

Hi Pianomanx,

I followed your instructions and tried to install the drivers on my Live 5.1 (SB0100). They did work, but there was an error message about a DLL when starting AudioHQ (I really should have written down the details - sorry).

In the end I uninstalled evereything, went for the .444 drivers (excellent sound quality over the 2.252 ones I used to use), and kept the applications bundled with the 252s. So far, so good .

I'd just like to say thanks for the tip on the .444s - they're really quite good and have sorted out a few of my crackling problems (I think). [I have the evil KT133 chipset ].

Now I'm just waiting for the next set of Live compatible drivers which we have been promised. Keep up the good work guys!

mercurysquad is on a distinguished road

Hey I just wanted to say thanks for this package. I have an SB Live Value CT4830 (don't laugh. You know what?)

Right now I'm using 252 drivers that came with the package. Does anyone know if upgrading to 444 drivers will have any advantage? I used 444 before I installed this pack.
