You should really think about setting up a torrent for this download. I would hate to see your bandwidth go down big time, and I would be willing to keep a near-permanent seed.

i think the problems some of you have is because you are installing it by extracting the iso into a folder instead of mounting it like a real cd-rom or burning it.

I also noticed that it tends to slow if you have any other cd-roms in there while installing. For some reason it depends on the cd-rom a lot.

All of the feature work well for me, no problems. I installed them with with the default drivers they came with. But I also got more functionality with the beta audigy 4 drivers that YouP will soon be releasing. Just wait a while.

oh, yeah, and just to prove that it works.. here is my install using the default drivers from the iso. I mounted the iso using daemon tools and then installed it. No errors.

No, it is not working flawlessly with mounting the ISO with d-tools. Just like swat my mixer and speaker settings refuse to start. I'll play with it some more after work.

Just d/led these, burned them with nero and installed them. First off, Speaker Settings and Surround Mixer didn't work after the first reboot. I removed them, and installed those two again. Now it works, but everytime I close Speaker Settings, I get an error in nt.dll Another weird thing I've noticed, where the heck is the speaker calibrator? I need to calibrate my system for the optimal DVD-A playback and in Speaker Settings, it's just not there....Does anyone have it? Are we supposed to have it there or the Audigy 4 is "so advanced" that it doesnt need it?

That's what I was thinking too but I didn't have time to try it as I was already late for work this morning. Will try when I get home. I'm hoping it works as it did for sovietdoc. Will get back to this thread and monitor it during the day and then post my findings this evening. Maybe it is a driver issue which will be recified with the new drivers which will be out on the 1st.

Anyhow, cheers for everyone involved.

Just for information's sake: when I press the mixer button it pops up an error message saying my hardware isn't supported.

Previous drivers and applications has conflicted each other. You gotta remove drivers also before installation.

Do I need to uninstall previous drivers to use this, or can I simply "upgrade" ?
