You will never make from Audigy the X-FI. It's impossible. The drivers which people use are not the X-fi drivers, they are only updated Audigy drivers.

BTW, it's strange that Creative didn't publish these drivers for other soundcards on their support page.

Widkidone · Aug 26, 2005, 12:44 PM

i have to agree with you about why wouldn't Creative post these to support other cards. But yeah i am thinking of giving these Version: 2.07.0003.2 a whirl once i get home from work.

Floruro · Aug 26, 2005, 12:53 PM

Guess what on the linkpage at Station-Drivers they have messed up.
The two links have been swopped around. Hold the mousebutton over the filedownload and youll see what i mean (bottom one should be top etc).
Will try the other driver later!

Floruro · Aug 26, 2005, 02:25 PM

I just tested both, and performance in BF2 seems the same in both, but the soundquality on creative-audigy-5.12.06.1161-win32-64-whql.exe is very tinny (just specifying filename since they got the links wrong). It sounds like every sound is played off a string instrument.

I am keeping creative-audigy-xfi-5.12.02.1143-2kxp-whql.exe installed for now. Hope PAX can modify these so that we get great gaming AND musicquality!

gkl · Aug 26, 2005, 02:58 PM

Uhhh, so if I install these drivers, the modded Audigy4 software SHOULD work ok, right?

EDIT
If I don't play BF2, is it actually worth installing these?

Floruro · Aug 26, 2005, 03:13 PM

I use the A4 software with my A2ZS, so it should work yes.
I havent tried much with other stuff than BF2, so ill see later. I watched some DVDs last night though and they seemed very good.

-=Talus=- · Aug 26, 2005, 03:30 PM

Just thought I'd chime in.

Doom 3 still works great with EAX and Advanced HD and the 1.3 patch with these latest drivers.

@Widkidone
Also, nobody has claimed to turn their Audigy 1/2 into an X-Fi...hopefully by now you understand that Audigy 1 and Audigy 2 drivers were included in this for-X-Fi-only release.

Widkidone · Aug 26, 2005, 03:42 PM

yeah i just figured that out, thanks... but it would be kinda cool if we could use that hidden X-Fi feature in Bf2 with these heehee.

-=Talus=- · Aug 26, 2005, 04:08 PM

Yup..total crying shame that those X-Fi cards are so blasted expensive.

I'm hoping an OEM version or something will be released sometime in the near future that will give at least all of the X-Fi functionality like the EAX5 and 3DAudio .. just without the pricey RAM or the bay slots that I don't need or want.

Widkidone · Aug 27, 2005, 12:14 AM

are there any audigy 4 drivers that recent;ly been release that can be modded to my Audigy 2 ZS because what i would like to do is to test this X-Fi and the audigy 4 drivers ( if there are anything can be modded to the audigy 2's)

Floruro · Aug 27, 2005, 03:52 AM

What is actually the benifit of using a4 drivers over a2 anyways in general? Isnt the soundquality different because of the A4s DACs?

(btw wikid. get another gig of ram. with your gfx card youll have max settings NO stutter

)

Widkidone · Aug 27, 2005, 07:16 AM

i am planning of getting 2GB more of Ram heehee

AznAnarchy99 · Aug 27, 2005, 08:41 AM

Could someone help me install these? I have an Audigy 2 ZS and i downloaded and ran the setup.exe and the Driver Uilitily poped up. Do i pick driver installation and just go over my old sound drivers and do i check "Overwrite existing shared Creative audio driver files"?

Widkidone · Aug 27, 2005, 08:48 AM

AznAnarchy99 here you go!

First i would thank Talus from TotalBattlefield2 http://www.totalbf2.com/

This is simple:

Simply download the drivers from here:
[color=#0000ff]http://us.creative.com/support/downl...ame=Windows+XP[/color]

Then use WinRAR or WinZip to decompress the contents of the file to a directory on your hard drive.
e.g. c:\temp\X-Fi Drivers

Right-click on My Computer and select 'Manage'.

In the left pane of the window the comes up, select 'Device Manager'.

Scroll down on the right to 'Sound,video and game Controllers'.

Look for the entry for your card.
e.g. Creative SB Audigy

Right-click the entry and select 'Update Driver...'

Check off 'No, not this time', and hit 'Next'.

Check off 'Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)', and hit 'Next'.

Check 'Don't Search.I will choose the driver to install', and hit 'Next'.

Hit 'Have Disk...'

Click 'Browse', and browse to this subfolder where you decompressed the file earlier:
e.g. C:\temp\X-Fi Drivers\SBXF_PCDRV_LB_2_07_0003\Drivers\wdm

or

(From Talus) In my haste I failed to find another simple way of installing the drivers:

-go to the \Drivers\support\i386 subdirectory of the driver archive
-run ctzapxx.exe

Then click 'Open' and the rest should install by itself.

Reboot when the computer asks you to.

Floruro · Aug 27, 2005, 02:33 PM

No its not that difficult Widkid

AznAnarchy just tick the option to overwrite driver files and install.
You should use the same tool to uninstall and tick the option to delete all creative shared files first though (and reboot) before installing.

AznAnarchy99 · Aug 27, 2005, 09:57 PM

thanks will do. I pretty much never touch anything but video drivers since there are rarely any new creative drivers

Edit. Got them installed. I noticed in BF2, EAX + High + Software works but EAX + High + Hardware doesnt?

Floruro · Aug 28, 2005, 01:57 AM

Strange. I have been running with eax+high+hardware all the time with no problems, regardless of different drivers. Maybe try an uninstall and reinstall.

Robert McClelland · Aug 28, 2005, 02:18 AM

Well I went other way hack so far I love the drivers nice and louder

np with them.

DarkShadow19 · Aug 28, 2005, 07:33 AM

So is version 5.12.02.1143 from station drivers the same as the X-fi drivers released by creative?

Floruro · Aug 28, 2005, 12:18 PM

Yes it seems that way, but with "official" support for the Audigy cards..

Cool thanks.

compunoob · Aug 28, 2005, 05:35 PM

Guess I am just to much of a chicken shit to try them. Why hasnt creative put these on there site for DL for us A2 ZS people?

Floruro · Aug 28, 2005, 05:51 PM

I have no idea. Guess they are more focused on getting the x-fi out than driverupdates for us atm.
Try them. I am very happy with them + many others too. Havent heard of any ppl with problems yet.

BONEHEAD · Aug 28, 2005, 06:12 PM

Just installed and working fine with A4 software. Now creative will stop support on all Audigy cards now that they have the X-FI. At least that seams to be there track record release new product stop support for all other.

GoToSleep · Aug 29, 2005, 05:39 AM

I have an Audigy 2 ZS.....The site has the top one listed as :

Drivers version 5.12.06.1161 pour audigy2/4/X-Fi sous Windows 2000/Xp, WHQL [color=red]new[/color]

Drivers version 5.12.02.1143 pour Audigy2/4 sous Windows 2000/Xp 32/64bits, WHQl

When I hit download the titles come up backwards in the DL is says the 1161 is for 32/64 bt Windows and the 1141 is the other. Which one is it.

Stephen M. Smit · Aug 29, 2005, 09:22 AM

You want the 1st one you list for your ZS (Drivers version 5.12.06.1161 pour audigy2/4/X-Fi). The other one appears to work but it also installs a bunch of TSR's (check task manager) that are only applicable to the X-Fi.

Floruro · Aug 29, 2005, 01:04 PM

I am currently using the 5.12.02.1143, since the 1161s soundquality was not as good for me.Also, the 1161 are based on a newer version (2.800) than the 2.700 that the x-fi drivers are based on.Either performed the same in BF2. I just removed the TSRs from startup from the registry that apply for the x-fi.Try the 1161 if you are not comfy with editing the registry.

Tappy · Aug 29, 2005, 07:26 PM

I am currently using the modified A4 drivers on my A2ZS. It seems from the postings of this thread that this driver (X-Fi)you are talking about is more for people mainly into gaming. I am primary using for recording. Are there any advantage of using this driver?

lag0a · Aug 30, 2005, 09:05 PM

does these x-fi drivers have asio support?

adam217 · Sep 1, 2005, 09:46 PM

I was using the YouP-PAX 2005 NewYear drivers and software on my A2zs, upgraded to the 1143's, and BF2 does sound and work better and noticed no negetives in CS:S. There is one problem that I ran into though, the EAX console and the EQ will not work any more. Anybody know what versions would work with this, and where I might find it, or am I better off going back to the A2 supplied software?

The other one appears to work but it also installs a bunch of TSR's (check task manager) that are only applicable to the X-Fi.

I just removed the TSRs from startup from the registry that apply for the x-fi.Try the 1161 if you are not comfy with editing the registry. __________________ AMD64 3500+\| Abit AV8 3rd Eye \| 2x 1024 OCZ Gold pc4000@500mhz \| HIS x800 XT PE IceQII \| X-Fi Fatal1ty \| Logitech z5500 \| Antec Trueblue v2.0 480

It seems from the postings of this thread that this driver (X-Fi)you are talking about is more for people mainly into gaming. I am primary using for recording. Are there any advantage of using this driver? __________________ Computer: P4 2.8 GHz 512M RAM WIN XP Professional Audigy 2 ZS, Platinum Software: Sonar 3 Cubasis (supplied with soundcard) Cool Edit

There is one problem that I ran into though, the EAX console and the EQ will not work any more. Anybody know what versions would work with this, and where I might find it, or am I better off going back to the A2 supplied software?
