temperamental sound on Live 5.1!

Mr Brownstone · Mar 11, 2007, 11:28 PM

Ok... sorry about the noob bash in advance...

I got a E-Machines E4076 tower with a ATI X300 graphics card installed including my beloved Creative 5.1 Live! sound card.

I have windows vista Business installed.

At first I tried the NGO drivers. They worked but only gave me 2.1, I was told to try the KX drivers. And they are amazing. I get all 5.1 working fine on vista. woop

...

But! It is really temperamental! It seems to be if I leave the computer without playing any sounds, the driver will stop working and I will get no output. Also if I play music and close it and start a game the sound card sometimes just die.

The only way I have been able to get them to work again is to Hibernate the computer or restart. (Which takes bloody ages!)

I am currently using the Beta at the moment (Version: 5, 10, 00, 3538 - debug)

Any Ideas?

Vista support for KX is beta - and there are known issues, have a look in the KX GENERAL forum for the vista threads.
If you feel KX has this as a bug - post your problem in the the KX V3538M thread - as so, the developer can easily see all the problems in 1 thread and not scattered about.

Good luck
