Support Q's: X-Fi, 64bit?

NuSkooler · Jan 10, 2007, 10:09 PM

I have two questions reguarding support with the kX Project drivers:

1) Is the X-Fi series cards supported? I have a Sound Blaster X-Fi Platinum. The drivers from Creative (as many of you already know I'm sure) have a huge conflict issue with the nForce 4 chip/drivers. I've heard that the kX Project drivers do not have this problem.

2) I also run Windows XP Pro (64-bit) and will most likely fairly soon update to Windows Vista 64-bit. Is the 64-bit platform supported?

Forgive me if I'm asking dumb questions, I did not see either of these mentioned in the FAQ nor can I find a search button on the forums to see if it's been answered

Thanks!

Sorry, no on both.
Please read the kX project status (Sep'2006) thread, as well as the kX and Soundblaster X-Fi thread, for more info.

So the good news is x64 is [planned to be] worked on, the bad news is that X-Fi support is possibly not going to happen (ever?!).

That's a real shame about the X-Fi support. Creative (many times unfortunantly, IMO) is the big dog when it comes to PC audio cards and X-Fi is the next generation -- lack of X-Fi support to me, seems to make kX almost a dead end (sorry, no offense, it's Creative's bad, not yours). Hopefully Creative releases the needed specs/documentation!

Are there any pensions/etc. that I could participate in to put the pressure on Creative?
