Platinum Pro

I friend made this comment:"I really wish Kx would fix the Line In 3 on the Platinum Pro, because I'd like to switch to the Kx drivers, just to see how they work."
Anyone know the status of this?

Thanks

On my SB0090 AudigyPlayer it works fine. Which model number you speak about?

Hi, I'm Gary, and I'm the guy Silvertones spoke of. It is an Audigy2 Platinum Pro, I have two of them, a standard Audigy 2, and a Audigy2ZS Notebook.

I've heard about Kx for a few years now, but have never investigated it. I took a look at some of the stuff, and my head went round and round in circles! I get a feeling that I'm going to feel a lot like Alice once she fell down the rabbit hole.

I think that most of this was precipitated by this last weekend, and I've will not buy or recommend Creative products in the future, but for what I have now, I would like to get the most out of them.

I have very Pro level A/D and D/A converters externally, which my stuff runs through, and I have a M-Audio 2496 for the S/PDIF I/O on that unit only, I won't use the converters there. I am told that the Creative does SRC on everything to 48kHz, including 48kHz signals. I don't want that, I want to be able to put either optical or coaxial into the DSP and get out of the DSP what sample rate I put in.

I suspect I have a lot of learning to do. For now, maybe not having the Line IN doesn't matter, but I would like to see it.

I'll take any suggestions you can offer.

Regards,

Gary

no matter what you do, the DSP on the audigy chips WILL resample all audio that goes into it, so if you don't want that, get a semi-pro/pro soudncard

The question is: will you notice the resampling thing with your ears?! If not, where is the problem? I do audio-productions for years, all with Audigy and Audigy2 cards and the quality is absolutely fine - I think. The kX-driver will help you to get the most out of your cards - it´s flexible and expandable in an incomparable way
