* Fixed a compatibility issue with Windows 7 <-- Care to explain exactly which issue? Perhaps the kxmixer.exe not loading by default unless you ran in Vista comp. mode?

Anyway thanks once again for your awesome work! I bet 5.1 users will like this one with Master Mixer hopefully working now.

I would install it right away but I'm a bit busy, will try later or tomorrow, just had to show my appriciation.

**Eugene Gavrilov** · Jul 29, 2009, 12:25 AM

win7: yes, you no longer need to run it in vista compatibility mode

Russ · Jul 29, 2009, 02:37 AM

Thanks E.

Just installed 3548 x86, so I have not done much testing as of yet, but no problems so far (WinXP).

---
3rd party plugins (kxl) and addons (kxa) from previous (x86) SDK versions are not compatible with 3548 x86 (including UFX and ProFX).

imperia · Jul 29, 2009, 11:22 AM

Windows 7 Compatibility - Very nice. Thanks E.

mr_duke · Jul 29, 2009, 01:56 PM

Thanks Eugene!

BTW, does the new driver address the issue with >2G RAM?

c0nstantine · Jul 29, 2009, 06:08 PM

yes, what about ">4Gb RAM" bug!? =)

gooday · Jul 29, 2009, 08:36 PM

OK, I'll try it right away. Win 7 compliable is not so hard I think, cos the driver architecture is very much like the Vista. I'm using 3539 and hack the startup kxmixer.exe in reg, just worked pretty good.

Are you sure that it was the x86 version of 3548 that you tried to install?

MegaByte · Jul 30, 2009, 09:13 AM

Congratulations! Now sound is as clear as it was in windows xp x64. However, the sampling rate in my emu10k1 still cannot be selected. It's set to 48hkz default and cannot be changed.

Furthermore, sound redirection seems to have no effect.

Ahh, OK, when you said it was unable to install, I assumed that you meant that it wouldn't run, or gave you an error or something... not that it installed but did not detect your card model correctly...

I think the problem is with the subsystem ID. It seems that kX does not recognize it... Is it an OEM model? Does it not work?

c0nstantine · Jul 30, 2009, 10:25 AM

Russ, will my SB live! 5.1 SB0220 normally work on win7 x64, if I have 4Gb RAM?

No oem model....earlier it worked ......but, after installing post sp3 updates ,it is not recognising the card....even original creative didnot install...

The card is OK, but I think the RAM is going to be a problem (but you may get lucky, some people do (if windows creates the buffers below 2 GB, then it will work, but even so, it may only be temporary)).

It sounds like something happened to the EEPROM. (I think the subsystem ID for SB0100 is 80621102, so yours seems to be off by 1 number). Even so, I think kX should work OK.

any quick solution???

Russ · Jul 30, 2009, 10:44 AM

Well, you could try re-seating the card in the PCI slot (maybe it is just not seated right (i.e. maybe it came loose when connecting a cable, etc)). Beyond that there is no quick fix that I know of.

thank you...let me try

Trax · Aug 2, 2009, 05:08 AM

Still have irritating noise on my SB 0228 on Windows 7 x86 rc1 with 4gb ram. Will it be fixed?
Can the problem be solved with installing Windows 7 x64?

Had that happen several times to me

Taking card out, putting back in solves it

easier way though (if it's seated properly as mentioned above) ... power down, disconnect power, press power button with power disconnected (drains any power in capacitors, apparently), wait about 30 seconds ... reconnect power cord and power up

Did you try using Wave 4/5 output or setup the DSP accordingly?

Astal · Aug 3, 2009, 01:05 PM

tried using Wave 4/5,no luck
but what do u mean by " setup it accordingly",anything specific i need to do so it will play from Wave 4/5?

peate · Aug 3, 2009, 01:49 PM

I'm not sure about notebook installation, but did you uncheck the swap front and rear speakers option on the main page of the mixer?

dtr · Aug 3, 2009, 11:21 PM

do you plan to make versions of KX for creative x-fi series ?

SilentSource · Aug 4, 2009, 03:51 PM

Hi and thanks for the update!

However I haven't gotten it to work with my Audigy 2 ZS card (SB0350 10k2 [e880]).

The driver installs without any problems, but have no sound whatsoever.

I tried changing to Wave Out 4/5, but no luck.

I'm running Windows 7 Build 7600.16385 (RTM) x64.

kX native · Aug 4, 2009, 04:48 PM

Thanks for Update!!

SB0220 installed as kX 10k1 (3548) Generic
first PCI slot at p35 with 2gb and XP SP3, all seems to be OK.
