3550 released - x86 and x64

Tyrsonswood · Sep 15, 2010, 03:27 AM

What I was referring to were APS MIDI port drivers, maybe from their site or a driver disk...... I don't have an EMU card so I'm not sure how their MIDI port is configured. Creative cards work with nothing additional for XP..... not sure about Win7 64 bit though.

I am having trouble installing 3550 X86. This computer has sound on the motherboard, but I have disabled it in the BIOS. The card is an Audigy 2 ZS, I have never installed any driver for this card in this machine.

What I did:

1) I downloaded the complete package for X86
2) I made a restore point.
3) I ran the setup program.
4) At the end, the program told me to now reboot, with some additional instructions.
5) When I reboot, I get a message that the sound card initialization failed.

The driver appears to be installed. In the Device Manager, the card is reported as kX 10k2 Audio (3550 - Generic, and the driver version is 5.10.0.3550, with date of 9/17/2009 and provider Eugene Gavrilov.

I have tried reinstalling it, but without success. If any one has some idea to help, I would be so very grateful to you.

Thanks a lot,
Scott

Try to pull the card out and put it in again or try another PCI slot. A2ZS should work fine with kX, have one here. What is the OS you are using?

Hi TravelRec,

I'm using WindowsXP Pro. The firewire driver for that card gets installed, so I think the card is seated properly, but I will try some other positions.

Thanks a lot.

The 3550 x64 release generates severe memory leaks on my system, a Windows XP Pro (64 bits) with the SP2 (and some updates). Depending of the situation, the computer can totally freeze as the hard drive begin to work at full speed, without stopping even after a long time. This behaviour can happen at any moment, but it appear sooner when I use Mumble or Audacity. Also, the system is very long to start when this driver is installed, with the same harddrive behaviour, except that it last one minute only.

A small memory leak can be examinated by launching Dead Space (I play sometimes ^^) : After I left the game, the memory is not totally released. If I relaunch it, I lose more memory, and I can retry it all the time with the same consequence, until I have to reboot because of a memory shortage.

All of this don't happen with the Creative driver (but it has annoying bugs instead that I don't have with kX, especialy with the micro and the wave setting).

Just to update it.

It seems that it happens anyway whatever the XP 64 used.

I tried with 3 CDs of XP 64 SP2 :
- An home-made updated CDs that I made by nLite
- 5eraph's Windows XP x64 post-SP2 Update Pack (a pack of updates) + nLite <<< To cover the "I am doing the updates wrong" possibility
- An original XP 64 SP2, so no updates.

The kX driver versions used was 3548 and 3550, and the others drivers installed was ATI Catalyst, ATI SMBUS, and the one for the network (Realtek). The hardware is an Asus M4A79XTD Evo as the motherboard (with internal sound chip disabled), a Phenom II X4 955 (BE), 4 Gb Ram, a Radeon 5770, with an Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS.

In all cases, I get memory leaks, and sometimes the computer can be frozen because Windows fill all the free space he can as virtual memory, making me lose control of the system.

As I get the same problem with the original CD, there is something wrong. I don't know if it is because a conflict with the others drivers (according to the hardware manager, all is fine) or kX itself, but I failed to find a solution. I don't have the knowledge to track it.

Actually, the only way for me to use kX, is to return on XP 32.

Hy guys,
So now that this current driver version is compatible with all the current windows versions, there is no more updates coming out?
I do think that there are many more bugs to fix, and new features to add. Can`t think of any at the moment. I`m quite pleased with the current status, but it has to evolve else it will be forgotten and it will die, and I don`t want that to happen.
KX is amazing.

Cheers y`all,
Ivan.
