Owch, my ears

Using SB Audidy 2, installed this driver when I found the updated one from creative caused my mic to transmit nothing but static over teamspeak.

After changing settings around, the mic works with the KX drivers over TS.

However I now get jumpy sound, pops and generally unpleasant glitches especially when playing a game. Music jumps ahead, multiple sounds being played seem to trigger the popping and crackling noises. I also have 4 similarly-named but seemingly different output devices to choose from, which is just confusing.

Any advice? I don't want to have to dig out the SB CD and stick the old drivers back on.

ok for audio, generall use wave 0/1, as that is the master, 4/5 is fornt, 6/7 is rear and 8/9 is sub/centre

btw for the mic issues,… maybe this should help http://kb.kxproject.com/guide/index.html

Thanks for the reply, even though that link doesn't work I just guessed my way to the documents page on the kx home site.

tbh I think I'll take this driver off and find the original creative drivers that were working before. All I want from my soundcard is to sound nice and work properly with minimum fuss, these drivers seem heavily heared toward PC audiophiles and musicians. Not for me I don't think, I'm not that interested in the inner workings of my soundcard and the tweaking features of the KX - put it on because it was recommended to me to fix the mic issue with TS. Got a bit more than I expected.

sorry the link is http://kb.kxproject.lugosoft.com/guide/index.html… new site i keep forgetting the URL

Ah, from what it says there it looks like I might be able to eliminate the pops by raising the latency a bit.

Although this depends entirely on whether or not I can find the AIO control panel screenshotted here...

the ASIO control panel can be obtained bt rightclicking on the mixer, selecting settings, and then selecting ASIO control panel

Thanks, I'll try that when I stop the reinstalled kx drivers from bluescreening my system.

I'd forgotten how much fun drivers can be :P
