known issues:
lots of
share your experience
-- a lot of code was (re-)written, that's why bugs are expected...

todo before "3538 final" is out:
* 24/96 asio
* audigy2 ac3 passthru [fixes some bugs with decoders]

work in progress [might be finished when 3538 final is out]:
* gsif2-compliant driver
* soundfont support for >32Mb samples
* newer hardware support
* asio latency improvements for SMP/HT and Pentium 2/3 machines

please note: I cannot promise any release dates, nor can I be sure the particular feature is ever implemented or a bug is fixed. in most cases, it is absolutely useless to ask me 'when' (and, sometimes, even 'why' )

installation:
save your settings in a file before installation;
if you have any 3538 release installed - uninstall it;
if you have any 3537 or earlier release, you may keep it;
install only -full- version, since any pre-3538 releases won't be upgraded properly by the 3538-update package;

note:
elder DSP effects (.KXL-based) aren't compatible with the new driver release;
elder skins might work incorrectly with the new driver release;
kXU is not supported by 3538c at the moment;
some of your settings might not get restored properly;

before you download the driver:
think twice if you ever need to upgrade. this is a development release, not for generic public. if you don't know what 'debug' means, if you don't know what 'asio' means, if you mainly play EAX games or watch DVDs -- DO NOT INSTALL 3538c!..

reporting bugs:
1. if you face any issues/find any bugs -- post a message (this thread). if you see the same report, do NOT duplicate your reports (unless asked to confirm). 2. if you think the issue might require discussion, start a new thread. don't forget to add '3538c' to the header of the thread. 3. do NOT simply post 'great. it works'.

please avoid any off-topics!

P.S.
kX is not dead I really plan to finish 3538 before the end of the year. I would be happy if kX users participate in the project: for instance, the translators might check if 3538's translations are up-to-date [btw, any volunteers for new languages, such as Finnish?], people could also update the skins to be compatible with 3538; if you have written any DSP effects for kX, re-build them with the newer SDK and contact me. review once again 'contribute' page of our site.

P.P.S.
as you might have probably noticed, I don't browse the forums regularly anymore. I really hope kX Users will keep supporting each other and sharing experience. I would like to ask you: if there were any important messages, bug reports, suggestions, skin/effect-links, additional documentation etc.. posted and not commented by me (for the last 6-8 months), please contact me. I hope when I say 'important' this can be understood properly
if you noticed any bugs in the site links, FAQ, knowledgebase, help file etc.., or if you think some things are to be added to the FAQ, knowledgebase etc.. please contact dj_stick.

P.P.P.S.
I really hope the new SDK will stimulate 3-rd party development. if you have any SDK suggestions, feel free to contact me.

P.P.P.P.S.:
if you have enough time, if you are an experienced(!) Web developer and are familiar with PHP, if you are familiar with kX, -- and are willing to help me with online preset exchange system, please contact me.

P.P...S:
when I say 'contact me', I mean - send me an e-mail (preferred) or a private message. please do NOT send me any support-related questions! I receive a lot of e-mails daily with practically the same questions -- I really cannot spend a lot of time on answering 'how do I make my mic work' questions!..

ufff... I hope I haven't forgot anything important as I've already mentioned many-many times, for any -freeware- project, it is vital to keep it going by participating in it. what one, two, five, ten people won't manage to do, one hundred people will do. review the 'contribute' page of our site and ask yourself, if there's anything you can do. I'm very grateful to all the kX forum users who monitor the forum and support kX users. and I'm sure the project still has the potential for future expansion

Great works
thanks
trying it
感谢上帝，终于出新的了

Eugene Gavrilov

oops

guys, I really appreciate your posts 'thanks' and 'great', but I suggest we don't convert this sticky post in a list of 'thanks' it will make the thread useless.

ok?

p.s.
however, feel free to start a new thread "especially for thanks"

Robert McClelland

dj_stick

the last model number of the card generally means nothing, so it's basically the same

i got problems downloading it, every time i download it, it is a bit bigger
first had 500kb, second 550kb, third 570kb

could you download it to a second server?
and maybee tell us the full file size and md5sum?

edit: i tried with 2 inet connections, 2 browsers and bash-wget

The file is probably just being uploaded as we speak. Try again a little later.

Tiger M

The full distribution is 4.8mb and I'm shure that E. has uploaded it before he made this post.

Miss you, Steve...

Eugene Gavrilov

important!

yes, the file is being updated at the moment
for people who have downloaded the 'full' version before 1'Dec, 03:00pm GMT (18:00 GMT+3), you will need to re-download it, since the version of your driver is incorrect.

how to check: systray -> about: if you see "kX Audio Driver, kX Mixer (Release)", you need to re-download the file

sorry for inconveniences

3538 Full is still corrupt and doesn't work - it has only 1.25mb

smasha

Just got home to read the forums here and see 3538c released but can't seem to download.

aah well I can wait-

Thank You Eugene.

JohnMcClane

I've just posted some news at different websites (eg. warp2search.net, nvinside.de (forum), guru3d.com (forum))

Let's make some advertisement for kx

Rogacz

if anyone can send me the file via email i will host it on my ftp and post the link here (if thats ok for eugene) got 5gb traffic limit that should be enough for 5mb drivers

smasha

All aboard the kX bus-where's the driver?

Eugene Gavrilov

LOL

===
the full version of the driver is not yet available
you can probably try to install 'update' release meanwhile (note the order of the files mentioned above)

correct file sizes (3538c release, 'debug' version):

01.12.2004 5 287 491 kxdrv3538-full.exe

01.12.2004 707 183 kxdrv3538-libs.exe
01.12.2004 1 970 619 kxdrv3538-update.exe
01.12.2004 1 193 340 kxdrv3538-help.exe
01.12.2004 632 295 kxdrv3538-fxpack.exe
01.12.2004 509 039 kxdrv3538-sdk.exe

But what should I do if I actualy have Audigy 2 ZS cracked for Audigy 2 drivers installed? Shall I install 3537 first and then apply update or what?

__________________

smasha

I used to have the audigy zx (whatever they're called )drivers and uninstalled them through add / remove programs in control panel.
Then I used Driver Cleaner to wipe them out then whatever was in the Driver Cleaner "not found section",I located and deleted.

I installed the 3538 alphas then applied all these in order:

01.12.2004 707 183 kxdrv3538-libs.exe
01.12.2004 1 970 619 kxdrv3538-update.exe
01.12.2004 1 193 340 kxdrv3538-help.exe
01.12.2004 632 295 kxdrv3538-fxpack.exe
01.12.2004 509 039 kxdrv3538-sdk.exe

Seems to be working fine.

All the new plugins are there and the new asio drivers with the 24 bit tabs although I get buffer errors trying to load the 24 bit drivers in my host sequencer-the standard 16 bit/48k work fine(I don't think 24 bit is implemented fully yet.)

Eugene Gavrilov

what is your e-mail address?

RvC-Kenny

ok here is the link

http://www.ciminski.de/simon/kx/kxdrv3538-full.exe

Eugene Gavrilov

the original link should work fine now.

Hi, I'm currently using the latest 3537 with the Ufx package.

Can (or should) I uninstall these before updating?
( atm. I'm just using GainX and G10 Mixer)

as Eugene stated, old Plugins won't work

BiCho

couldn't open MX6, but I could using 3538 alpha. what happened?

I have problem with rear output - it still doesn't work. I try v 3537 and 3538. Any signal come out.
And if I load Dynamics processor in dsp, it doesn't work properly - crash and not working anyway.
SB Live! 0220
I have PIII, 750Mhz, 256RAM
WIN2000
Thanks for answers :-)
However kx are really best audio drivers :-)

BiCho

Sorry, I didn't notice about this, I did what is says and it worked!

You should add the changelog to the installer, and please do one with the changes since 3538a

great work!
