Unofficial SB Audigy Series Software CD (Rev 2) for
Windows 2000 / XP / Server 2003 / Vista (32/64-bit)
by Daniel Kawakami
Fully integrated and automated install, supporting Windows 2000, XP, Server 2003, Vista (32-bit and 64-bit), installs proper drivers. Includes all latest software available.
It is MANDATORY to disable UAC (User Account Control) before installing the package on Windows Vista (specially the 64-bit version).
Revision 2 release notes:
- Removed "Diagnostics" from 64-bit systems.
- "Smart Recorder" for Windows XP now works with MP3 files and has a more friendly "My Recordings" interface.
- Includes "MP3 write" codec, the latest free version included in Audigy CDs, doesn't work with WaveStudio 7, though.
- Updated the Windows Vista driver to ver 2.15.0002.2 (build 6.0.01.1302), latest version for X-Fi which also works with Audigy cards.
- Removed old WHQL driver and non-WHQL multilanguage driver to save space.
- "Creative Engine" installer and modules updated. Installers of applications using this engine were updated as well.
- Do NOT use this new CD to uninstall or add components of a previous installation, remove the old version completely before using this new version (see note above).
Known "Windows Vista only" issues (so far):
- "Speaker Settings" crashes during uninstall; just close the "Windows encountered a problem" and uninstall will proceed.
- Environment presets acts as Karaoke presets (effects are applied to Microphone).
- Advanced EQ and Special FX presets are available through "EAX Settings" application. You can edit and save the presets, but you can't delete or edit them once saved.
Known issues:
- The Microphone controls may be disabled in Karaoke player. Just use the Windows Mixer and "EAX Settings" / "EAX Console" and to adjust the Microphone volume and effects, respectively.
- Do not install Entertainment Center unless you have one of the supported remote controls (RM-900, RM-1000, RM-1500, RM-1800), otherwise it is useless.
