Im using these UAA1.5 still, for over 1 year and never had any serious issues, plus it has 64bit bit support etc..

There are no sound tweaks in any of DK packs... that was with PAX suites but last time i asked him about these tweaks he said he's gonna drop them.


Well UAA is a little better because of better win vista/win7 support compared to WDM, its still wdm once you install it but there is something specific about them, i dont really know atm..




@Pill

you sure its not for Audigy and XFI might have a problem?

I have the same card as this (I think), it came out of a Lenovo ThinkStation S10 and has "SB0770" written on the board and "SB0772" in the serial number.

I have tried using the X-Fi Support Pack 2.0 drivers as it states that it supports the OEM models from Dell, Lenovo etc. but I get terrible sound quality (clicks, hisses, pops and general distortion).

The only drivers I have tried that give me good quality sound are the Vista drivers from the Lenovo site but then CMSS-3D does not work so I can not get surround sound when listening to music (I do get surround sound when watching TV or movies with 5.1 audio).

Please can someone advise me as to the best driver pack to install for this card?

Many thanks, Sim

Thanks for the swift response!

I tried this pack a couple of days ago and just got no sound, I'll give it another go using the updated driver and let you know how I get on.

Cheers, Sim

[Sim Perks]

Ok, tried the updated driver and get the same issue with distortion/clicks/pops etc. as I did with the Support Pack 2.0 drivers.

I also get this issue if I let Windows Update search for drivers or if I use the drivers from Creative using auto detect (This was tried when I first rebuilt my PC to Win7).

I think I might be forced to give up on this and either go back to the Vista drivers and live without surround sound for my music, or buy a new sound card that has decent support for Windows 7 x64. Can anyone recommend a 7.1 card with Toslink I/O for Win7x64?

Many thanks, Sim

[TheHunter]

something like auzentech forte 7.1

but i think it would be better if you make a new topic about it

No. You shouldn't run Windows 7 (x64? x86?) at all.

I'll give it a try.
I get BSOD-s on XP every time I play some new game.
Friend said (he also has old computer) than Win 7 solved all his problems, no BSOD and glitches.
But, I don't have sound driver.
Can you tell me is this right driver for me : C- media Ac97 version 5.12.1.51.

It doesn't look like there is a Win 7 driver for your soundcard, but according to the poster in that forum, the 8738 5.12.1.51 drivers work with your card...

Have a look here also: http://www.station-drivers.com/page/cmedia.htm

X-Fi PCI Series Driver v2.17.0008B (update 2)



Changes for "Rev. B":

- Fixed OpenAL support for 64-bit OSes.

Remove the C:\Windows\System32\Data folder if it still exist.

now that i spotted this driver i tested it right away and its much better then A revision, also its newer then default UAA 1.5 driver 2.14 vs 2.17 by rev A, B.
I used original UAA 1.5 driver combined with sb xfi titanium iso disk sw (audio cpl, thx, volume panel,..), well i still am and like i said so far so good, every creative sw works, audio modes, openAL info in aida64, etc..


edit: nope i got some static noise and channel swapping in Q4 openAL..im back to good ol' uaa 1.5 driver

[PirateNeilsouth]

I'm using the UAA 1.5 driver now too, why are they better than the standard drivers and even Pax?

[TheHunter]

idk they just are

-they use both 64 and 32bit driver (std creative only 32bit, at least last 2-3 drivers),
-no (bass, treble) tweaks like by PAX, natural sound.

-and they're based on UAA (UAA is intended to be a complete replacement for developing WDM Audio Drivers; however, in some cases it may be necessary for an otherwise UAA-compliant audio device to expose capabilities that cannot be done through UAA. Windows will continue to fully support audio drivers that use the PortCls and AVStream drivers)..

although they're missing "what you hear", this is UAA limitation.

Cheers Hunter

i have no clue on what driver i am now..but hey its working hehe..

Now if you do get any issues you can use this Titanium cd suite for Audio panel, volume panel,..

and install the driver from this pack

Thanks for the speedy reply trying that install disc now.

I've looked and looked about and haven't been able to find any modded drivers for the asus xonar dg. If they're not in this thread is it safe to assume they don't exist?

Gonna go back to these when I can since it seems like Rob doesn't seem like he's interested in fixing his drivers. Still haven't gotten a reply from two days ago.

Did you try disabling C1E and EIST in your BIOS? That solved my audio problems on the 775 platform.

This is great thanks so much!

Also can a dg owner comment on daniel k vs uni drivers? How do they stack up against each other in stability, features, performance, etc?
