WELL since creative pulled the driver support which they werent even producing, I see they have every right to be angry with creative, and they have a right to demonstrate by however means they want.

But LOL at jinja_ninja's idea.... Burn a CDR with the driver software on it lolzzz


I think that the small demonstration going on will push creative for better support, something always happens eventually when things like this occur.


Althogh I still dont understand why Creative did what they did

My ears love the CMI8788 cards (Razer Barracuda AC-1; HT Omega Claro; Auzentech X-Meridian; I've tried all these, but the Bluegears B-Enspirer is another card with the same APU) more than the X-Fi.

Very true.

Anyone know a mod on the evga forum who can get us an IP or real name? Maybe pass it on to an OCN mod?

Congratulations on being the minority.

This is terribly misinformed and rather shortsighted.

1. This is the last year for XP. Microsoft will be ending retail boxes of XP in June, and OEM licenses in January of '09. Not upgrading to Vista despite having the hardware to run it is ridiculous at this point.
2. It's Creative's fault because it was their terrible programming in the first place that put them in this situation. Also, you can have hardware accelerated sound cards, you just can't use the hacky method Creative used before. It means companies will need to write better, more stable drivers, which results in a better experience.
3. Daniel_K proved that the HAL had nothing to do with the driver issues. Microsoft cannot be blamed for this. Creative knows how to fix it, they just won't.

That's a sweeping generalization if I ever saw one, and is also mostly incorrect. Yes, onboard sound cards generally don't have much in the way of hardware acceleration, but there are numerous other cards out there that do. And Vista's driver model has nothing to do with it.

But, it is a simple switch. Daniel_K proved this. They have the means to make it work, and easily. They just refuse to do it. It's their responsibility, and they lied to their customers about it.

You do realize that Microsoft did change the video driver model also, in Vista? I don't see any loss of hardware acceleration there, just far more stable drivers and future support for amazing DX10 features. Why don't you leave the blame where it really belongs?

I just hope this wakes creative up a little bit.

at this point I admit I'm a little miffed with them being I used to own one of their x-fi platinum cards taht supported dolby and DTS decoding. updated the drivers and all of a sudden dolby decoding is gone. it's not an issue with the card on this one just the drivers as an uninstall of their "updated" drivers and reinstalling off the disk fixed the "problem"
that card broke bought a x-fi gamer fatality it said on back of the box dolby and DTS decoding, if you looked on their website for support with the x-fi fatality gamer series it showed you how to enable dolby and dTs decoding yet if tried to follow their own instructions it didn't work as they had no dolby tab. contacting their own tech support was a joke and took a few weeks worth of emails back and forth for them to finally tell me oh sorry the fatality series doesn't support dolby. even though I gave them that info off the bat it still took a few weeks for them to finally tell me it has been disabled.
