Creative Live! and Audigy 24bit into X-Fi Xtreme Audio driver modd - Page 2 - Overclock.net

I'm sorry, I've been lazy about trying these. The sound is back to normal from the onboard. I had to put mine in a diff PCI slot, even though the slot i took it out of I put my NIC and it worked fine, so maybe see if it's even detected in device manager? Also go into your BIOS and make sure anything dealing w/ USB isn't disabled.

I have the Live! 24-bit external on Vista 32-bit. Of the dozens of drivers I've tried, the only driver that works is from the Creative website and it is completely un-listenably awful.

I've been up all night the past 3 nights trying to get this thing to work. Everything that seems to work for everyone else is NOT working for me! What is going on??

Sorry for the late response, I've been out for the New Year's. I've checked this morning if your card, the external Live! 24-bit is also based on the P17 chip (the one that powers all the rest), and I've found no reference at all. Also, the name of the driver for the external card doesn't begin with P17, as the others do, so bottom line I don't think it's possible to do this mod for the USB Live! There may be others though

I wonder if it would be possible to add crystalizer to older sound cards like the sound blaster live 5.1 series.

Live card use emu10k1 chipset, very similar to emu10k2 chipset used on audigys.

I think modded drivers for live are based on audigy series drivers too.

It is probably possible, but I don't know much about these EMU card. The modd for the Audigy ZS may work though, but better check daniel_k's blog

This particular Live! I mentioned at the very beginning of the thread, is the lowest end of the live series, and the P17 chis has absolutely no hardware processor, all is made on the CPU. The EMUs are hardware sound processors, thus the cards based on them have some more features and better quality (some say). In stead of the marketing name (audigy, live...) you should search a modd for your own emu10k1 chip.

I have (had!) a Sb Live! 24bit running under XP Pro sp3.
Worked great. I now have a SB X-Fi Xtreme that sounds a lot better.

Haven't tried with Vista x64 sp1...yet.........

I had tried wading through Daniel K's stuff previously. +Rep for the concise presentation.

I've found another post that links to the Unlocker and the XFi console:
Unlocker
X-Fi Console

I'll update the previous post, too. Cheers!

The post 6 modd should work; I don't have a EMU Audigy to test it, but it seems people managed to install Crystalizer and the X-Fi console on all Audigy-s
