Daniel_k has updated the drivers, now Windows 7/Vista will have CMSS and among other features fully enabled. Here's the link to more information and the drivers itself

Currently installing the drivers, so brb with a update.

Edit: Update

I can confirm that CMSS is indeed, working with stereo surround on my sig rig.

But there is no X-Fi crystalizer though right?

I'm really frustrated and I can't find the problem. How can the crystalizer work on some machines and not even bee enabled on others. Sound cards are the same, drivers are the same, Windows 7 version is the same.

Does anyone have it working and are using the included Microsoft PCI/chipset drivers?

I'm gonna test it soon, too bad the Crystalizer only works in the .78 drivers posted on the front page.

I uninstalled the drivers again and this time I went into device manager and removed the sound card from the list. I rebooted, Windows installed an Audigy driver and then I installed the 78 drivers. Now I don't have any crystalizer at all. The EAX and CMSS-3D sliders are there but they still don't work.

What the heck is going on with this!

Update: I uninstalled everything again and the sound card is still listed as an SB X-Fi Xtreme Audio. I can't find any stray registry keys or folders.

Update 2: I found two stray registry keys!

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Creative Tech

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Creative Tech\P17

Driver Sweeper didn't find these. Can I delete these?

I honestly don't know, if I were in this situation I would probably do a fresh windows install or roll back to a blank windows backup. The .78s are the ones listed on the frontpage... for me they work, but CMSS works only when it feels like it. The new modded drivers has working CMSS and no Crystalizer... decisions decisions

This is what I did to get it working, uninstall the old Creative Drivers from Device Manager, restart the computer, and let Windows install it's drivers, which won't work, and that would be a good thing. Install the new drivers from my post above.

I did the following steps above and all the features are working, however you have to use the "Creative Audio Control Panel" in order to get surround sound working. Do not use the "Creative Console Launcher" since the options are blanked out.

And remember to adjust your speaker/sound card settings in "Windows Sound Options"

I'm downloading them now. I'm willing to try anything since X-Fi doesn't work.

It must be something other than the driver version because the first driver I installed for my card was 78.
