Creative's drivers are good , but to those who have spent a considerable amount of money on their sound system , its good to have software that can more extensively manage your sound.

Here i am presenting you with the latest driver package modded by youP-PAX - and i am pretty impressed so far.

When installation finished i just selected not to restart, then poped in the X-Fi disk. I then selected custom installation and just checked only the Entertainment Center. After the application installed I rebooted. Everything is working great.

Enjoy

Do you know if these drivers allow support for the front I/O with the X-Fi Platinim? In other words, does it include the Creative Entertainment Center for use with the remote?

 

[ljason8eg]

Think these would be worth it with my Z-5500s? Like will they just make them sound better or what?

[sabermetrics]

cool, I might wanna try these!

FYI, 32-bit OS is X86, not x32...

EDIT: Ah crud... is it only for PCI cards?

sweet , i'd like to know as well

sabermetrics: yeah...

 

[ljason8eg]

I don't really see any new options to be honest. They sound the same too. Something I'm missing?

Perhaps , its improved the sound for me a bit, and tweaking has helped as well.'
I don't remember the bass settings though , do you?

I could have swore those were there. All they seem to do is add MORE bass...which isn't exactly needed for me lol.

It might be more apparent to me because of the setup that i have , not to diss you z-5500s , im just saying.

Nah it's cool. I know they're nowhere near the best. I wish EAX settings would do something tho (like the theater, recital hall)...all they do is make a ton more bass and a nasty echo. Same with you?

 

[zacbrain]

been using them for 2 years now, and they's great. although right now im without a xfi card. :/

 

[ljason8eg]

Oh wait...i messed around with some settings and now it sounds...clearer. Like the bass drowns everything out less, but still is loud and punchy...if that makes any sense.

lol , yeah i tweaked it as well. If you put the cut off frequency at 200, it lowers the bass. so basically the lower the number , the higher the bass. I didnt like that setting though because it seemed to make my bass all muddy. The regular bass/treble settings in the windows mixer do it well enough.
