Okay, but if you click the link you notice that you are not downloading them
from the maker of the sound card, they are just categorized by manufacturer.
Someone with a Creative sound card does not need to download their drivers
from
http://www.soundcard-drivers.com/companies/258.htm, but rather from
http://us.creative.com/support/downloads/.
I'm not sure you understand what is criticism and what is not. What you are
doing is making more work for others. If you would like to help, please do.
But there is no need to suggest people go to a driver download site that
links to old, out-dated drivers. (Which btw only 2% of the people here are
going to know the model numbers of their sound card, so your link doesn't
really help them.)
If you would like to take this as criticism, go ahead. If you are looking
to help people (That's why you are posting here, correct?) then please link
them to a site that will really help them. The problem is with linking to
these drivers is it makes more work for others (Including you) when the
drivers do not work right, or they have a problem with them. A person who
you suggest old drivers too contacts Creative, Creative wants to know why
they are trying to install old drivers that are not from their website.
This makes a problem for Creative, and a huge headache for the person you
are "trying" to help fix a problem.
