to be quite honest--no improvement
in functionality from previous version for me.
I can't say the same. I have an X-Fi Fital1ty and when I install the Dec.
drivers I usually receive a BSoD shortly after. Then Vista usually didn’t
run for squat after that. So far I haven't had any issues. Plus there are
a bunch of added features:
X-Fi Crystalizerâ„¢
X-Fi CMSS®-3D
MIDI Playback
EAX® Effects
PCM stereo output through optical out
Line-in connectivity
Recording capabilities
They're not for everyone but plenty of people are going to be glad that
these are back.
However:
This driver does not support the following:
Decoding of Dolby® Digital and DTS™ signals
DVD-Audio
DirectSound®-based EAX games
6.1 speaker mode.
SPDIF passthrough is supported on Vista 32-bit only.
Applications from the original Sound Blaster X-Fi CD will not work with this
download.
