Moded driveri za Vistu i većinu Creative kartica. Za Audigy kartice proradio CP.

Glavnu stvar vezanu za ove drivere, kao i reakciju Creativa na iste možete pročitati u thread-u.

Ajd uzdravlje

Jedino za X-Fi seriju ne vazi ovo (Xtreme Audio nije pravi X-Fi).

 

[borab]

Nije mi bas jasno o cemu se radi . Na mojoj karti CP radi bez problema. Ima EQ, EAX ...
Ljudi iz Creative-a popljuvase coveka po imenu Daniel_K koji ima je dokazao da reative karte mogu savrseno da rade pod Vistom, a oni ga tuzise Creative-ovom sudu?
Vise o tome na danasnjem http://warp2search.net

Tužili ga jer je čovek pokazao da Creative namerno pravi drajvere tako da starije generacije kartica ne mogu da rade lepo pod Vistom.

Što se mene tiče, ovo mi je verovatno poslednja Creative karta, naravno ako u međuvremenu kod nas bude mogla da se nađe neka alternativa (a da ne bude integruša).

 

[ima-li-koga-tu]

ja imam sb live! i drajvera nema na sajtu, medjutim rek`o ajde da probam da mu dam onu opciju da mi nadje vista na netu i uspelo je. sada sam skionuo .inf da ih imam za svaki slucaj.

Ma taj lik rekao da probao na X-Fi i dobio Dolby Digital Live i da radi, i to je meni najbitnije ali skolnio drivere za X-Fi seriju i jedino sto na netu mogu da nadjem ima otkljucani DD& DTS a to vec imam. Ako neko zna nesto neka pomogne.

Desavanja su da nece biti DDL za X-Fi, popizdeo sam.

My goodbye message to all supporters with some clarification and links to my drivers
Unfortunately, the situation did not change for us.
They did say an updated Audigy driver would eventually be released, but don't be optimistic about it (their priority is the launch of X-Fi 2).
What I can say for sure is the features I've enabled will not be made available in an official driver update.
Although I still have my doubts, they've said I would not be threatened if I provided patches instead of the actual binaries, because of licensed technologies built into them (Dolby/DTS).
While this could even be true, most of the disabled features are Creative's own technologies, which means they've disabled them on their own choice.
That's funny when people think you are an *****.
They were after me and, on a chat session, they asked me what I'd like from them, as if I were expecting something.
They've promised me a free X-Fi 2, but I told them it was not necessary, because I was getting a couple of cards from other companies that contacted me.
Well, at least they are getting flammed all over the web and they are certainly mad about it and I could feel it while chatting with them. That is an enough reward for my hard work.
I'm not releasing a patch to enable DDL on any X-Fi neither Crystalizer for Audigy because, as they've pointed out to me, providing an alternative for their customers is good for them and increase their sales, specially when someone is doing it for free. Given the current situation, I cannot let this happen, as people get used to this and still buy Creative products.
Remember, while they say that 3rd parties are ok to provide workarounds, it is Creative's job to provide official driver/software updates.
I just hope their competitor companies do something about it.
And I really hope people don't forget this.
Thank you very much for your support and your donations.
Best regards,

Daniel Kawakami

Zanimljiva desavanja za DDL i X-Fi! Daniel.K je na svom sajtu postavio linkove za otkljucavanje DolbyDigital Live opcije na svim X-Fi zvucnim karticama (osim audio jer i nije XiFi chip unutra). Pored malog patcha mora se skinuti i promenjeni X-Fi instalacioni disk i kako se navodi i Auezentechov driver. Pocecu da skidam i videcemo sta se desava a akojos neko proba neka javi.

Dolby Digital Live Unlocker for Creative SB X-Fi series
-------------------------------------------------------


WARNING: Use this utility at your own risk, without any guaranties.
--------


This small utility will unlock Dolby Digital Live on any X-Fi card,
except the X-Fi Xtreme Audio.

It requires Administrator privileges, so under Windows Vista,
User Account Control (UAC) will prompt you with a security warning.


How to use:
----------

1) Install the unofficial "SB X-Fi Series Installation Disc for
Windows XP/Vista" from Daniel Kawakami (daniel_k).

At least Audio Console or Console Launcher must be installed.



2) Close any running Creative applications or restart Windows in
Safe Mode.

Run DDLUnlocker.exe and follow the instructions.



3) Download the latest Auzen X-Fi Prelude driver from:
http://www.auzentech.com/site/download/updates.php

Unpack with full paths.

Open \Audio\Setup and copy CmnSupt.cab, CTCabEx.dll and
engine32.cab to \Audio\DDL.



4) Install the Dolby Digital Live Pack

Open \Audio\DDL and run Setup.exe.

Save the contents in this folder for future installaions.



5) Restart Windows and run Audio Console or Console Launcher.

IMPORTANT: Do not try to enable both Decoder and Encoder at
the same time or you'll get static sound.


Enjoy!

Predivna vest za sve koji igraju igrice i poseduju X-Fi - Dolby Digital Live RADI!!!!
Skinuo sam sve sto treba sa Daniel.K sajta, instalirao na opisani nacin i EXTRA!!!
Igram igrice i imam 5.1 preko coax cabla i prezadovoljan sam, hehe...
Jedino se DDL mora iskljuciti kada se slusa muzika i koristi materijal koji vec ima AC3 ili DTS zvuk jer svrha DDL je da hvata 5.1 signal recimo iz igrica, encoduje ga u AC3 zvuk i salje tako preko dig out do ext decodera. X-Fi ima CMSS-3D i DDL hvata taj 5.1 zvuk i salje da pa divx filmovi zvuce jos bolje nego na DPLII ali muziku nisam mogao da preslusam (kasno je za glasno) pa da kazem da li bolje zvuci DPLII ili CMSS-3D na DD.........heheh.... ko zna kako ovo sada vama zvuci sto pisem (ipak je za muziku najbolji stereo) ali ovo se ok cuje pa topla preporuka svima. Znaci svako ko ima X-Fi karticu (osim Audio) moze imati Dolby Digital Live!!!

Skine se novi X-Fi SBXF_PCDRV_LB_2_15_0006_FX koji je malo doteran, skine se ceo novi Vista X-Fi suite, skine se DDL patch i driver sa Azuentech sajta i iz njega se izvadi DDL pack. Prvo se driver instalira, pa restart, pa suite, pa restart DDL patch u safe modu, pa restart DDL pack pa uzivanje, hehe. DD&DTS decoderi mogu se naknadno otvoriti ali su maltene nepotrebni pored jer ovo koriste oni koji vec imaju ext decoder a DD decoder i DDL encoder nekako jedan potire drugog mada sam ja imao ok zvuk i kada sam oba ukljucio.

Iskreno, nije DDL za muziku. Zvuk iz igrica zvuci extra preko DDL pa i divx stereo filmovi (uhvati CMSS pa posalje kao 5.1) ali muziku najbolje pustati kroz stereo na AVR pa onda ko sta voli.
