Are Creative mad?

Gonna use your guide for the A2 drivers on the replacement A1 tonight Gurm...

Seems the consumer soundcard market is ripe for the taking if someone had the muscle to do it... and a decent card+drivers!

[WyWyWyWy]

Apparently, if your A1/Live has its own IRQ, it would work fine on SMP systems.

So it sounds like Paddy is having a similar experience to me

BTW the quickest way to get things done seems to be via their "Chat" function on the Europe TS site - it even worked through my work firewall, which was a bit of a shock... You have to wait in a queue, but once connected can get things done there and then it seems.

So what are you all waiting for? Go get those free Audigies!

I know, I've got one. But videologic is largely unknown outsite of the UK, only 2 shops in the whole country sold them.

[GNEP]

iirc either Scan or Dabs (or both) sell them...

[dZeus]

I'm not in the UK

[GNEP]

Oh yeah. Whoops!

Paddy, you kidding here, right?
I mean...this sounds...unbeliavable a little...

It turns out that all someone has to do to get Audigy 2 is to buy cheap Live and start complain it doesn't work with P4 3,06 or some dual P3/Athlon, and they'll instantly "make him quiet"?

[WyWyWyWy]

Nowhere: I'm trying to.
I don't expect I can suceed but worth a try anyway.

[Tjalfe]

I am trying too.. would be nice to get an audigy2 instead of the audigy 1

I got my first reply from tech support, which told me to download their newest drivers.. funny as I wrote them that I had tried that already.... I hope they realize soon that there is no winning

Gurm I've noticed that there no drivers listed at all for the Plat ex2 so will newer Audigy drivers still work with the old plat ex???

There is also N-force audio now.
Quite popular actually.

Gotta say that the Turtle Beach Santa Cruz has been pretty much that for quite some time.

Sure it is lacking one or two extra features (but is 13.1 sound really necessary ).

But drivers have been rock solid on every machine I've installed on, no PCI loading issues, excellent sound quality, etc.

Never understood why after it was released at the 75dollar price point that people were dumping upwards of 200 for a the creative high end offering. No offense meant, just seemed odd to me...

Insert of email
Dear Patrick

Because I quoted incorrectly that the Sblive 5.1 is supported in
multi-processsor systems and this is indeed incorrect so I apologise about this. We are offering you an option to upgrade to an Audigy2 Player card. You can let me know if you wish to proceed with this option. If so I will need to get you to send me your Sblive 5.1 card back to our support section to replace it for the Audigy2 card.

Can you email us back your full name, daytime delivery address and phone number details and I will organise the returns for you. Please make sure the address is daytime and there is some-one there to take delivery from a courier company during the day.

Yep. It's what I'm using on my eX.

Supposedly there were going to be different drivers entirely for the Audigy2 eX, due to its supposed "different hardware".

The reality is that the .324's came out the same day as the A2eX. LOL.
