New Audigy Drivers ... me thinks.

The build date is 6/25/2003, so many of you may already have them. They are for Win2k/XP users ONLY.

Haven't loaded them up yet to compare them to the Audigy 2 driver, but I shall do some tested at home this weekend.

These are the Audigy 2 drivers we've been using for some time, only released specifically for the Audigy1... with the bloatware of the Audigy1 set tacked on top. ARGH!

WHY CREATIVE? WHY DO YOU DO THIS?

Yes, they have all the latest bugfixes. But without MediaSource integration, they're bloated and nasty as ever.

P.S. Just use the Audigy2 drivers, I wrote a walkthrough. It's easy. Honest!

Creative's drivers just plain suck. I bought an Audigy 2 Platinum. I was worried that I couldn't get my 5.1 speaker set working right in linux. I tried setting up linux first, and lo and behold, Alsa worked flawlessly, since I already had emu10k1 enabled because of my SBLive 5.1 card, it was automatically detected, I just had to unmute it as always.

Then I installed the windows drivers..... Well after it completely KILLED windows, I finally got them working after a fresh install of everything. Literally after the first reboot, it started saying that icons were missing for programs in the systray! And Task Manager would crash. It wouldn't even finish loading into windows.

They are definitely number one on the list of crappiest driver sets.

Gurm, where is your walkthrough to installing the A2 drivers for the A1?

Edit: nm, I found it.
