Now you can capture video with no frameloss when the capture starts :-)

This is apparently for XP and Win2k only :-( It is also around 340mb so dial-up folks are gonna have a long wait on this one. The archive is combines Audigy/SBLive drivers and apps. If someone can check to see whether the Audigy mixer issue is fixed with these, I would appreciate it!

JuanC · May 1, 2002, 09:04 PM

have you installed it? What would be the version of the drivers?

Shrink · May 1, 2002, 09:40 PM

http://www.warp2search.net/article.p...thread&order=0 for more info. I installed them and they work great. New versions of the apps as well.

The drivers are Version: 5.12.1.244 Revision: C Pass: 1 and are WHQL certified.

I have an SBLive! 5.1, but not a Compaq.. I wonder if there's anything Compaq-specific about this download. Hmm... I think I'll wait until Creative releases updated drivers on their website (yes, I know, I may be waiting a while).

- Me

Shrink · May 1, 2002, 09:56 PM

Nothing Compaq-branded about it at all. I have an OEM SBLive Value (using it now instead of my Fortissimo II) and this archive has built-in parametric EQ so the sound is much crisper and configurable. It is well-worth the download!

bpjenn · May 1, 2002, 10:26 PM

I recently purchased and installed a Turtle Beach Santa Cruz Sound Card at work and was considering one for my home computer. I still have a SB Live on my home computer and of course was getting the dropped frames on MPEG captures. Well, I just downloaded and installed the new SB drivers/software and NO MORE DROPPED FRAMES!!!!

Shrink · May 1, 2002, 10:54 PM

Great huh? Try the parametric EQ - this release has breathed new life into my Live Value :-)

Shrink

JasonQG · May 2, 2002, 03:00 AM

WHOA! I didn't think it was possible, but these actually improve the quality substantially on my Live 5.1. I had given up all hope for this piece of crap, but this makes my day. The high end is a lot better. It sounds a lot closer to when I plug my speakers into my iPod now.

ChrisW · May 2, 2002, 05:19 AM

These work fine on my SBLive x-gamer (not 5.1). No more dropped frames! But where is Live Surround???? No more Live Surround! That sucks.
I also get 5 more fps in Quake3.

RadeATIonXP · May 2, 2002, 10:57 AM

When is Creative going to post a driver update on their site so I won't have to download this huge file?

Shrink · May 2, 2002, 11:19 AM

There is supposedly a driver that they are working on that is in release candidate form now so could be released soon. You may want to check the soundblaster newsgroup for more info.

_legacy_ · May 2, 2002, 12:03 PM

hmm..I tried to install this driver but it doesn't work with my retail SBlive Platinum 5.1. Any1 else have the same scound that got their to work? Or it will only work with soundcards that come with compaq computers?

Delete the CTOem.cfg file from C:\Compaq\SP20920\Audio\Setup or wherever you extracted it.

grox · May 2, 2002, 02:57 PM

Sa-Weet! I will start downloading it now. I wonder if we could rip out the sound drivers and convince Cyborg to host it?

~g

JasonQG · May 2, 2002, 08:24 PM

I still can't get over this. This is like getting a whole new sound card! I almost feel like Creative might not be so bad after all. It's a shame that it took so long, but at least they got there eventually.

fredhead · May 2, 2002, 09:27 PM

Can anyone confirm if these drivers fixed the Line-in/ATI TV problem?

Shrink · May 2, 2002, 09:37 PM

Are you referring to the problem with the line-in on the Audigy? If so, I agree that it would be great to know if it is fixed :-)

Jornack Hupkens · May 3, 2002, 03:31 AM

uuuhhhhh how the heck did they come up with 340MB??? isn't that a bit much for just a soundcard driver that'll only work on xp? doh did they #include "source.code" in all languages as well or what? slow site too

downloading @18K/sec usually doing 50K/sec @ work

Shrink · May 3, 2002, 08:10 AM

Why?

a. multilanguage
b. new driver format = bigger archive (these aren't wdm)
c. all the Creative Apps that come are on the cd
d. beggars can't be choosers - take ritalin if you have difficulty waiting for things

Tablous · May 4, 2002, 08:42 AM

Can't fault these...........quality.

grox · May 5, 2002, 02:55 PM

What a difference! I am seriously impressed. Talk about breathing new life into an old card. They also didnt screw over my mp3 subsystem, as most previous creative drivers have. And yes, frame droppage at beginning of capture is fixed! Whee!

~g

EdgarV · May 5, 2002, 04:10 PM

Today I bought a Live! Value to replace the onboard C-Media chip. I have problems with that 'soundcard' during timeshifting, exactly as the experiences from http://www.monmouth.com/~rothe/ati_aiw8500dv.html. I directly downloaded the most recent XP drivers from Creative and installed them. Unfortunatelly, during timeshifting the sound was even worse than the C-Media chip! Anybody same experience with this Live! card (running driver version 3509.2.0.0 on XP) and will this huge download solve my problems?

Shrink · May 5, 2002, 05:33 PM

Try disabling the firewire port and see if that helps in addition to using the drivers posted in this link, not the drivers from Creative.

So-Unreal · May 6, 2002, 12:16 AM

I have riped and uploaded the drivers and some of the apps here http://www.rage3d.com/board/showthre...eadid=33616388 read it all to know whats going on cause the drivers *was* moved.

Wetsprocket · May 6, 2002, 09:57 AM

Do these drivers make the SBLive pass the compatibility test in control panel?

***Edit***Under contol panel there is an ATI icon, in the panel that comes up there is a button for a compatibility test that says my live may not be compatible because of ?latency? or something. Just wondering if it passes with the new drivers.

**brc64** · May 6, 2002, 10:46 AM

One thing that kind of bugs me about these drivers is that TV is now much quieter than it used to be. Although my MP3s seem better balanced with other sounds in my system, TV is just much quieter than it used to be. I have to turn up the system volume when I watch TV, and that causes my Instant Messenger sounds to be extremely loud. I guess I can't have everything.

- Me

So-Unreal · May 6, 2002, 11:36 AM

brc64 what player do you use???

Wetsprocket they passed the DirectX Diagnostic test if that is what you mean.

**brc64** · May 6, 2002, 12:52 PM

For MP3s? I use Winamp. For TV, I use MMC 7.6.

As a temporary fix, I've set my main volume really high, WAV volume really low, and Line In volume really high. Right now that seems to be the best mix of decent sounding volume I can get.

- Me

EdgarV · May 6, 2002, 04:12 PM

Bad luck.

Even with this new driver, still the distorted sound during timeshifting, whether I listen to the live sound or the captured sound, awfull quality.

Wanted to disable 'Fast AGP write', was already disabled. No solution.

Disabled the 1394 in XP, no luck. Will disable it by jumper in the coming days.

Just wondering if it passes with the new drivers. Last edited by Wetsprocket : May 6, 2002 at 01:05 PM.*

Although my MP3s seem better balanced with other sounds in my system, TV is just much quieter than it used to be. I have to turn up the system volume when I watch TV, and that causes my Instant Messenger sounds to be extremely loud. I guess I can't have everything. - Me

As a temporary fix, I've set my main volume really high, WAV volume really low, and Line In volume really high. Right now that seems to be the best mix of decent sounding volume I can get. - Me

Even with this new driver, still the distorted sound during timeshifting, whether I listen to the live sound or the captured sound, awfull quality. Wanted to disable 'Fast AGP write', was already disabled. No solution. Disabled the 1394 in XP, no luck. Will disable it by jumper in the coming days. __________________ Asus A7V266-E (Sound)/Bios 1011, Athlon XP 2000+, 512MB DDR, Hercules Radeon 8500 DV (European) with Zalman ZM17-CU passive cooler, 120Gb WS1200JB, 3Com 3C595, SM56, Adaptec 3940AUW, Plextor PX-W124TS, Pioneer DVD305S, Imation SuperDISK LS120, Logitec Cordless Desktop Pro, Philips 170B2Y, Asus iPanel, Enermax PSU, AOpen HQ08 (modded), NoiseControl Silverado, Zalman NB32, Silent Drive, 2xNicam 12cm fans@5V, Papst 8cm fan@7V, Windows XP Pro SP1
