Unofficial SB Audigy Series Software CD by Daniel_K

[Zilla]

Tak situace se nam vyviji zajimave. Timhle postem asi zklamu vsechny majitele Audigy/2/ZS/4 karet, ale podle vseho to vypada, ze Daniel ma jednani Creative plne zuby a s jakymkoliv "vyvojem" dalsich moddovanych driveru pro tyto zvukovky konci.

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 idiot.

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.


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

Jeste bych poznamenal, ze Danielovy drivery s Audigy nikdy nedokazaly provozovaz DDL, narozdil od X-Fi ( k tomu nestaci jednoduche odklicovani Instalatoru, jak to udelal Daniel pro X-Fi verzi). Vyvojari DDL byli lide z Creative, nikoliv z Auzentechu.

Soucasne drivery Creative Audigy jsou nove, umi (konecne) vsechno, co Daniel odemkl (pod Vistama zejmena), je k dispozici Alchemy bez poplatku. DDL neumi stale.
