Creative caves; supports Dolby Digital, DTS in Vista driver | |
|

| Time: 18:50 EST/23:50 GMT | News Source: Ars Technica | Posted By: Jonathan Tigner | ||

After nearly two years of outright lying about Vista compatibility, Creative has finally released official X-Fi drivers that add support for Dolby Digital and DTS decoding in Microsoft's newest operating system. Originally, Creative claimed that fundamental changes to the Windows sound driver model made it impossible for the company to offer certain features that were available under XP, including Dolby Digital and DTS decoding. Creative's user community wasn't happy with that answer, however, and various driver modding projects began, including one by infamous modder Daniel_K. | ||

Talk about monopoly...
I wish there were at least one good, reputable, reliable sound card manufacturer that made good drivers for Vista (and Vista 64) ... I would buy it in a red hot second. |

mram,
Thanks to crap like this, Creative's lost a lot of ground in the past two years; the monopoly is over. ASUS has made a splash with its Xonar series, paricularly their D2X. daniel_k seems to have moved in that direction. If you need EAX for gaming (under Alchemy in Vista), try AuzenTech's take on the X-Fi. Creative still gets a small cut, but the hardware and drivers are vastly superior. |

| ASUS's Xonar series is awesome...if anyone wants to read what's their DS3D GX is about, see http://techgage.com/print/creative_eax_vs_asus_ds3d_gx_20. |
