- EAX Settings for Windows Vista or later includes EAX Studio, a fancy version of EAX Control Panel, no changes in functionality, except the Test button now works.

- Added fully localized Korean and Chinese (Traditional) resources for EAX Studio, which were missing.



Undocumentend fixes by Creative (not listed in the release notes):

- Headphone mode now sticks and does not revert automatically to Speakers mode on Windows Vista or later.

- Special FX, Advanced EQ and Studio presets were not working on Windows Vista or later.



IMPORTANT: Driver uninstall on Windows Vista or later

The included driver for Windows Vista or later has a bug that causes a stop (blue screen) error when unloaded by disabling the Audigy or uninstalling the driver.

To workaround this issue, run the KillDrv.exe utility included and restart when asked to do so. Proceed normally and uninstall all the software or only the driver.

If you have previously installed the Audigy 5/RX driver, you MUST run this utility.

As the KillDrv verify the driver version installed, running it wont do any harm, even if the driver version is not affected.



WINDOWS 8.1 UPDATE 1 DOES NOT SAVE SETTINGS

- Configure all settings and shutdown. Your settings will be saved.

- This does not work if you disable Fast startup permanently or temporarily (by holding the Shift key while shutting down).



OpenAL 2D benchmark in RightMark 3DSound crashes your system

The included driver for Windows Vista or later has a bug that crashes your system if you run the OpenAL 2D benchmark using 63 buffers.

No problem With 62 or fewer buffers.

OpenAL 3D and OpenAL 3D + EAX benchmarks are not affected.

Details: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (0x000000D1) - ctoss2k.sys



There is no DirectSound hardware acceleration on Windows XP 64-bit (x64) with 4GB RAM or more

The Audigy driver does not support 64-bit addressing, disabling the DirectSound hardware acceleration and causing multichannel sound to be played only in the stereo channels (front left/right).

Workarounds:

- install the 32-bit (x86) version of Windows XP.
- limit to less than 4GB the amount of RAM available to Windows.
- enable the "Memory Hole" setting in the BIOS Setup, if your motherboard supports it.
- install and use Creative ALchemy to convert the DirectSound API calls into OpenAL, which is not affected by this issue.



Karaoke effects make the audio play in mono

On Windows XP you can avoid this issue by using EAX Console to enable Karaoke effects. Audio Console is affected by the issue.

On Windows Vista and later, follow the steps below.

Open EAX Settings, select a Karaoke effect, then click the Edit button.

Click on the Source (Wave) tab and change the Original sound to 100% and Pitch Shift to 0%. Click the Save environment button.

Repeat the steps for all Karaoke effects.

These changes will be valid only for the current speaker configuration. If desired, repeat the same process for each speaker configuration.



Using other devices to output the DDL or DTS Interactive encoded audio

Only for Windows Vista or later, you can use any "SPDIF/HDMI Out" from HD Audio, PCI or USB device to output 5.1 encoded audio.

To expose all SPDIF/HDMI Out devices to Audio Console, run the EndPtUtl.exe in the Audio Console installation folder.



Enabling the DTS Interactive encoder with Encoder Switcher utility

Purchase and activate the Dolby Digital Live Pack.

Run the EncSwtch.exe utility in the Audio Console installation folder and follow the instructions.

Always disable the Encoder before you switch to a different one and always close Audio Console before you switch the encoder.

- 32-bit edition of Windows XP or later

- any Audigy 2, Audigy 2 ZS or Audigy 4 card
