So yeah just to reiterate, I'm not having any sound chirping/clicking/distortion/whatever other issues when using my speakers - for me it's just the headphones.įWIW I tried the July 2020 driver pack on the blog, not the newer Aug ones which are Beta so i'm hesitant to go through the entire process again unless others have had better success with them.Īnyway, I guess i'm going to have to break down and get a newer sound card at some point because with my setup I really need an optical input solution and not a lot of soundcards have that feature anymore. Has anyone done extensive testing with any of these unofficial drivers when using both A) headphones in the ZxR's headphone jack and B) an audio source plugged into the optical audio in jack (in my case, a TV for PS4 and soon PS5 play - and i've tried multiple optical cords including brand new ones), It would be incredibly helpful if anyone found a way to eliminate the issue. I'm not sure but it's possible that it's happening LESS, but that could just be placebo. While I had to jump through some additional hoops to get the CINEMATIC tab of my Pro Studio Control Panel (a problem I've ran into in the past, you have to completely remove registry entries to Dolby and DTS packs to get them to properly install again, and no DDU does not remove this for you), the driver works well. I'm on Win 10 64bit 20H2 right now, but the problem started with a prior update (like many of you, i'm sure) Out of desperation, I've tried Daniel_K's updated drivers. I've been having clipping sounds/brief distortion when using headphones on my ZxR setup. ironically the AWE32 still works, where's that ISA to USB adapter when you need it lol. ![]() This being after the SBLive! that worked really well for me. So off topic, so the only reason I originally bought the Zx was after my X-Fi PCI literally died (which WTH how does a PCI card just die?) was that I stupidly assumed that as a Creative card it would still support the 'old SoundFont Bank Manager so I could still jam out to MIDI AWE32 style. And sadly that will probably still be exclusively whatever Windows flavor is still offered. But who am I kidding - it will be whatever OS that can run Steam games, with available video drivers for recent cards (FU Nvidia) all without crapping the bed running in the background under BOINC. I'm going to take a long look at ReactOS and linux + WINE in 2023. I guess I could run some hacked up version of windows server after that but ugh. And DCH driver enforcement (seriously just so you can force the stupid App Store version?) etc.īack in the win7 days I'd NEVER have thought I would come to appreciate win8.1 (with classic shell) as the last bastion before the whole software as a service hell. I'm no Win10 hater per-say, but I deal with enough win10 "os as a service" BS at work everyday that coming home to a machine that ISN'T required every 6 months to re-install it's core OS and whine that I'm still a local user account (you're not on a Microsoft Account? how DARE you) is sadly refreshing.Īnd the constant f*ckery with audio drivers of course. ![]() ohhh? I guess I just assumed that was going to be some DirectX12 Ultimate feature or something. ![]()
