Sinceramente a Creative já está a meter nojo. Têm bons produtos (pessoalmente tenho/tive vários já) mas a questão dos drivers vai fazê-los perder clientes mais cedo ou mais tarde. É inadmissível como alguém que está a tentar ajudar uma comunidade, fazendo o trabalho que competia à Creative, se arrisca a ser prejudicado por isso. É mesmo de mandá-los às urtigas.
Creative promises to fix X-Fi Drivers for Vista.
Hello everyone, I have another update for you guys today:
It has come to our attention that, in the process of upgrading from Windows XP to Vista and installing driver updates for certain Creative sound cards, Dolby Digital decoding, DTS decoding, and DVD Audio functionality may have been impacted for some customers. Creative has now created separate drivers that are specifically designed to re-establish these functionalities. There are two revised versions of the drivers, one for Audigy and one for X-Fi products. Please note that DVD Audio functionality will only be available for Vista 32-bit systems.
The new drivers also addresses compatibility issues for 64-bit systems that have 4GB or greater amounts of memory as well as a number of other issues. Full details will be provided with the beta releases.
Both new drivers require Windows Vista SP1. Public Beta versions of these drivers are currently on schedule to release in early June and will be announced here in the forum once they are available for download. The final release version of these drivers will be made available in late July or early August.
Thank You.

X-fi.... e as minha Audigy? Até nem me importava de dar uns trocos e ter drivers para Vista.... mas agora não ter suporte para a Audigy é no mínimo decadente.
"I've received another cease and desist e-mail.
I'm done with Creative, enough is enough.
Don't even bother asking me for the files.
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, as people get used to this and still buy Creative products.
Remember, while they say that 3rd parties are ok to provide workarounds, it is Creative's job to provide official driver/software updates.
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"
Está visto que na Creative não aprenderam nada... pode ser que comecem a usar mais a cabeça quando virem as as vendas cair. Já o tinha escrito, mas volto a frisá-lo: Creative nunca mais, seja em placas de som, seja em colunas, seja em leitores de MP3 (o meu irmão tem um e não tem razão de queixa, mas eu não vou arriscar na marca quando comprar um para mim).
