hi there

3548 is out
There are two versions: x86 and x64. Please only install the one which fits for your OS.

Changes:
* Fixed a bug with power management (ASIO channels were not restored properly after sleep/hibernation)
* Fixed a bug 'Master Mixer unusable" on 10k1 cards under Vista/Windows7
* Fixed support for multiple E-DSP cards
* Fixed a compatibility issue with Windows 7

SDK:
* Certain parts of kX API and kX Mixer plugin management released open source (GPL)
* Included Mac OS X-compatible SDK with full source code for kxapi.a
(the kxapi.a binary to be included with the OS X driver)

previous x86 build: here - version 3545b
previous x64 build: here - version 3547

 

* Fixed a compatibility issue with Windows 7 <-- Care to explain exactly which issue? Perhaps the kxmixer.exe not loading by default unless you ran in Vista comp. mode?

Anyway thanks once again for your awesome work! I bet 5.1 users will like this one with Master Mixer hopefully working now.

I would install it right away but I'm a bit busy, will try later or tomorrow, just had to show my appriciation.

win7: yes, you no longer need to run it in vista compatibility mode

Thanks E.

Just installed 3548 x86, so I have not done much testing as of yet, but no problems so far (WinXP).

---
3rd party plugins (kxl) and addons (kxa) from previous (x86) SDK versions are not compatible with 3548 x86 (including UFX and ProFX).

 

Windows 7 Compatibility - Very nice. Thanks E.

Thanks Eugene!

BTW, does the new driver address the issue with >2G RAM?

 

yes, what about ">4Gb RAM" bug!? =)

 

OK, I'll try it right away. Win 7 compliable is not so hard I think, cos the driver architecture is very much like the Vista. I'm using 3539 and hack the startup kxmixer.exe in reg, just worked pretty good.

 

unable to install KX on win xp sp3 build 3264

 

Are you sure that it was the x86 version of 3548 that you tried to install?

 

Congratulations! Now sound is as clear as it was in windows xp x64. However, the sampling rate in my emu10k1 still cannot be selected. It's set to 48hkz default and cannot be changed.

Furthermore, sound redirection seems to have no effect.

 

yes,Russ.... here my hardware specs..

Ahh, OK, when you said it was unable to install, I assumed that you meant that it wouldn't run, or gave you an error or something... not that it installed but did not detect your card model correctly...

I think the problem is with the subsystem ID. It seems that kX does not recognize it... Is it an OEM model? Does it not work?

 

Russ, will my SB live! 5.1 SB0220 normally work on win7 x64, if I have 4Gb RAM?

 

No oem model....earlier it worked ......but, after installing post sp3 updates ,it is not recognising the card....even original creative didnot install...

 

The card is OK, but I think the RAM is going to be a problem (but you may get lucky, some people do (if windows creates the buffers below 2 GB, then it will work, but even so, it may only be temporary)).

 

It sounds like something happened to the EEPROM. (I think the subsystem ID for SB0100 is 80621102, so yours seems to be off by 1 number). Even so, I think kX should work OK.

 

any quick solution???

 

Well, you could try re-seating the card in the PCI slot (maybe it is just not seated right (i.e. maybe it came loose when connecting a cable, etc)). Beyond that there is no quick fix that I know of.

 

thank you...let me try
