**************************************************************************************


Info by me (MasteFaster): I have successfully installed YouP-PAX Fi v2.32 SP2 (Apps Only - I selected all but drivers) + YouP-PAX Fi v2.33 BOX (driver). During the Installation of YouP-PAX Fi v2.32 SP2 it will ask you about X-Fi Spash Screen, just choose no. During the Installation of YouP-PAX Fi v2.33 BOX it will ask you something about X-Fi, just choose no. Tested and working with excellent sound on my SB Audigy 2 Value.

Attention: The difference between the first release of YouP-PAX Fi v2.33 and the YouP-PAX Fi v2.33 BOX is that the YouP-PAX Fi v2.33 BOX has been updated to support the connection of an X-Fi card with an external control panel from an Audigy 2 ZS or Audigy 4 Pro. Despite that, the 2.33 BOX driver works the same (is equal) with the previous 2.33 build.

QUOTE
Creative ALchemy

Provides multi-channel audio for legacy game titles running on
Windows Vista

The removal of the Vendor Extension mechanism from Windows
Vista's DirectSound implementation will compromise audio in
certain legacy game titles that use EAX or DirectSound3D (DS3D),
usually resulting in stereo output without any effects.

Creative ALchemy is a powerful tool that restores the audio for a
DirectSound3D game running on Windows Vista to its former glory -
in full surround sound with hardware accelerated audio mixing,
sampling rate conversion and EAX effects.

Go to the Videos section and check out the videos of some games
that have great audio in Windows XP. They demonstrate how the
audio quality is seriously compromised under Windows Vista, and
just what a difference Creative ALchemy makes for these titles.


Supported Games In This Build:

· Baldur's Gate 2
· Battle for Middle Earth 2
· Battlefield Vietnam
· C&C Generals
· Call of Duty

Creative ALchemy Universal 1.00.08 (02/20/2008) - Modified by Daniel Kawakami


>>>Use it at your own risk. <<<
Works with any PCI/USB/HD Audio sound device.
There are 2 working modes, hardware and software.
- Hardware mode for X-Fi and Audigy soundcards with a hardware DSP (EMU10Kx or CA20K1).
- Software mode for all other sound devices or when hardware mode fails to initialize.
- Includes the latest game database from ALchemy 1.00.30.
This version is recommended for Live! (4.1 or 5.1) because the modified version that uses hardware OpenAL cannot properly render DS3D / DS3D+EAX buffers.

Make sure you have the latest sound drivers for Windows Vista installed.
This version is based on the "free" X-Fi version of ALchemy.

- run the Registry Editor (Regedit) and open the following registry tree:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class
- select Search (or press the F3 key) and type EnableWaveRTPullMode, deleting the value when found.
Restart the computer.

For more information on WaveRT, access:
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/device/audio/wavertport.mspx


- Built-in Decoder (requires Windows Vista Service Pack 1)
To use the built-in decoder, make sure it is enabled in Audio Console.

Select "SPDIF Out (Creative SB Audigy (WDM))" as the output device of
your player and then configure the AC3/DTS filter to send the stream
through SPDIF.
When you restart your computer, the Tone settings (Bass and Treble) are not applied.
Just readjust one of the controls one time per boot.


- EAX effects, Advanced EQ and Special FX
EAX effects only work in 4.1, 5.1 e 7.1 speaker settings.

Advanced EQ and Special FX only work in 2.1 speakers or Headphone settings.


- EAX effects, Advanced EQ and Special FX (Using SPDIF Out)
All effects work properly, but when you restart your computer, the Tone settings (Bass and Treble) are not applied.
Just readjust one of the controls one time per boot.


- There is no sound in games with OpenAL support or using Creative ALchemy
Disable Advanced EQ and Special FX selecting "No effects" before running the game or program.


- Equalizer settings are lost
It happens after you run a game with OpenAL support or using Creative ALchemy. This issue also occurs in Windows XP, so it is not specific to this Windows Vista driver.

When you restart the computer or run Equalizer, the saved setting is automatically loaded.

- No sound when CMSS is enabled using Audio Console (4.1 or more speakers)
Just move the Stereo Focus slider and set it back to the desired position, even if it is 0 (zero). Once the setting is saved, works properly.

This issue does not affect EAX Settings.


- Windows Vista MIDI Device Configuration Utility
Use this utility to change the MIDI playback device for 32-bit and 64-bit applications.
The driver installer automatically selects the first hardware MIDI synthesizer found.

Note: The Audigy 2 ZS Notebook (PCMCIA) does not have a hardware synthesizer.

OpenAL is for all sound cards. The only problem is if your sound card drivers support OpenAL.

Note: I'm using daniel_k packs for the last 2 years and I can say that he did an excellent job. It seems that he has advanced coding skills (he proved it all these years), thus you know what you get.


And here something important that daniel_k wrote, about the tweaks and optimizations that can be applied to Creative's drivers:

QUOTE
Does this driver improve sound quality or performance? Are there any tweaks?

No, this driver does not improve sound quality nor increase performance.

No, there are no tweaks.

If someone states that its driver improves sound quality and performance, you are being fooled, cheated.

It is even worse that the so called tweaks come from a person who is not EVEN technically acknowledged, does NOT know anything about Windows internals, software engineering and sound fidelity that all audiophiles always look for.

If you "feel" the sound better, that is the infamous placebo effect and there is no real proof that any tweaks work.

In fact, I have yet to see a driver that states in its release notes that it improves sound quality.

I've disassembled about every single .SYS driver, .DLL libraries and .EXE executables and found nothing.

There are some undocumented registry values, but nothing related to sound quality or performance.

Would the so called tweaks even exist, they would be in my Support Packs, you can bet that.



I have also tried to figure out, with my tiny knowledge, if there are any tweaks at all in Creative's drivers, but I couldn't find any performance related. Maybe because of my lack of knowledge, or maybe because they don't exist. I will believe daniel_k in this matter, who is a lot more advanced programmer than me. I'm still a rookie. :)

Conclusion: Thus if you get other packs that use Creative's drivers and state that they improve the performance etc. etc., then you are being fooled and cheated.

[edit]

IMPORTANT:

I suggest you that after installing this CD, then you should install SB Audigy Series Support Pack 3.8 by daniel_k. The Support Pack 3.8 by daniel_k has fixes and improvements that are not included in this CD.

Also daniel_k said that he will probably release a new version of his Audigy Series installation CD.
