What is Digg?9 Comments
- rgonzruiz, on 03/30/2008, -1/+3Thanks... this is one of the first results on a google search for "daniel_k drivers" ... it made the search quite easy :P
- pepsi224, on 03/31/2008, -0/+1I hope Creative suffers profusely for this. I've been avoiding installing Vista for quite a while now because my X-Fi Platinum (which optically powers my Logitech Z-5500s) doesn't completely work. A user comes along providing a service which they've refused to give, and they lash out at him. Screw off Creative - that'll be the last of your cards I ever buy.
- Dunhamzzz, on 03/31/2008, -0/+1Well this is bound to suffer Digg effect.
Mirror for when it does: http://www.wtf.is.it/creative_drivers_daniel_k.htm ... - InsaneNutter, on 03/31/2008, -0/+1The readme says - hardware supported:
- Audigy series
- Audigy 2 series
- Audigy 2 Value
- Audigy 2 ZS series
- Audigy 2 ZS Notebook
- Audigy 4 series
I remember reading somewhere that the Sound Blaster PCI 512 and Sound Blaster Live are not supported, I could be wrong but I don’t have either card to test with. - AnnihilatorESP, on 03/30/2008, -1/+2There's a version of this drivers for SB PCI 512 or SB Live!?

- janlafata, on 08/08/2008, -0/+0Boy is this getting confusing! I have had trouble with SP1 in that, after install, it shows my amount of RAM at 16.0 GB's, when in reality I only have 2 GB's. I've been in contact with Microsoft on this and they are even stumped, though apparently still working on it.
But I've done a little research of my own on it and found a web page that list SP1 driver incompatibilities. http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=948343. If you scroll down, you will see my Creative Audigy SE listed there and that's what I run.
So then I run into these drivers that Daniel K designed. They were found on this page:
http://www.vista4beginners.com/Windows-Vista-SP1-D ...
I downloaded the P17X_PCDVT_LB_1_04_0079.exe and installed it, but it was with SP1 already on it and of course, it did nothing to fix my problem because I stupidly forgot to read that you should install this driver before installing SP1.
So I uninstalled SP1, then installed the driver. No change. It still showed me running 16.0 GB's
After that, I just uninstalled SP1 and said "heck with it" for awhile. But then I ran into this site:
http://digiex.net/drivers/164-creative-audigy-seri ...
It also talked about Daniel and his drivers. But the drivers listed on this page for my Audigy SE had different numbers on it than on the other page and the file was bigger also, so I downloaded it.
At this point SP1 was not installed and I went ahead and tried to install this newer driver. I didn't get very far. Eventually a screen popped up that said it did not detect any device, which was surprising to me because my Audigy SE was installed. So I aborted and now I am back to the drawing board.
I have even done extreme things to solve this whole SP1 incompatibility issue, including actually removing my Creative sound card all together, getting rid of as many Creative registry entries as I can and then enabling my onboard sound, Still no change in the amount of RAM showing.
So I am back to running my Audigy sound card and right now I am not running SP1. I also waiting to hear from Microsoft on this issue. It's been a mess! - sly7765, on 04/01/2008, -0/+0looks like Creative has responded...
