[QUOTE="Paranoid Delusion, post: 252128, member: 13176"] Yes using them now, great to get some gaming features back. Also read the daniel_k story (google for info), whoops Creative, just think you shot yourself in the foot. Nice to get EQ back, but i would say for general htpc use, not much improvement unless you want some auditorium effects. Dolby etc can be had with the likes of PowerDVD7 as a codec anyway, do not notice any difference processor wise between supposedly HW use of DTS or software version. No clear instruction on setup with the download but a driver needs to be installed prior to running ISO, which is the opposite from i have found on the creative forum, which suggest iso\cd install, then the patch supplied by daniel k. Also gave me a chance to test onboard ALC850 Realtek (never tried it) sound against the Audigy, sounds very weak in comparison on normal settings (did adjust), but just loved the auto detect feature, vote definately goes to a soundcard rather than onboard though.
