This pack is based on original Auzentech X-Fi Prelude driver, released on July 13th.
Few things that were changed. 1) Alchemy was updated to latest 1.30, newer then whats on creative site ![]() 2) DDL was updated to 3.00.03 3) DTS was updated to 1.03.04 to install run xfipreludeDriver1_2_NeKroCustom\Audio\Setup\Setup. exe Note: shortcuts in Startmenu will be created in Auzentech and Creative folders, need to be self-organized. in Extras folder you will find 1) AutoMode Switcher, allows to sellect X-fi Mode based on which application is currently running 2) THX Console - might be removed, problem getting it to work with new driver ![]() give it a try ![]() NeKroCustom 1.2 -- NEW - soon NeKroCustom 1.1 http://www.nekrosoft.net/xfipreludeD...eKroCustom.rar

Question. How much better is the X-Fi (or similar card based on the chip) than on-board in terms of audio quality?
I am using onboard on both my rigs and one is connected and setup for optical output and the desktop one is currently used to drive my 5.1 headset. If the audio quality is definitely superior, I am going to have to grab me one and try this pack out ![]()

It uses less CPU power to generate the sounds. I know that with CPU's today we aren't so much worried about that, but still, less power used is better right? The sound quality is also alot better. I noticed that with the onboard sound when I bought my Z5500's, the sound was all crackly and didn't sound right from the rear speakers. I put in the Creative Audigy 2 ZS I had lying around, and eliminated those problems immediately. I later bought the Auzentech X-Fi Prelude, and noticed a much greater difference over the Audigy 2.

not only that, but i also like setting up Bass Redirection to 80hz, it really makes Bass sound much better.
being able to adjust speaker dB levels, also helps.

Realtek or onboard audio < X-Fi XtremeAudio (not actually an X-Fi but a re-badged Audigy) < X-Fi XtremeGamer < X-Fi Fatality < Auzentech X-Fi Prelude Throw a tangential line between the XtremeAudio and XtremeGamer for a card like the Asus Xonar. I've not had my Prelude for very long, but it's far, far superior to the onboard on the eVGA X58. It's even better than the XtremeGamer I used to run in that system. It would be well worth paying retail for, though you can probably find it cheaper on eBay--I got mine there for less than $100.

Very good, i just want to know how do people have the knowledge or abilities to do this kind of work?
Changing a driver or driverpack isn't something the consumer has the aptitude in but you must dude very nice. I guess their people at home that must be smart enough to manipulate software.

According to an old PM from Lord-Ex-Bu, the caps and the opamps are what's subpar on the X-Fi cards. You can replace them and get even better sound from the card.
