Bundled utilities

It's good news for users of previous Creative cards. According to our forum visitors, the new drivers and utilities work on almost all Creative cards, including Live. We could make this certain only on Audigy2 Platinum eX that actually worked well.

EAX Console

Demos

After you install the software and reboot, you are prompted to check card's capabilities and even listen to a 24-bit/192kHz sample. Other makers don't offer such pleasures.



All card features are described in detail in special interactive presentations.





You can also compare the 16/44 stereo and 24/96 5.1 switching them on the fly.



We don't even mention the nice bundled DVD-Audio. Though there's fly even in this ointment: Creative's DVD-A player can play video, so user can't see the recorded textual and graphics parts of the demo, and will have to find WinDVD 5.0 with a special DVD-Audio pack.
