Hi

I've got an X-Fi xtrememusic card.

I was wondering if downloading the latest beta drivers would be an ok thing to do?

They are currently not supported, can anyone give me a second opinion.

With them I should be able to use EAX HD in BF2 , but without I cannot.




I know a topic was made on these drivers, but I couldnt find it in my search.

unlike for the other creative cards (audigy and so on) they are still developing drivers for the x-fi so I'd wait for the official release (unless you have any problems of course) - they also stated that those beta drivers didnt solve the stuttering yet, so I dont think its worth getting them

They increase the sound quality - but to be honest, keep your fingers away from them. They make BF2 even more unstable as it is already and i got a lot of crashes due to the Beta drivers (Busted App - Invalid OpenAL driver ... or something like that).

I recently rebuild my machine with a fresh install of Windows XP and went straight to the May beta drivers from Creative and BF2 1.3 patch.  I got the busted app problem occassionally so I tried replacing the BF2OpenAL.dll in the BF2 directory with the OpenAL32.dll file from my system 32 folder (make a backup and of course rename the new file to match the BF2 filename).  This appears to have fixed the busted app problem... several hours error free so far.
