Don't say that, I'm not that intelligent. Patient, yes, for sure.

That's too bad this takes me nowhere.

But.. who knows what might be coming.

Thanks for your continuous support!

Daniel I've question... Is possible to unlock built-in decoder in Elite Pro (WIN7)? I have sound card with 3rd part software decode support. In Win XP with your drivers i could enjoy DD from XBOX360 on PC.

Thanks for this. All working fine on my Windows 7 x64 RC with extremeMusic. The inclusion of the automode switcher was good, I have been looking for that for ages.

Very Good Work Daniel!

It could even be possible, provided one knows the algorithm to update the checksum of modified files.

Creative should sell the decoder feature and give the user an option, although on Win7/Vista, it seems the lack of Directsound acceleration causes the decoding to use way too many resources.

Hi Daniel,

 I have the x-fi platinum champion with front bay running on windows 7 x64. I connect my headset through the front bay. So far with all packs I seem to get the same problem under win 7. I automatically check to mute speakers on headset connect. When this is done and I load teamspeak and play a game, say COD4, after 5-10 minutes I lose sound completely. What I have to do at that point is go back in the creative volume control panel and uncheck mute on headset connect for sound to return and play with the input(2.1 / headset / 4.1 speaker settings). I am wondering if you would know what could be causing this problem?
