The static noise it's back even with this new beta deriver. I've tryed uninstalling and installing the driver with the same results. Looks like Asus won another client... Thank you Creative for helping me in taking this decesion!

I'm just curious what configurations are you using and what did you do to make the problem suddenly come back? I've been using this fix and so far it's been perfect! Could it be that you updated some new drivers such as a graphic card driver which somehow affected your system?

Hi Jedimind06,

Can you post up your system specifications as well as the steps to replicate this static noise?

The beta driver works great for me.  Before, I was unable to use anything above 16 bit 48000 Hz sample rate without generating alot of static in games (only happened when SLI was enabled in Vista.  Never had a problem in XP, though.)  Now I'm able to run any sample rate and I'm able to finally use DDL without the annoyance of static. 

Thanks for the fix!  Better late than never!

Specs:  Asus Striker II Extreme (790i Ultra), GTX280's in SLI, 8 gigs DDR3, X-fi Titanium, Vista 64/XP pro.

OS Vista 32

CPU Q9550@3,64Ghz

MB EVGA 790i Ultra SLI.

4 Gb DDR3 Patriot 

2X GTX 280.

All I did was to update the sound card driver, using the new fix. Everything was fine till one day when the static noise just came back... Same drivers, same OS, same hardware. Last night I've reinstalled de soundcard driver and it's ok most of the time. But seems that the problem reappears and it's annoying.  Right now I'm using the Titanium X-Fi with the digital output. The static noise it's more annoying when using the digital output, especially in games. Didn't tryied the X-fi Fatality Xtreme Gamer with the new beta driver yet.

I tried many different versions of drivers (including the latest beta) but still have the static noise (it comes and goes randomly).

BTW

I have an X-Fi Plat. Fatal1ty Champ, with a single GF8800 Ultra, Q6600, IP35 Pro, 2Gx4 RAMs and Vista Ultimate x64 SP1.

Latest beta drv. 2.17.07 works very well. Even Crysis Warhead is better. ( I use only headphone or lcd speakers).
