Creative Labs USB Sound Blaster X-Fi Surround 5.1 (Windows 10 Driver & Tools pack?)

toxsickcity

Hi,

 

I found this in my stash of old bits and my motherboard audio just gave up.

I plugged it in and have sound automatically but no way to adjust all the goodies the X-FI has to adjust.. (crystallizer etc...)

 

does anyone know if there is a home made driver pack somewhere for this USB Sound Card?

 

Cheers

Shaun

Didn't work unfortunately.

Just does not detect the device.

 

Just plays audio at flat equaliser..

 

A bit boring I might say.

 

I might have to get my HDAV Xonar and find a driver for it.. but don't have anywhere to install this sucker.
