Release Notes:


Windows Security warning during driver installation on Windows XP

When prompted with "Windows can't verify the publisher of this driver software", choose "Install this driver software anyway".


Unsupported Audigy LS / Rocketfish 5.1 / SB 5.1 VX features on Windows XP

On Windows XP, 6.1 and 7.1 Speakers configurations are incorrectly available, as those cards do not have the hardware required to support these configurations.

Selecting 6.1 or 7.1 Speakers will automatically reset the configuration to 5.1 Speakers.


Auxiliary and S/PDIF-In record inputs and Microphone +20dB Boost available in the mixer don't work, as those cards do not support the features.



Configuring CMSS on Windows Vista or later

For all supported cards, except the X-Fi Xtreme Audio, Audio Console must be used to configure CMSS, which is not available in the Entertainment Console.
