Final updates for my Support Packs and farewell

Hi everyone.

It's been almost 15 years since my first pack, now it's time to say goodbye.

This is my last round of updates for my Support Packs. They were under testing since January to ensure the best experience to everyone.

Thanks to canonkong, a nice chinese guy, my drivers are properly signed and can be easily installed without any special procedures, even with Secure Boot enabled.

Please read the ReadMe during Setup for more useful information.

Hopefully the changes in Windows 11 won't break the drivers to the point of being unusable.

Thanks for your support for all these years.

Take care,
daniel_k

• THX Console was not available.
• Sample Rate Converter (SRC) 48kHz bug introduced in versions 2.30 (PCI) and 2.40 (Titanium PCIe) that crashed Windows if you:
  - Tried to change master sampling rate in Audio Creation mode.
  - Played a non-48kHz audio using ASIO.
  - Tried to change default format of SPDIF Output.
  - Played any audio while OpenAL is in use, even a Windows notification sound.
• OpenAL works fine, tested on many games (Bioshock, Killing Floor).

- Bugs / Limitations:

• Settings not being saved (Auzentech Prelude / Forte / HomeTheater HD)
  - Configure all settings and disable and re-enable the card in Device Manager.
  - If the device is busy, shutdown, hibernate or put your computer to sleep so that your settings will be saved.
  
• Memory integrity (feature of core isolation) cannot be enabled on Windows 10

  Before installing the Support Pack, see the ReadMe.txt \XFTI_WUH for instructions and a workaround. As a side effect, jack detection and WaveRT will be unavailable.
