Kxproject drivers "3550" on Win98 (SBlive/Audigy[10k1/2])?

[awkduck]

It appears to me, that the last Kxproject driver (outside of community efforts) is 3550. There are earlier versions that work on Win98se and newer. Has anyone tried, or had any luck, getting/fudging newer versions to work? The driver/utilities source is available, now; so I can play around, at my leisure. However, my aim will be to get some functionality in Win98FE. I may decide it isn't a good aim I thought I should ask "here" before digging around, too much.

Well it might or might not work. I looked around and Kxproject drivers are WDM (Windows driver model) based which was used from Windows 98 onward. There are some differences in WDM between 98FE and SE and those changes may break things. You can try driver and see if it causes any errors.

 

There was also WDM update for Windows 98SE numbered Q242937/Q269601. That was included with some sound cards atleast. Not sure if 98FE had similar update. If you extract update using for 98SE it got newer wdm driver files. Yes I am totally aware you talk about 98FE and what i am getting after here is that you extract driver files from update using  /c switch then attempt dirty replacing on 98FE and hopefully not hose up things. Here is US version of update I kept copy on my site since it is hardest to find considering ms never distributed it on their site (https://web.archive.org/web/20000711041313/http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q242/9/37.ASP). Anyway below is nice direct download to the update.

I know this is not straight answer but better have kick in some direction than no kick to any direction at all. I am pretty sure there are little to none those mad-lads who insists on doing something just because (count me in to those ) , so you propably need figure stuff out yourself via trial and error. Of course I can try help best I can but I am not miracle, just ordinary boring technician.

Let me know how it goes and any errors may encounter
