Creative Audigy CPanel Settings

[Dynaletik]

Does anyone of you know, where the Creative Control Panel saves its settings like the speaker environment?

In the driver's .inf file

[Dynaletik]

I only got the file "wdma_emu.inf".

So where in there are the settings for

1. the speaker setting

2. the CMSS

3. the Stereo Focus?

Hmmm... I guess I've confused 2 drivers... Indeed they are NOT in the driver's .inf file... I looked in the other files as well, but couldn't find it. Probably it's coded in one of the .ini files, which are not readable by a regular notepad...

I think the best way to pre-set the volume etc. is the following:

1. download regshot/regsnap

2. make a snapshot of registry when you've set all your settings to something you DON'T want

3. set your settings CORRECT and take again a snapshot of your registry

4. let regshot/regsnap compare them, do a little bit of research within the results and you'll have what you need.

Unless of course.... Creative sets the settings not in the registry...

Thanks first of all... it seems as if the following parts of the registry change the speaker configuration:

(5.1 Speaker)

But the CMSS setting isn't saved in the registry...
