Hey here,

today i bought a new Soundblaster X-Fi Soundcard.

But what i found as driver was horrible...250 files in 60Mbs....ufff thats a bit too much for a sound driver isn't it?!

Maybe some guys of you have the knowledge to find out whats the raw driver.

To get an overview of the driverpack download it here: http://drivers.softpedia.com/progDownload/...load-13773.html

60 MB of driver files. I hope you don't need all those file in RAM.

I'll look into it. XP you use?

Basicly you find the relevant inf's, scan their sourcedisksfiles section and keep only those files.

It's possible to makecab the files in the subdirs to reach smallest size. Next time you do it yourself, ok

Yeh nLite XP SP2 ;-)

I can see driver details of the driver, a file list of dlls and sys files but no infs.

I want to integrate the minimal driver into nlite.

I've installed the Driver and used a Driver Backup tool (Double Driver).

I integrate the driver with nLite into an cd and test if it installs correct.

If you have another method to safely reduce the driver to the only needs tell me.

@ HeadHunter2:

Does the driver posted by hp38guser work? Because I am waiting for my SoundBlaster X-Fi atm. Isn't the file ctzapxx.exe needed to finish the driver installation?

@hp38guser

thanks for the driver pack, unfortunately haven't you made that what i want.....

this driver is a kombodriver of all creative soundcards....

you left all files listet in the inf....but for all cards....

my idea was to keep only the ones which are necessary for an soundblaster X-Fi

EDIT: Finally i used a driver backuper to get all the files the driver needs put them in a folder and changed this folder in the inf so that windows doesn't manual search for them.

Got my X-Fi now and I will test the driver now. I think, best is to install the Creative AudioConsole at first start, so you can configure your card with a quite simple tool.

EDIT: I get an error code 20 using your driver. Device can not be started. So I use my own driver now. And on first run, I execute an WinRar SFR archive that contains the Creative Audio Console. Now the next problem is how to apply 5.1 speaker setting unattended. Is there any way??
