The Extigy2 AE software bundle was put together shortly after Creative shut down the Sound Blaster X-Fi MB3 activation servers. Quite a few users were left without a way to to activate the software that they had purchased.

This bundle uses a newer Creative driver and control panel to correct some of the unfixed issues with Sound Blaster X-Fi MB3 under Windows 10.

Currently, HDAUDIO and USB devices are supported. I'm open to trying to add others. Windows 10 is required due to some features missing from Windows 7 & 8 that are required by the configuration program.

*Features*
  • SBX Surround
  • Crystalizer
  • Bass Enhancement
  • Smart Volume
  • Dialog Plus
  • Scout Mode
  • Creative EAX ADVANCED HD 5.0
  • Creative ALchemy
  • 10-band graphic equalizer

Download Extigy2 AE 2.21.6.1

Nice find..

Works just fine on my Asus laptop.
Will try it out on my Msi X570 pc.

This way i can use the official driver for the alc1168 audio chip that's on it

Using the official driver for the audio chip itself is definitely what this is aimed at. No need to mess around with modified drivers that are never quite right.

Also works on my x570 board, however the surround option does not do much..

Was hoping it would just do the same as my old XFi copying front speakers to the rear ones.

Looks more like a design choice in the drivers themselves...

Why can't Realtek just give us the proper option to use all speakers instead of just stereo for music playback.
