Daniel KawakamiI've received another cease and desist e-mail.

I'm done with Creative, enough is enough.

Don't even bother asking me for the files.

tigger69It seems to me creative have only added ddl/decoder page back in to appease the creative users who have discovered ddl works fine but they just disabled it to force people to buy a new card.

Is it true the new creative titanium pci-e cards fully support the "new" audio system in vista,without the need for alchemy?
the Titaniums only bring dolby encoding to the table, and better playback quality - that's it. There's been no change to the hardware at all, really (maybe a better DAC or OPAMPs, but doubtful).


as to the UAA thing - it's marketing gimmick . . . that's all it is is a marketing spin on the use of OpenAL (which the card supports, and is included with the driver set). OpenAL is technically "universal" as it's not proprietary (meaning any audio card can use it if supported), and all OSes can support OpenAL, so, in theory, no matter what OS you run, you can run that card.

the only way the card could have OS level hardware acceleration, was if it was integrated at the motherboard level, and could be directly accessed by WASAPI - but, seeing as how the card would exists on a PCIE BUS, that can't happen. Big reason why there have been no headaches with any software on systems running onboard audio.
