For Pc gamers For eax users for all :)

[DABhand]

Thanks for that..

But was it necessary to post into Backup section???

[Grumpy]

Would like to download this myself but I get the typical pain in the butt rapidshare message off:

You have reached the download-limit for free-users. Want to download more?
Get your own Premium-account now! Instant download-access! (Or wait 119 minutes)

....and the annoying part is I haven't downloaded anything!!

Thats why and many others hate rapidshare links. ;)

[Joe Forster/STA]

If you're sitting on a Net access that is shared among multiple people (usually LAN at home or work) then you'll be seen as a single IP adress from the outside. As Rapidshare records downloads based on IP addresses - what else could it do?! -, it will tell you that you already downloaded stuff. Actually, no, you didn't, but someone from your LAN did.

(Sorry for the lecture if you already knew this... :))

[Grumpy]

Your lectures are always welcome with me Joe ;)

Yes I did know that and yes i am on a lan, but the other 2 systems are my kids and they wouldnt know what rapidshare is. And it wasnt me who downloaded from there.

I just dont like rapidshare and I guess rapidshare doesnt like me lol

[Joe Forster/STA]

The same can happen if you're on a dynamic IP at your ISP and the previous person, who had the IP address that you have now, downloaded stuff from Rapidshare... (No, I don't like Rapidshare either... ;))

[FREEMAN100]

God! I hate to luv Rapidshare....Its a shame its limited so much as the downloading side of it has always gave no trouble for downloading...Its getting past the OH i need more than 1 file.....

Thankz for posting this as it really helps us Audigy users...

[FREEMAN100]

Could someone please upload these to another site..So there is 2 as Rapidshare isnt letting me have them...Keeps saying I have downloaded to much..

Thankz :)

OMG RapidShare is a proper piece of shite..im still getting this fuckin error 23 hours after downloading the last bit FFS...:(...Well its 12.36Am the following day & its still telling me to wait 133 Mins then re telling me ive entered to many wrong codes...@"&%$^:<>@{+_*)^&%$"^

[Grumpy]

@Freeman
I have sent you a PM. ;)

[FREEMAN100]

Thankz for the PM...still cant get the last file even now..Its almost a conspiricy I tell you....Ooh, there on the last file I wont let them have it & hopfully they will sign up for an account.....HaHa

You have entered to many wrong codes.....havent even had the chance to download a file for nearly 36 hours...never mind input the wrong code over & over...

[Grumpy]

I finally got around to installing this today.

Must say it at first looks very impressive with the many flash features etc.
Unfortunately my Snap Crackle Pop problems are a lot worse now.

And the worst part, cant record to mp3 format anymore!! Yep Creative now want an additional $9.99 US for an MP3 Audio Pack!!!

So effectively their new version is actually a backward step!! You now have to pay for what was freely available in the older versions. Doesnt make sense!

Ahh Creative never ceases to amaze!! (Not entirely a good thing lol )

[Joe Forster/STA]

Good old "if it ain't broken, don't (try to) fix it" syndrome? :p

[Grumpy]

Thats the thing Joe, it was broken. lol

I have always had a problem with what they refer to as 'Snap Crackle Pop' (SCP). A popping or crackling sound thru the speakers.
People have been complaining about SCP for many many years. (cant remeber exactly how many years but its a lot).

This SCP occurs when using CMSS2 and Environment settings. With the older software I got around the SCP by creating my own environment setting and lowing the reverb in that one created setting.

But this new software wont allow you to create your own environment settings? So the SCP is a now a lot worse.

I only did a reformat yesterday so tested this new software on a fresh system.

Unfortunately Creative always seem to take the one step forward 2 steps backwards approach with anything they do! :)

As flashy as this new version is I will be going back to the older version. ;)
