Daniel Kawakami Creative Drivers
Daniel_K, the Creative Labs fan who fixed the company's broken Vista sound card drivers, just e-mailed with his side of the story. 'My name is Daniel Kawakami and I'm Brazilian,' he writes. 'I'm NOT a cracker, a hacker, just an enthusiast modder with basic assembly knowledge and very persistent.' Kawakami's expertise allowed him to enable advanced features in sound cards that Creative advertised as Vista-compatible, but which did not perform as well under that operating system as they do under Windows XP. After tolerating the distribution of his unofficial drivers for a time, Creative's vice president of corporate communications, Phil O'Shaughnessy, ultimately asked him to stop, and accused him of '.'

Daniel_K, the Creative Labs fan who fixed the company's broken Vista sound card drivers only to be threatened by the corporate brass, just e-mailed with his side of the story. 'My name is Daniel.
O'Shaughnessy also wrote that whether or not it cripples its Vista drivers is a 'business decision that only we have the right to make.' The rest of Kawakami's e-mail follows, verbatim, after the jump. ALchemy It all started when Creative released the first beta of ALchemy for X-Fi cards, saying it used X-Fi's advanced capabilities (EAX5). After some investigation, I've found an EAX5.0 check and patched it. And it worked! Sometime later, they released the final version of ALchemy X-Fi and the paid version of ALchemy Audigy.

In a life that spanned 74 years, Fante wrote several great novels, such as Ask the Dust, and numerous screenplays. The book was Ask the Dust and the author was John Fante. He was to be a lifetime influence on my writing. I finished Ask the Dust and looked for other books of Fante's in the library. I found two: Dago Red and Wait Until Spring, Bandini. They were of the same order, written of and from the gut and the heart. Yes, Fante had a mighty effect upon me.

I was realy mad at them, they didn't release a new Audigy driver and were charging Audigy owners for a software that runs on top of bugged drivers? What is the point of that? Then I modified the X-Fi 'free' version of ALchemy, not the paid version. I did the same with the later versions, but when they released the 1.00.11, I couldn't patch it anymore. So I bought it, just for the sake of it. Well, I did manage to patch the latest version of ALchemy X-Fi to run on any card, without even removing Safecast, but I'm done with that. The Audigy drivers They took several days, countless Vista reinstalls.
Creative purposedly modified the Audigy drivers to disable some features when Vista is detected and also purposedly introduced some bugs to prevent some XP utilities from running. I did a complete analysis of the driver to determine where all the checks and bugs were introduced and started modding. Features that I've successfully enabled: - Dolby/DTS decoding (originally discovered by another Creative forum member, but I've explained how to use it) - CMSS, CMSS2 and Stereo Surround (originally only 'CMSS' was available, this setting also affects ALchemy/OpenAL, so it is really useful) - Advanced EQ and Special FX presets - DVD Audio - Hardware MIDI synthetizer (I wrote a small utility that automatically detects and changes the default Vista MIDI Synth during driver install or can change it later using its GUI. Some media players lets you choose the MIDI synthesizer) - Equalizer (with preset saving, very hard to accomplish, had to deal with bugs in Creative software and use my creativity to find a workaround). - WaveRT (a Microsoft replacement for ASIO, however I don't know if it really works or not) The Live!/Live! 5.1 drivers Creative have always released UDA (Unified Driver Architeture) drivers.
