Please allow me to join the club smile.gif I just got an Elite Pro and pairing up with GMX-A2.1

I have been using the onboard sound for quite some time and there were indeed differences after investing on this card. Btw, what is EAX effects in the Audio console?

hi guys...want to ask... what is the function of crystalizer ar? i turn it 100% n 0% but cant really feel any significant sound difference wor... anythg that i did wrong?

i'm using the fatality from bliz btw notworthy.gif

In fact I was just about to ask regarding the Crystalizer biggrin.gif From what I read, it enchances the sound and suppose to make the SQ better but it only gives an advantage to low/mid range speakers. For the higher end ones, they'll turn it off. I tried on my Elite Pro and it does make a difference but I only had it at 20%-25%. It defaults at 50% but I feel it doesn't sound good at that point smile.gif

The mp3's is a bit crispier and nicer to listen with some Crytalizer turned on. I guess it's more of personal preference but anything above 50% makes the music sounds weird though.

Btw, do we really need to plug in the extra power for the X-Fi Elite Pro? I can run without the extra power now.

i dun thk the extra power is needed.. maybe to power the I/O console onli

The review says it's needed to power the card since standard PCI slot doesn't provide enough power. However the review was done in 2005 so perhaps motherboards which are available today no longer have such problems smile.gif I manage to run it fine but wondering if it's better to put the power connector.

If you don't mind OEM stuffs, you can get the Fatality from Garage Sales. I think that's more worth it smile.gif

You can just try and play around with the settings to see what is good for your ears smile.gif It's always personal preference

What's the latest X-Fi drivers available currently? Btw, Daniel K just removed his modded drivers so I guess we'll have to live with stock original drivers from today onwards? sad.gif

Yup, I saw this beta driver too and I'm on Vista32. Maybe you can post a review after you've installed biggrin.gif When I was using XP, the YouP-Pax gave a better and crispier sound over original Creative drivers. I'm not sure if it's my ears laugh.gif
