download easybcd(google it) under advanced u can enable the use of unsigned drivers, u will still be asked if your sure you want to install them but after that they work just like normal drivers.

Just a FYI for people. I feel the importance of this topic needs further exposure, I have just emailed one of the guys at the tech report, who knows what may happen :D also if any news guy here at TPU wants to stick it on front page or make a news item about it, go ahead.

the problems that many people having are not the fault of the drivers, its the fault of creatives drivers, meaning we have to move to editing the creative drivers

many of the incompatiblities with vista lie in creatives drivers disabling most of the features you would find in XP.

This is pretty sweet but I waiting for someone to force the ATI HDMI audio to support 5.1 for gaming and windows audio not just video play back.

doesnt work and never will.

1. the Creative drivers bluescreen on the ATI HDMI.

2. those sound cards are 2 channel only, without real time encoding - and they lack that hardware. HDMI will never support 5.1 gaming without an encoder card - ever

also probbly against HDCP specs for one reasion or another, DRM saves the day again!!!!

and it should be POSSIBLE as i understand it the encoding on cmedia and onboard solutions is done in software not hardware.

also probbly against HDCP specs for one reasion or another, DRM saves the day again!!!!

and it should be POSSIBLE as i understand it the encoding on cmedia and onboard solutions is done in software not hardware.

no there is definately hardware involved. My auzentech X-mystique uses the same chipset as an X-plosion and HTOmega striker 7.1, yet even tho i've modded their drivers to install on my card i still dont get DTS encoding, which is supported on both of those cards but not mine.

There is definately a hardware *and* software component to it. One good example: My auzen and my ATI HDMI are both only capable of 16 bit, 44/48Khz while my realtek with DTS encoding can do 24 bit 96KHz - there are bitrate limitations that prevent DTS encoding on my card, regardless of what software can do.

could easly be the driver detecting your chip as not being the revision it wants(weather its got the same hardware inside or not) and then auto dissabling said features, seen that b4, also seen people mod around it, takes alot of knowhow and time though, to much effort for me.
