Sometime later, they released the final version of ALchemy X-Fi and the paid version of ALchemy Audigy. 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.
