Драйвер Windows 7 x64 для звуковых карт Creative SB Live!

В конце 90-х звуковая карта Creative SB Live! произвела революцию в области записи и воспроизведения звука на персональном компьютере. Вся мощь чипов EMU10K1 и EMU10K2, на которых собрано семейство SB Live!, идёт на обработку самого звука, не загружая центральный процессор. Они работает со звуком с частотой до 48 kHz. Соотношение сигнал/шум составляет 96dB. Картой поддерживаются стандарты: DirectSound, DirectSound3D, Environmental Audio Extensions (EAX). К сожалению, эпоха Windows XP закончилось, а с ней и время активного использования SB Live!, так как Creative прекратила поддержку этих звуковых карт.

Благодаря Евгению Гаврилову и его проекту kX Project, звуковые карточки серии SB Live! получили вторую жизнь. Им написаны драйвера для операционных систем Windows 7, 8, 10, в том числе x64. Стабильную версию драйвера можно скачать из вложения в конце данной статьи.

Список звуковых карт, поддерживаемых проектом kX Project:

— The E-mu Audio Production Studio (APS) card;

— The motherboard models of 10k1 cards (M002, M003 and others);

— PCI256 (CT4890, CT4891 and CT4893) and PCI512 (CT4820 and SB0150);

— Soundblaster Live! 5.1 cards (SB022x) are supported;

— Soundblaster Live! 24 Bit and Audigy LS are incompatible with kX, since they do not use the 10kX chips;

— Audigy2 ZS Notebook is supported, although some limitations apply;

— E-mu E-DSP based PCI devices are supported (0404, 1212, 1820, . ).

Порядок установки драйвера в Windows 7 x64:

1. Входим в BIOS и отключаем встроенный в материнскую плату кодек Realtek;

2. Ставим карточку в PCI слот, грузим ОС и ставим драйвер:

3. Если после перезагрузки компьютера звука нет, а в трее шкала со звуком есть, и все признаки того, что дрова встали — делаем следующее: Панель управления => Звук и ставим «Master Mixer» устройством по умолчанию как на картинке.

4. Если звук по-прежнему не появился — убеждаемся что в «диспетчере KX» отключён реверс тыла и фронта.

5. Если из колонок идет треск — кликаем правой кнопкой мыши на иконке KX в трее, «настройки» => «настройка буферов» и выставляем значения (1024KB, 9600bytes (

10.00ms), 16384bytes, 6 buffers, 4096 samples) как на картинке и жмём галочку:

Еще вариант настройки:

— идем «Панель управления» => «Звук», переключаемся на режим «Wave Out 2/3»

Используем KX-диспетчер с тонкими настройками: C:\Program Files\kX Audio Driver\3550\kxmixer.exe

1. Микрофон должен быть воткнут в красный/розовый порт вашей карты SB Live!;

2. «Панель управления» => «Звук». Вкладка «Запись» должна выглядеть как на картинке.

3. Открываем «диспетчер KX»: kxmixer.exe, во вкладке «AC97-кодек» ставим источник — «Мик», включаем и увеличиваем шкалу «Analog Recording Gain:»

4. Во вкладке «Запись» включаем и увеличиваем шкалу «Запись с AC97-кодека»:

5. Проверьте стоит ли процесс kxmixer.exe (диспетчер KX) в автозагрузке, иначе при перезагрузке все значения сбросятся.

Надеюсь данная новость будет приятной для многих любителей качественного звука.
