Realtek X-FI on ANY Realtek codec

KainXS · Mar 7, 2009

I was just tinkering around with realteks drivers for their gigabyte boards and got the X-Fi on my unsupported Realtek 883 codec

I will post pics later

I need a app that will tell me if EAX 4 is compatible

this is on XP as well

Not to be brash, but if Creative's history is not to be ignored, then explaining here how to do all that is like inviting Creative's lawyers to open a can of whoop-ass on you.

However, feel free to send me a PM on how you did all that, as I'm quite interested.

Mussels · Mar 7, 2009

i too would appreciate a PM.

KainXS · Mar 7, 2009

well im not gonna release any drivers only a pic ^^

but I can tell you how its done, and its so simple anyone can do it

May i have a copy of said PM?
Please?

Homeless · Mar 7, 2009

i'm interested in the 30 day crack

KainXS · Mar 7, 2009

I can tell you how to get them running with the 30 day trial but I cannot say nothing of the crack I made cause i don't want creative to destroy me lol

Homeless · Mar 7, 2009

pm if possible

KainXS · Mar 7, 2009

I'm only gonna send a pm to mussels for now

see if he can get it to work

but I will say again, This is SOOOOO SIMPLE, ANYONE CAN DO IT

EVEN A 5 year old in NOTEPAD could do this, but if you want the trial gone you gotta do that yourself

PM me it sounds very interesting? Is the sound difference that big?

KainXS · Mar 7, 2009

compared to what it sounded like before, kinda

compared to my XtremeMusic and my Omega its not very good still though

hint- all you gotta do is change 1 line, in 1 file and it will work for every realtek HD codec

that is how bad realtek codes their drivers, but creatives drivers do not even have to be touched

ShRoOmAlIsTiC · Mar 7, 2009

will it work in vista?

Mussels · Mar 7, 2009

I'm trying it now, however it should be noted that the drivers in question seem to be 32 bit only. If thats the case, i wont be able to do anything more to test them.

edit: download link says 32 bit vista only, but the files contain vista x64 and XP drivers. will report back.

edit 2: drivers installed. testing with the software.

KainXS · Mar 7, 2009

i hope you can get it to work mussels i tried to get it to work on vista but it kept getting blocked so i gave up and went to xp

"crosses fingers"

Xazax · Mar 7, 2009

The only problem i see with this is that its software emulated X-FI so I dont see what benefits there can be.. compared to a real X-FI card.. are there any?

half the X-fi cards are pure software anyway. its all a gimmick.

Xazax · Mar 7, 2009

I dont really think so.. If you stick to there "gamer" Edition cards.. however i totally agree on the low-end like the "Xtreme music" and etc

well, think of this as turning any old realtek audio into an Xtreme music, with the crystalliser and EAX support.

ShadowFold · Mar 7, 2009

PM please

Mussels · Mar 7, 2009

i've confirmed the drivers have installed, however the creative software refuses to work after installation. It says no supported hardware detected.

Unless someone can find a way of cracking the creative software, this is dead in the water for x64 systems, possibly 32 bit as well in vista and 7.

KainXS · Mar 7, 2009

T.T
THats what it did to me on vista too, the bypass didn't do squat on vista

well

anyone with XP wanna try it,

i kno it works on XP at least

T.T dam i really wanted to try this on vista

on XP to get it to work all you gotta do is edit the HDA887.ini and add your codec

man, anyone here good with drivers on vista

Mussels · Mar 7, 2009

Side note, if all people want is EAX, theres actually an application to do just that on realteks driver page. Not sure how high it goes, however. (EAX 2/3/4/5, i just dont know)

Kursah · Mar 7, 2009

Very interesting, iirc my G/F's GB P35DS3L has a Realtek sound setup of some sorts, I'll stick to my X-Fi Xtreme Music thank you, I don't use the extra goodies just the EQ, sounds damn good, and better than both my onboard and the g/f's onboard, though it would be interesting to do a comparison with something like this and my low-end x-fi for sure!

I'm sure this is just the beginning, definately promising if it can happen on Vista (especially x64), definately a nice find Kain!

:toast:

KainXS · Mar 7, 2009

nice

I'm sad though, cause i don't really use this old XP pc anymore really, I tried it on windows 7 and the crap wouldn't even load.

well anyway, i still like my omega better
