Modified drivers for X-Fi sound cards.

There was an error somewhere in the card itself, you need to remove the card from the slot, remove the driver and then insert the card into the slot and install the driver.

Thanks a lot, great advice! I moved the card to another PCI slot, installed driver and it worked! I then moved the card back to the initial PCI slot, installed the driver, and it resumed working too as before the crash!

I still wanted to ask you if there any performance or feature difference between yours and Daniel Kawasaki drivers and Creative apps mods? In which Creative card models this difference is especially noticeable? I installed Daniel's driver for now since it worked before well in Win 11, but may be some extra features are available with your drivers mod? I didn't yet install any Creative apps, will do later.

Another thing is, remotely related, after some Win 11 update the OS max sound volume for any app or card & device went way lower than before. I considered it the "update bug", but today I installed VoiceMeeter, and even without visibly using or launching it, Win 11 max sound volume for any app or card went back up to the original max level or higher. Probably some registry entries were fixed by installing that app? Other similar apps didn't produce such effect.

Daniels drivers has less sound quality than the 2.17 something with the THD changed.

@Antes533 there is no possible way to use connection other than SPDIF and have the 3D surround XEAR/CMSS3D like COXIAL? I have COXIAL on my DAC/AMP, how can I connect them?

For example, the eCLARO HT OMEGA and the Titantium HD? because SPDIF and COXIAL work different I think, it's different connectors
