I've got an X-Fi Xtreme Audio. It does the job tbh and I got it for £5.

But previous people are right, it doesn't use the 'true' X-Fi chipset, it's a knock off version.

X-Fi Xtreme Audio is evil. Same applies to Auzentech Bravura. Sure it has better components, but the main chip is still crap. It's cheap but it's crap. Look for CA20K2 on a big chip. That's what you really want.

I just got my old Audigy SE off my uncle to try these drivers out. So far they seem alright, but Creative CMSS doesn't work.

Any comments about this issue? I would like to get CMSS to work...
