Doesn't the DFI use a Bernstein module and the Maximus a Soundmax PCI-E card?

my board has a bernstein 885, and it works.

the activation cant be bypassed, you either use it til the trial goes out or you pay for it.

trial was up by the end of the install.

then your only option is to buy a key.
Even if you wanted to, there are no cracks or serials available for this.

Is that just for the software or for the driver and the software?

software.
Drivers work fine, as they are free.

Fitseries3 · Apr 26, 2009

so the driver is what makes it better? i thought it was the software from what ketxxx said.

so in order for this to work you have to have a xfi card to get the key for the software, then ditch the card and use your onboard.

oh okay good. Im gonna have to give this a try after all then. Could care less about the software. I just want onboard sound drivers that will work with bioshock. Wish this cameout before I bought a sound card.

Ketxxx · Apr 26, 2009

The soundcard you bought wasn't much of a upgrade from on-board sound

So don't feel too bad

Well I am not too picky when it comes to sound. As long as I can hear it and it is not scratchy I am fine. I only use the built in speakers on my LCD. I bought it just for Bioshock. But now looks like I won't need it.

Ketxxx · Apr 26, 2009

lol

I envy you in a way, my sound has to be perfect or I'll mess with settings all day to get it right

Ha well if I could care I would. But I am on such a tight budget and my space is so small that Ive just learned to let it not bother me. Yes I need the quality to be good, but I can let it slide if its not perfect or near perfect. Now picture quality is another thing. I definitely do care a lot about that.

Ketxxx · Apr 26, 2009

I'm a little different there, as long as picture quality is above average then thats fine by me. Those panels with glossy screens do annoy me though, they capture so many reflections yet what are supposed to be highend panels almost always use those kinds of screens :shadedshu

MoonPig · Apr 26, 2009

Ket, you working on one for my silly Maximus?

Ketxxx · Apr 26, 2009

Probably, eventually, maybe, time permitting.

Mussels · Apr 26, 2009

doesnt that card already HAVE this stuff?

http://www.techspot.com/review/105-asus-maximus-2-formula/page2.html

the EAX 4.0 and CMSS 3D kinda imply your card needs no mods?

Ketxxx · Apr 26, 2009

Moonpig is talking about his driver not working in W7 at all.

its late. i beg forgiveness.

Ketxxx · Apr 26, 2009

Its fine, we all don't work right when its late

MoonPig · Apr 26, 2009

Yea, iam. Hopefully Kyle's SoundCard will cure my Win7 issues :-(

Scrizz · May 3, 2009

will this work on a laptop?

EDIT: nvm it works lol

Ketxxx · May 3, 2009

If the laptop uses a Realtek HDA codec, yes.

that card is nothing but the codec that was supposed to be on the board, I think you can use those drivers and edit the ini, and use it on any ADI HD codec

it used the X-Fi MB software also

Hey nice to see this thread again.

I will definitly try the new drivers!
