Phil, yup, they have *definitely* helped the crackling sound on my system as well. Looks like they did a good job with the initial drivers, hopefully further revisions will be even better. Keep the shiney side up and the rubber side down!

Are these newer than the 2601.0 version you get from the windows update site??? Vintook "Rich Taylor" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > http://www.iexbeta.com/

Forget those, the Creative drivers really work! The updated MS ones didn't help the GPL problem at all. Iain "Vintook" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:8wrC7.998733$[email hidden]...

OK. This is driving me buggy. I frequently see posts like this that start with "OT:" in the header. What on earth does "OT" stand for. Where I come from it's, "Off Topic." If this post is off topic, then what is this group here for? -- "Racing! - Science for the action minded." mark "Rich Taylor" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > http://www.iexbeta.com/

OT = Off topic. people who are squeezed for time or have no interest in things not releated to sim-racing can filter all the messages that begin with OT. And...if it is something like a race result...those who haven't seen it yet can also avoid the thread. It is more of a courtesy to let folks know we are going off on a tangent that really has no releation to RAS... dave henrie "mark jeangerard" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:mulD7.1464$[email hidden]...

Not being the originator of the thread I can only assume. Since his subject line and post are strictly hardware/os releated, they technically don't apply to RAS's topics. However I agree wholeheartedly with you, many technical subjects need to be discussed here to get better performance from sims. Also, discussing real world racing allows us to compare the sims to the real thing. There are lots of subjects that could be OT, but they do have great import in Sim Racing. dave henrie "mark jeangerard" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:IFsD7.2889$[email hidden]...
