사블 생명 연장의 꿈 메치니코프 daniel_k는 사블 개조 드라이버로 유명합니다. 요즘은 저작권 문제 등으로 대놓고 기능개조하거나 하는건 별로 없지만, X-Fi 시리즈별로 파편화(?) 되어있는 드라이버 컴포넌트 업데이트들(예를 들어 어떤 컴포넌트는 티타늄 HD드라이버에만 최신버전이 배포되고 어떤 컴포넌트 최신 버전은 또 다른 제품 드라이버에만 들어있고 등등)을 싹 모아서 한꺼번에 깔끔하게 깔리도록 해놔서 평가가 좋습니다.
예전에 아무리 해도 문제 해결이 안 되서 사블 버리려던걸 daniel_k 드라이버 깔고 깔끔하게 해결되었단 사례를 몇번 본적도 있고요. DDL 초창기 언락 드라이버 등의 떠들썩한 사건으로 얻은 명성도 한 몫한다고 봐야 겠고요.
robertmc8 의 PAK드라이버도 평가가 좋지만, 제가 포럼 분위기를 보기엔 daniel_k가 한수 위인 듯 (daniel_k는 여러차례 잠수한적 있고 지금 버전 나오기 전까지 꽤 오랫동안 업데이트가 없었던 반면, robertmc8는 그동안에도 잦은 업데이트가 있었고 포럼활동에도 열심히여서 여기저기 도움도 주고 드라이버 얘기 나올때마다 PAK도 좋으니 한번 써보세요. 식으로 홍보도 열심히 한걸 감안하면 꽤 차이가 난다고 봐야 겠죠.
물론 PAK드라이버나 정식 버전을 더 만족하며 쓰는 분들도 있으니 무조건 뭐가 최고다기 보다는 자신에게 맞는게 뭔지 찾아서 쓰는게 좋겠죠.

Does this driver improve sound quality or performance Are there any tweaks ?
No, this driver does not improve sound quality nor increase performance.
No, there are no tweaks.
If someone states that its driver improves sound quality and performance, you are being fooled, cheated.
It is even worse that the so called tweaks come from a person who is not EVEN technically acknowledged, does NOT know anything about Windows internals, software engineering and sound fidelity that all audiophiles always look for.
If you "feel" the sound better, that is the infamous placebo effect and there is no real proof that any tweaks work.
In fact, I have yet to see a driver that states in its release notes that it improves sound quality.
I've disassembled about every single .SYS driver, .DLL libraries and .EXE executables and found nothing.
There are some undocumented registry values, but nothing related to sound quality or performance.
Would the so called tweaks even exist, they would be in my Support Packs, you can bet that.

OpenAL 2D benchmark in RightMark 3DSound crashes your system
Due to a driver bug, your system will crash if you run the OpenAL 2D benchmark using 63 buffers. No problem With 62 or fewer buffers. OpenAL 3D and OpenAL 3D + EAX benchmarks are not affected.
Details: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (0x000000D) - ctoss2k.sys

There is no DirectSound hardware acceleration on Windows XP 64-bit (x64)
The Audigy driver does not support 64-bit addressing, disabling the DirectSound hardware acceleration and causing multichannel sound to be played only in the stereo channels (front left/right).
Workarounds:
- install the 32-bit (x86) version of Windows XP.
- limit to less than 4GB the amount of RAM available to Windows.
- enable the "Memory Hole" setting in the BIOS Setup, if your motherboard supports it.
Microphone issues on Windows 7/Vista 64-bit (x64) with 4GB of RAM or more
Audigy driver does not support 64-bit addressing, resulting in random issues with the Microphone (static, robotic or distorted voice, white noise).
Workarounds:
- connect your microphone to your motherboard's integrated HD Audio input
- install the 32-bit (x86) version of Windows
- limit the RAM available to Windows to less than 4GB
- enable Memore Hole in BIOS Setup, if your motherboard supports the setting
MediaSource DVD-Audio Player system requirements
- 32-bit edition of Windows 7 / Vista / XP
- any Audigy 2, Audigy 2 ZS or Audigy 4 card
Built-in Decoder on Windows 7 / Vista (requires Service Pack )
To use the built-in decoder, make sure it is enabled in Audio Console.
Select "SPDIF Out (Creative SB Audigy (WDM))" as the output device of your player and then configure the AC3/DTS filter to send the stream through SPDIF.
When you restart your computer, the Tone settings (Bass and Treble) are not applied.
Just readjust one of the controls one time per boot.
Advanced EQ and Special FX not available on Windows 7 / Vista
These presets don't work on Windows 7 / Vista.
There is no sound in games with OpenAL support on Windows XP
Disable Advanced EQ and Special FX selecting "No effect" before running the game or program.
Equalizer settings are lost
When you run a game with OpenAL support or using Creative ALchemy, the Equalizer settings are lost.
Just run Equalizer and the saved setting is loaded automatically.
Tone settings are reset when speaker configuration is changed
Bass and treble settings are reset when speaker configuration is changed.
DTS Encoder Switcher
The Encoder Switcher is now part of Audio Console.
A shortcut is created in the Programs -> Creative folder in Start Menu.
For additional info, read thoroughly the ReadMe.txt file included in the \EncSwitcher folder where you extracted the Support Pack.
On Windows 7/Vista, when using DTS Interacti've encoder, you MUST use ANOTHER SPDIF Out device, otherwise the CTAudSvc (Creative Audio Service) won't work properly (high CPU usage).
Hardware CMSS Headphone
To use the hardware CMSS you need to select "Disable all enhancements" in the "Enhancements" tab on:
Playback Devices -> Speaker Properties
Now check the Speaker configuration in "Playback devices".
If it is Stereo, run Audio Console and change it to 4., 5. or 7. and only after that change it to Headphones.
This procedure ensures that CMSS() will work after a Windows restart, otherwise only CMSS2 will work.
MIDI Device Configuration Utility for Windows 7 / Vista
Use this utility to change the MIDI playback device for 32-bit and 64-bit applications.

Remove all apps, driver then remove the Creative folders in the Program Files (x86) and Program Files folders.
Under the 64-bit edition of Windows 7/Vista, you might want to try the Win7Vista_4GB_MicFix.reg registry patch that might fix the issues with the Microphone when there are 4GB of RAM or more memory installed. Simply double click the registry file and restart Windows. It is not guaranteed to work on every system.
