TY (I will read peeps comments on CL Forums before trying lol).

EDIT, What do these bring to me, NOTHING.

Same crap, CMSS still is broken (used to work) without EAX enabled.

The Multiple Volume Sliders are still not Sync with the Master Volume apart from at 0% and 100% Volume, Example : Set Volume to 50%, on Master and Multiple Sliders will only be 30% so quieter.

Volume overall lower on last 2 builds (1 Beta and this final).

Cant believe that Creative still don't have a fully working set of drivers. May be looking at another manufacturer in the new year cos I am getting ****** off with the lack working features on my Sound Card.

Sorry for the Rant OP and thanks for trying to help.

Using these now, notice no difference from the previous drivers except maybe a tad more quiet.

I feel exactly the same as you, I ditched my XFI precisely for that reason and now I'm running from my onboard P5keWifiprem board and love it...lol
