i never used that redirection stuff, i went back in time to old drivers and they still had no bass in cmss surround not that xpand rubbish. I swore at comp and it came back to life. So confused.
I think I may give it a few days and see what everyone thinks of them firstly before installing myself, I'm running the beta's at the minute and they are working fine so..."if it ain't broke"...........................update to the new drivers anyway......lol

With regards to the X-Fi Elite Pro. A small bug was found in this driver that can cause a slowdown at shutdown, when you are running Cubase LE. If you do not run Cubase LE or are prepared to put up with this (minor) problem, then it is absolutely fine to install this driver for the X-Fi Elite Pro aswell. The driver team hopes to have this problem fixed soon, but I just wanted to give you all a heads up, if you want to install the driver in the meantime.

Works great for me. Sound quality is the same since I'm using digital out (I'd hope so, too!).
It's strange how the graphical interface is not included in the driver download. If you want it then you can run a custom installation from the original CD.

But if you don't have the CD as I brought an OEM card you can get that CD package here http://files.filefront.com/ISO_SB_X...;/fileinfo.html
I downloaded and installed and it works a treat!
