    That may be. But if you are already running the WHQL set from last week, there isn't much point in changing.

      But I wasn't running the set from last week at station-drivers

      Still...good thing for people to know. The leaked set and this new official beta release are identical.

        Select the driver for your audio device and then click the Add/Remove button.
        Do not install this driver for the Creative Sound Blaster Audigy LS, Sound Blaster Audigy SE or Sound Blaster Audigy Value audio device.
        Some Creative applications such as Surround Mixer, THX Console, and Creative MediaSource™ may not work properly with this beta driver.

            Re: New CREATIVE AUDIGY2 all versions OPENAL driver at creative..

            So do I need to install specific drivers for my audigy 2 to run openal?

            I replaced the bf2openal file with ...the other one...openal.dll (after renaming it)

            It kinda goosed the sound though.

                Drivers are still working great. No issues whatsoever.

                I have not replaced the BF2OpenAL.dll on my system...it causes audio pops. Otherwise, I still use the "vars.set sound-maxreverb 3" edit in the sound.con file and I think it sounds great

                  Thanks for bringing that up Stormy Im using the station-drivers set without issue so Im glad I didnt go thru the hassle to end up like Talus and lose stuff(I know you fixed it Talus) all my stuff works(EQ, Media Source, etc)So I liked to keep it that way

                    Oh yeah..I learned my lession for sure.

                    That was the first time I've ever had an issue upgrading audio drivers using Driver Cleaner though...but never again

                      These worked fine for me. I don't use all the extra Creative stuff though. The sounds effects seem to be a little more detailed. For instance, a missle going by my head seemed to have a more realistic 'whirr' sound, instead of the plain 'phss' sound.

                        When in game i can hear things more clearer and louder. The sound is just more stereo like using EAX.

                                See my thread, it fixed itself for some unknown reason, works fine now and I didn't even do anything...
