Final updates for my Support Packs and farewell

Hi everyone.

It’s been almost 15 years since my first pack, now it’s time to say goodbye.

This is my last round of updates for my Support Packs. They were under testing since January to ensure the best experience to everyone.

Thanks to canonkong, a nice chinese guy, my drivers are properly signed and can be easily installed without any special procedures, even with Secure Boot enabled.

Please read the ReadMe during Setup for more useful information.

Hopefully the changes in Windows 11 won’t break the drivers to the point of being unusable.

Thanks for your support for all these years.

Take care,
daniel_k

Auzentech X-FI Prelude 7.1 Sound Card | Installation, Drivers and Included Software | Audio

Installation, Drivers.To be honest, one of the things that really irks me most with Creative software is that it has a tendency to be either very buggy, and/or it is bloated to the max. Considering that the Auzen X-Fi Prelude uses Creative’s X-Fi drivers, it will be very interesting to see what Auzentech has decided to run with in the way of included software.

Installation was a typical affair; simply pop the card in and wait for Windows to recognise it, and then install the drivers. The drivers that I was supplied with for the review are currently in closed Beta, and are therefore not available for official release. I’m extremely happy to report that the software installation was the most painless process I have ever encountered…Especially under Windows Vista. In under 2 minutes and 1 reboot later I was up and running with the new Auzen X-Fi Prelude 7.1.

For those with alternative Operating Systems, particularly Linux, the news is not as good unfortunately. According to the Auzentech website a Linux driver will be made available around the 1st Quarter of 2008, but it will be limited. The first version of the X-Fi Prelude Linux-compatible driver will be very preliminary, and you can expect high-quality output without the full X-Fi Prelude feature set. Although I can understand the logic behind the decision, I still feel that it is high-time that all manufacturers acknowledged Linux as a viable enough Operating System to code a fully fledged driver and feature set for.

One thing that you will notice with the Auzen X-Fi Prelude card (if you have a windowed case) is that the card has a green LED on the side that glows static when booting up. But as soon as you get into Windows it starts to flash, and continues to do so. Some may not have a problem with it, but initially I found it a little distracting. I have included a short video illustrating the effect below:

Included SoftwareQuite honestly, this is the best inclusion of software that I have seen in a long time. No longer do you have to wade through the myriad of ‘Start Menu’ options that traditional Creative installations force upon you; instead there are just 4 — the Auzentech Audio Console, the Console Launcher, the Volume panel and Creative’s ALchemy (X-Fi Edition).


Creative ALchemy is included to provide support for an ever expanding number of games under Windows Vista. With the advent of Windows Vista, Creative ALchemy is needed to play advanced audio effects. I’ll let Auzentech explain it better:

It is necessary because prior to Windows Vista, the Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) enabled DirectSound and DirectSound3D technologies to play advanced audio effects. Many games have used these technologies for dynamic audio, but those same games sound flat when played in Vista. For newer releases, OpenAL has become the favorite technology. But what about the old games? That’s where ALchemy comes in: ALchemy translates the legacy DirectSound calls into OpenAL, and then passes control over to your soundcard driver. The result is full hardware accelerated 3D Audio and EAX support, just as the developers intended.

The Audio Console allows for initial setup options and setting whatever mode that you want the Console to run in.

The Mode Switcher screen also allows for changing audio modes depending on whether you’re going to game, listen to some tunes or create something special yourself.

By now many of you will already be familiar with the different modes, particularly for those of you already with X-Fi cards, so I’m going to be very brief and just include screenshots.

Under the Gaming mode, performance is enhanced with 3D soundscape, allowing you to hear bullets whiz past your head while explosions shake your room. EAX Advanced HD sound is also included to add ‘voices’ to your game. X-Fi CMSS-3D essentially emulates realistic surround sound with only a pair of headphones. You can boost game performance even further with games that take advantage of X-RAM, freeing up system memory and improving audio quality. The X-Fi Crystalizer automatically upgrades existing games with more dynamic and realistic sound.

X-Fi CMSS-3D expands your MP3s and digital movies into surround sound over multichannel speakers, stereo speakers, or even headphones. The X-Fi Crystalizer is supposed to restore the detail and vibrance to your compressed music and movies. Apparently all the highs and lows are enhanced so you’ll hear everything in crystal clarity.

The X-Fi Crystalizer certainly should make a noticeable difference when listening to your choice of music. There’s nothing quite like ability to play ‘liquid gold’ that is DTS 96KHz/24-bit, especially if you’re decked out with a decent 5.1/7.1 setup. It’ll wreck both home and hearing with equal impunity.

The Smart Volume Management function is an interesting one, I still prefered to have it turned off.

The X-Fi Prelude supports up to eight different 24-bit hardware effects, hardware synthesis capabilities, 24-bit SoundFont sampling and 3D MIDI recording. The X-Fi Prelude provides the lowest latency ASIO recording, allowing for the most precise audio recording capabilities in any class with latency as low as one millisecond with no CPU load.

Now that we’re a little more familiar with the software side of Auzentech’s X-Fi Prelude sound card, let’s get down to the nitty gritty and see how we’re going to test it…

Auzentech X-Fi Prelude Review (Page 2 of 6)

Page 2 — A Closer Look — Hardware

The Auzentech X-Fi Prelude is a rather busy printed circuit board that packs a long list of features into the same physical size as most standard X-Fi offerings from Creative. Packing the Creative CA20K1 DSP/APU (Basically, Creative’s flagship X-Fi audio processor) onboard behind a small heatsink, it somewhat resembles the X-Fi XtremeMusic that I previously owned — all the way from the heatsink to the PCB dimensions. Software support-wise, it features everything that Creative supports the X-Fi for — EAX 5.0, as well as Creative ALchemy for hardware accelerated audio in Windows Vista. That’s where the similarities end, however. At least from first glance, it becomes apparent that the Auzentech X-Fi Prelude is with the market trend and uses 100% solid state capacitors.

Flipping the Auzentech X-Fi Prelude PCI sound card on its back reveals sharp «Auzen X-Fi Prelude 7.1» towards the middle of the board, along with several other things such as a ROHS compliancy logo and, surprisingly, «Made in Korea»!

A little gripe about the board itself — the PCI connectors are placed a couple millimeters to close to the PCI bracket; this card fits a little too tightly inside my case. Other than that, my only other wish is that it had a PCIe edition — which I am sure Auzentech would have heard by now from their website poll — but other than that, it’s good to go.

As mentioned earlier, the Creative CA20K1 DSP/APU — Creative X-Fi audio processor — is packed behind a small heatsink. This Creative processor has and still is a favorite amongst audio enthusiasts and gamers alike for incredible gaming audio performance, as well as being a very powerful audio processor by itself. Support for Creative ALchemy brought back hardware acceleration to Vista by translating DirectSound requests into OpenGL audio signals for the X-Fi DSP/APU; and proprietary EAX 5.0 support is definitely another welcomed feature along with a full set of home theater technologies with Auzentech’s latest driver release.

Shown above is the Exilinx XC9536XL high performance CLPD (Complex Programmable Logic Device) on the Auzentech X-Fi Prelude.

Atmel’s AT89C2051 CMOS controller chip is used on the X-Fi Prelude. It is an 8051-based, fully static chip that operates at 24MHz. Other features include 15 I/O lines, 2 timers/counters, 6 interrupts/2 priority levels, analog comparator, LED drive outputs, UART, two-level program memory lock, 2KB flash memory, as well as 128 bytes on-chip random access memory.

Right next to it on the right is a green LED that blinks when the card is functioning correctly. I actually found that fast blinking quite annoying, especially if you have a case window.

Now back on the stuff that actually matters to the audio — we’ll first have a look at the ADC (Analog to digital converter) used on the Auzentech X-Fi Prelude. Shown in the photo above is AKM’s AK5394AVS for converting analog signals such as line-in or microphone to digital signals. This is one of the best chips in the market today as a 24-bit/192kHz ADC, just in case you need to get some of that in for Skype before it tones it down for transmission. Or of course, work… like audio production. Yes, that’s right. Work. Hehe.

The Auzentech X-Fi Prelude has two Micron 48LC32M8A2 RAM chips used as the Creative X-RAM; which was first introduced with the X-Fi Fatal1ty and Elite Pro — used for storing sounds in the sound card memory to take an off load the rest of the system — at least for supported games. There are 2x32Mb ICs for a total of 64MB memory on board.

Shown above is three of four Asahi Kasei AK4396 DACs. Each of these are responsible for two channel output; for handling a total of eight channel output on the X-Fi Prelude 7.1 sound card. With a dynamic range of 120dB and a total harmonic distortion rated at -100dB, these 24-bit/192kHz DACs generally offer excellent performance — resistance to ‘jittering’ and low out of band noise — but there are better models from AKM for an improved digital filter, although the difference may be negligible.

In addition to the single 4-pin analog adapter is a set of pins for front panel audio connectors. Finally, a dedicated sound card with out-of-the-box front panel audio connectors! I was pretty darn glad to see it.

The Auzentech X-Fi Prelude incorporates National LM4562NA and Texas Instruments OPA2134 OpAmps. The LM4562NA OpAmp is shown above in its featured swappable OpAmp socket; if you don’t like it — then swap it out. It has a very low total harmonic distortion at 0.00003%. Most users should be quite familiar with this as it’s used in quite a number of enthusiast sound cards such as the Asus Xonar D2. It’s well regarded amongst audio enthusiasts and generally very well accepted.

The Texas Instruments OpAmps has a THD+N of approximately 0.00008%; it comes with excellent sound response and is also well regarded and accepted amongst many audio enthusiasts.

The array of audio connector jacks at the back are surrounded by a gold colored bracket. Like the Asus Xonar D2, there’s certainly no lack of audio connectors — four 3.5mm jacks for standard analog out; with separate line in and microphone jacks. Two digital coaxial jacks for in/out resides at the back, with included optical adapters. The digital out has a maximum bandwidth of 25mbps.

The jack labels are engraved at the back. Once installed, it becomes useless because my computer case covers all the labels — rendering these labels completely useless because it won’t be seen — at least in my case. It would be nice if each jack was illuminated color coded like the Asus Xonar D2, or at least labeled at a more convenient location.
