Cheap hack hardware with unnecessary bloated gimmicks and horrid drivers.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I can verify that thing about the KXdrivers. Previously, my soundcard drivers were the most problematic piece of software in my computer, countless hours were spent messing with them, reinstalling them, etc. They also offered only VERY limited customization, I couldn't even properly set sound levels for all speakers independently, only linked through some shitty x/y bar which "simulated" a user in a room.

The kx drivers, although they have their share of bugs, are infinitely more useful. They offer over the top customization options (to tell the truth - most of the are VERY BASIC OPTIONS, its just that Creative had the liberty of leaving them off from their own drivers), and overall sound quality is much better too. Not things such as sound clarity though, just better volume levels to properly get my 5.1 set running.

Most amazing jew boots

EAX blows but some games rely way too heavily on it to work in 5.1. I can't get Halo to work in 5.1 without missing music and half the sound effects on my kx drivers due to its shoddy eax support.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
