calling out for a Linux driver January 22, 2007

Well I am very fastidious on sound, I want good sound even on a PC that's why I've always bought sound cards from Creative Labs.
And I respect Creative's hard work on the new architecture for the processor on its X-Fi product line that's why I bought this product even with the awareness of that it is Linux-challenged. I thought, they've got great engineers to work out the highly modularized ring architecture on the audio processor, there is a reason to believe that they are a _tech_ company, there is a reason to believe that they care about geeks, there is a reason to believe that there is a voice for geeks in this company, there is a reason to believe the Linux driver for X-Fi line is not just a dream. So I bought this card in Sep. 2006, and installed a Windows partition in my Linux workstation just in order to be able to appreciate the hard work of Creative's engineers' for the X-Fi processor. I waited patiently till year 2007. However the page claiming X-Fi's road map for the Linux driver doesn't exist anymore on Creative's domain.
I have the feeling that all the Linux users are simply abandoned by Creative, this is getting very, very emotional. Not mentioning that the coolest geeks and serious software engineers/computer scientists tend to use Linux or BSD, some distros of Linux like Ubuntu are attracting more and more non-techie users. Google earth has a Linux version and so does Skype. WAKE UP Creative! If Creative does not want to spend money on the Linux driver any more, at least he can release some tech specs allowing the GNU guys work out an ALSA solution. I really hope Creative hear this! Enough people are begging for a Linux driver on Creative's own forum, I've watched long enough to draw a conclusion that the product managers are not listening or even don't care about their own forum. So that I am posting here to add yet another tiny voice. Hope many many tiny voices together can finally wake up Creative.
Otherwise, the advanced technology for new audio processor on the X-Fi line really delivers more superior sound than other sound cards. The difference is even noticeable on very cheap speakers: a lot cleaner, more details and more powerful dynamics. The software package for Windows is reasonably decent. Comprehensive music editing/authoring packages are provided, a joy to use.
Just what I needed January 8, 2007

I like to do a lot of home video taping. Time my wife gave me another project to convert her cass.tape into cd. with what I had in my computer which was a sound blaster card that came with it, I knew that was a hard task to do. So I chose the reseach this project some more. I look at adding a dazzel gadet, and upgrading my sound card which would be a little more than I wanted to pay. I started looking The Sound Blaster X-Fi Platinum and software that came with it. The Price I payed for it was a bargain. The setup was a snap If you know a little about hardware. I notice a big differance in the sound quailty the proformance in recording and gaming. I am looking adding a surround sound speakers anything less would be a waste of a excellent card.

Good product to edit audio in your computer. December 31, 2006

I ordered this sound card as a special request from one of my customers, who wanted to upgrade from a "Soundblaster Live Value" card. He planned to use this card to edit music and transfer music from analog sources to digital formats, for instance, to produce CD's, MP3 and so on.
The card come with several useful accesories, including a full featured remote control, and a front panel which can be mounted inside a 5 1/4 bay. The front panel allows you to accede to the inputs of the sound card without having to go to the back of the computer.
The installation was a breeze, and the bundled software is very complete.
