Hey guys!
I've had an X-Fi Elite Pro for the past 10 years or so and am now upgrading as I can't get the card to work with the newest build of Windows (and it doesn't appear that Daniel_K will be making any more revisions on his W10 drivers). This means that I'm buying a new card!
I decided to go with the Creative ZXR as it has most of the connections that I need, however I was curious what your guys' drivers/supported audio devices looked like. Maybe it was an old way of doing things, but I've always been under the impression that you're supposed to use only 1 main sound output enabled and installed at a time (usually uninstalling/disabling on-board sound).
I just wanted to open up a little discussion and see what you guys do. I have a GTX 1070 installed that of course uses HDMI audio, as well as my on-board audio which has some unique connections such as front panel connectors that are not supported by the ZXR (why the ZXR doesn't have front panel connectors but the Z does is beyond me. Probably because of the audio control module?). I'd love to keep the 3 enabled, but I'm, not sure what the consequences could be leaving all 3 enabled/installed.
Any thoughts? Thanks for reading!
