Hey guys!
Reinstalled Windows 10 this week and had lots of problems getting my X-Fi Elite Pro working properly again. I always use Daniel_K's drivers but for some reason they weren't doing the trick. I resorted to looking for a ZXR as it's really what I'm looking for in a card (a 5.1 surround card with solid RCA inputs for recording) and began checking for deals. While looking I found a solution to my problem with my Elite Pro, which was to first install Creatives official Windows 10 driver and then install Daniel_K's drivers over it rather than Daniel_K's or Creatives by themselves. However after finding that out I actually managed to find a new ZXR for $179.99, which is a fairly competitive price. Now I'm wondering if I should just upgrade.
Anybody with any experience switching from X-Fi to the newer Z series? I'd be curious to hear if you guys think the switch is worth it, or to hold out and keep the $180. Thanks for reading!
