This update should particulary be interesting for X-Fi Elite PRO users since it is the first non-beta driver for the X-Fi Elite Pro since November 15th 2005. Owners of the X-Fi XtremeMusic, Platinum and Fatal1ty cards will notice that the version number (2.09.0001) is the same as the one already released in July so no change here. This download contains an improved version of the drivers found on the Sound Blaster® X-Fi™ XtremeMusic, Platinum, Fatal1ty and Elite Pro installation CDs. It now provides full OpenAL support for gamers. For more details, read the rest of this web release note.
