Daniel_K's modded drivers are all you need for a creative card for Windows 10.

Was kind of hoping the PURE would mean a more barebones edition without LEDS (also cheaper).
EDIT: lols, Creative's general manager actually said this:
"... And that’s not all, the AE-5 also takes the sensory experience beyond sound with a 16.8 million color light show.”
Holy hell, what's next? Some LSD strips?

Daniel_K's modded drivers are only X-Fi series cards
The problem with Windows 10 and fall update are with the creative apps
No I think that was going to be the Sound BlasterX AE-3 but so far nothing

Been using a soundblaster ZXR for the last couple of years now with Windows 10, no problems here.

Same here (Zx), no problems with win 10.
SHS
Have you install the Windows 10 1709 fall creators update ?
From what I have read on creative lab forum it a diff story

Me 3, no real issues with my xfi Titanium HD @win10 rs2 or now rs3..

I hate the my motherboard sound and miss my old card I sold. I was hopping in getting a new model but no way I'm blowing more than 50/60€ on a sound card.
I'll keep waiting for a sound card and not a Christmas tree.

Since I got this motherboard it's random whether or not my sound card is detected properly. Creative's (lack of) driver support has ensured the next time I get an external DAC/amp combo.

There are basically no issues with Z series in Windows 10 (I haven't had any). If something is broken then it's probably user error i.e. outdated drivers.

Rocking a sound blaster Recon3D here, on windows 10. No issues at all with the drivers or software. Latest version of windows 10 as well.

I highly doubt that as I have Sound Blaster Z and soon I Install the CL Apps I no longer have access to windows start menu or dose really off wall things it was that way thru the last few beta builder even in final ver so I give up on long ago but I guest could try install the apps and see if this got address but my guest that still broken.

There are problems with the ZxR in Windows 10, based on the motherboard oddly enough. Half the time it detects as a different card, sometimes it's not detected at all.

Asus Xonar user here,might give the Hero's audio chip a wee go sometime:)

wow seem fantastic! hmm but unfortunately I'm a poor man so I haven't $$$ to buy one 🙁;)
SHS
Hero's audio chip ? I never heard of that one or did you mean the Asus ROG Maximus Hero Line Motherboard which has a ESS ES9023P ?

I had awful problems when M$ changed their audio stack in Win 10 Beta for my X-Fi Gamer Fata1ity Pro.
Creative Labs came out with a new driver that simply did not work, nor the next one. I ended up using Daniel_K's modded drivers which worked flawlessly.
Hate to think I'd have to be relying on some possibility of a 3rd party unpaid individual's hard work to keep my expensive audio card working in the future !
I have been a SB user since the early SB 16 days and am Barely considering buying one more from them, but I am now looking at other vendors products...

You do know that he doesn't make driver he only modified the inf and the installer not the codes them self just so you know.
