Just discovered this;

Creamware should really look into this.

It was a mistake, i transposed my tabs while writing too many replies. It was meant to be in the tech forum.

Wsippel;

Someone should mention to Creamware that FreeBSD allows closed source binary only drivers.

Maybe they'd port over if they knew that.

I know they are hesitent with Linux because of their desire of copyright protection and trade secrecry.

Plus ALSA is garbage...

Wsippel:

How are the linux drivers?

I think you should just goto FreeBSD.

FreeBSD allows for closed source binary drivers. I think Creamware would feel a little more comfortable with FreeBSD. Much more then with linux and their source only drivers. ...unless Creamware has the time and money to ...

Phyx,

I guess the gentlemen here expected you to read the existing threads.

phyx, read awhyle along the different threads about 4.5

I have... to no satisfaction.

I grabed a copy of the v4.5 release.

The driver is the same version (1.50.12.0) as release v4.0

Creamware has some explaining to do!

A version jump from v4.0 to v4.5 is a MAJOR change, so why havn't they changed anything?

Creamware needs to set up a CVS repository, I don't expect them to release ...

I have no problems with my dual xeon system. 2 physical processors, 2 logical processors, on SCOPE v4.0

The only problem I have ever had with Creamware is if SFP is running even in the task tray, it trashes my burnt dvd or cds.

It messes with ASPI, I think.

I don't want opinions, or gratuitous whining.

Just the tech facts.

Where is the Changelog?

What about somehow sending the surround mixer outs to the ADAT module and that into the reciever? I know it's two different protocols and it wont work as is... but is there a way?

Some how make the Digital module multichannel?

Right?

Yeah thats a part of it too, but I always make a cd/dvd and listen to it at friends houses for that..

The question is why do you hate using the Luna? DolbyD and DTS are both heavily compressed, so even the extra D/A A/D is probably going to sound better than the encoding.

Cool idea, but unfortunately the encoding algorithms are all patented and require non-trivial licensing fees... :sad:

You could always assemble 3 cards and use the 3 x S/PDIF outs! :wink:

I would like to take the outs from the surround mixer and encode them to the optical outs right to my reciever.

I feel this is an essential module, I hate using my LunaII breakout box to send surround to my reciever.
