Creative Recon3d Drivers

[Versie Rons]

Probably will not work because It doesn't use a creative chipset that is resembles anything that would run on XP like X-FI for example. Remember that the audio subsystem on widows Vista/7/8/10 is different than 2k/xp/2003/2003x64. Microsoft removed the Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) for DirectSound and DirectSound3D in Vista+

That is the Driver version I opened in Orca. There isn't XP drivers for that chip, I tried to extract the MSI and I wasn't good enough. And I didnt feel like spending forever trying to figure out how to crack the driver file open because I don't have the card so it would refuse to instal the driver. I could figure it out and get the raw driver for vista 3d bit or whatever but like I said I don't think it would ever work since the Audio subsystem is so different I doubt i would ever work. So i' m no gonna waste time with it,. Best thing to do is just disable it in BIOS/hardware and instal a Card that will work on XP like Audigy or Xfi.

I also tried to PCI-E to PCI adapter and Creative Audigy ZS - because of Windows 98 + DOS compatiblity (because in general Win98 are running on X99 board), but this card is not working my adapter (Asmedia chipset), other cards (NICs) are working.
So i will probably use for SB Xfi PCI-E card for XP+

I don't think 98 can do HD audio bus correct me if I'm wrong. The only Realtek chips that work on 98 are AC97 based. TBH I'd think the most compatible sound card is something like a PCI SB live. Too bad tho that you need PCI slots to use that.

HD driver would be good for XP, not for Windows 98.. for Win98 you need AC97 realtek codec / driver. Only shame any HD audio card, arent backward compatible with AC97, it would make a sense, same as SB16 compatibility..
