 As soon as they could (judging by how stringent they had been in the announcement) all Sensaura technologies were removed from drivers.

 So.. I was wondering.. Mr. CarvedInside.. wouldn’t be possible to add it back to the drivers? I already spent 3 hours probing the net for older drivers. <br />And I’m not talking about my Xonar DX drivers, but -hopefully- the c-media ones you use to work with. Let me post some links. <br />http://web.archive.org/web/20071019230809/http://www.cmedia.com.tw/forums/viewtopic.php?t=863&postdays=0&postorder <br />http://web.archive.org/web/20071019230809/http://www.cmedia.com.tw/forums/viewtopic.php?t=863&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=60&sid#4118 <br />http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.cmediadrivers.info/* <br />ftp://www.club-3d.com/Theatron/ (This includes Club3D c-media based sound cards.. but I couldn’t find accurate sources about their use use of CMI8788 chip)
 Then, I think I ended.
