You won't, Creative doesn't really give a flying **** about its own support page.

LOL, I was just trying to find a link to the recent firmware update for the X7 and couldn't find it.

Where would they hide it, if not on the support page?

There's a huge disconnect between their marketing and engineering departments. It's really sad.

That's not a problem specific to Creative. Back when I worked at a corporation, our internal communication was so bad that once I found out about a marketing campaing I was supposed to do some tests/customer support for from the customers said campaign was targeted at and not from my coworkers. I imagine Creative is governed by the same PnR-style absurds.

Oh I'm really wanting an x7 again...

Fair enough.

But wasn't there a firmware update for the X7 last month? I can't find it on their site.

Thanks!

Missing casing doesn't sound good...I'm interested to see a pic.

There are 4 holes for clips, it must be available as a part somehow.  No damage to unit other than that.
 

 
 

How much was the warehouse price?

£174.74 and £165.67

My experience has been the opposite. Friends on ps4 tell me that I'm much clearer now than I was with my mixamp.

Same here.  No issues with mic.

Last firmware update was on Feb. 29 & March 1 for both Windows and Mac.  It's possible they were doing site maintenance.  You can try my link below.

On another note, did anyone decide to go ahead and try the SS3602?  Thoughts on it or the 3601.  I am trying to warm my HD700 & X7 up a little.

It's not a feature implemented through firmware update, as far as I see from posted comments (haven't tried it yet myself). There was a new update to the app (iPhone/iPad app, hopefully the Android and PC/Mac apps too).

 

[Yethal]

No Android update as of yet.

Firmware update is required to take advantage of the line out processing. Says so in the AppStore notes.

The firmware needed is the one released earlier this year. I had already updated the firmware, so the iOS controller simply "unlocked" the ability to toggle line out processing.

So, we've been sitting on this for three months now? Also, no Android or PC app.

 

[Sam21]

something tells me a new driver with new UI is coming...

 

[Mentis]

so does that mean headphone SBX is now supported through line out/optical out?

 

[conquerator2]

Apparently. For now "exclusive" to the Apples...

Basically, yes.
