Thanks, I've been checking almost daily but I missed it today!

Quick first impressions are good, 192k deffo opens up the top end a bit and it seems a bit more spacious to me!

It feels good when you get something extra for free :p

hey... thanks for your notification, oscars! downloaded it instantly: zero problems with installation. true system load (don't trust the win-taskmanager for his values!) for upsampling to 192kHz are reasonable 5-6%. to my ears the e-mu sounds now a little sharper, more speed and dynamics, a little more highs... the little bit too much bass stayed...

No success. I had to use a system restore to get things working again, and delete a ton of registries to force the lovely DSP to reinstall a prior version. All in all, quite a waste of 1.5 hours.

Audigy2 users, install this patch at your own risk.

Thanks for the heads up, as I've got an Audigy 2 installed as well. 192 kHz support would be nice, but not if it's going to wreck something. I think I'll let other 0404/A2 owners attempt this before I update to the new drivers...

Can anyone get this working with the A2? I'm about to purchase an 0404 and also plan to keep my A2 ZS running with it. Thanks

It works fine with driver versions 1.60 and below. It's just the new ones that are giving me problems.

DLing it now. i dunno if i own any 192 stuff - i think everything on my itunes is 44 or 48. am i better off just keeping patchmix set for 44 or 48 and now setting it for 192?

edit well i cant get 192 (or 96 for that matter) to work. ah well! no sound! well i guess that makes sense since all my stuff is in 48 or 44 anyhow. it's nice to know it's there tho.
