Driver Package V2.1 contains the following feature enhancements and fixes:
Windows Vista OS - Fixes a "memory leak" bug in PatchMix in which PatchMix would continue to use, and fail to release system RAM
Fixes a typo in the Insert Send list when using sample rates of 88.2 kHz and higher
Fixes a rare bug on some computer systems where distortion occurs when using WDM at sample rates of 88.2 kHz and above
Windows Driver Signature:
When you install the Digital Audio System drivers, you will see a dialog box informing you either that the driver has not been certified by Windows Hardware Quality Labs (WHQL), or that the driver is signed by Creative Labs, Inc, and you will be asked if you would like to continue with the installation.
The Digital Audio System audio drivers are not certified by WHQL because the product does not support some of the features that the Microsoft Windows Logo Program requires, most notably Universal Audio Architecture (UAA) and Digital Rights Management (DRM).
Despite this, the Digital Audio System audio drivers have been rigorously tested using the same test procedures that a WHQL qualified driver requires, and it passes in all of the other important categories, including those that measure the relative stability of the driver. So, it is perfectly safe to install these drivers on your computer.
