NOTE: I don't know where to put this, but I wanted to share the driver 2.17.0008C for Windows 10/11. Mainly for those who play old games. If this thread does not go here, delete or move.

For a few months now, the user Antes533 (TECHPOWERUP FORUMS) has been working on modifying the driver v2.17.0008C to make it compatible with the latest versions of Windows; adding bug fixes, restoring functionality, updating the entire software package and improving overall stability. These drivers offer excellent audio quality without distortions, perfect compatibility with OpenAL (no more BSOD, loss of audio or noise).

Improvements:
- The APO (responsible for rendering the sound) has been replaced with one of the highest quality; Scene depth, stereo and FX effects have been improved.
- The stability of the driver in general has been improved.
- Compatibility with the latest versions of Windows.
- 88.2kHz and 176kHz modes restored.
- Harmonic distortion has been improved.
- Being based on the official v2.17 drivers, these do not overload the DSP signal, so the EAX effects are heard correctly without exaggerated reverberation.
- Other undocumented changes.

Disadvantages:
- To use these drivers you must disable driver updates from Windows Update, otherwise it will be automatically replaced by a newer one.
- These drivers are not signed (not WHQL) so they must be installed by running the "Disable the mandatory use of signed drivers" mode.
- In order for the software configuration to be saved, once configured to your liking, the PC must enter sleep mode. This is done only once and is a problem inherited from the official version.

The driver is compatible with the following cards:
Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty® Champion Series
Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Professional Series
Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Professional Audio
Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium
Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium OEM

- To use these drivers you must disable driver updates from Windows Update, otherwise it will be automatically replaced by a newer one.

Or you could just use O&O ShutUp10++ to disable automatic driver updates through Windows Update.
