Open Letter to X-Fi Bravura Owners

Downloadable Tool or RMA Available to Correct Card Detection Problems with Recent X-Fi Bravura Sound Cards

Dear Auzentech Customers,

Auzentech has received reports that the recent shipment of the X-Fi Bravura 7.1 sound card had recognition and/or detection problems with some motherboards. Auzentech regrets this lapse in quality and is happy to help resolve the issue.

Auzentech's engineers have investigated  and narrowed the cause to a component that was updated in the recent X-Fi Bravura shipment. Although the components are supposed to be functionally identical, swapping out the newer component with the previous one corrects the situation. The engineers have also created a downloadable tool that will allow the majority of affected users to correct the situation themselves.

If you are having problems with detection of your X-Fi Bravura 7.1 sound card, please follow steps listed below.

  1. Find the Hardware ID of your X-Fi Bravura
    Open the device manager of Windows and check the Hardware ID of your X-Fi Bravura. You can find it as "High Definition Audio Device" or "Auzen X-Fi Bravura 7.1" within Sound, video and game controllers.

  2. For Hardware ID SUBSYS_11020010:
    If the Hardware ID of your X-Fi Bravura shows "SUBSYS_11020010," you can use an easy to use tool for fixing the problem.

    The tool is a bootable image file. Please download it with its detailed guide at the link below:

    http://www.auzentech.com/filebox.php?file=bravurafw.zip

  3. For Other Hardware IDs:
    If the Hardware ID of your X-Fi Bravura shows a different ID (for example, "SUBSYS_54310010"), the bootable image file listed in step 2 will not work. Instead, contact Auzentech at bravura (at) auzentech.com with the following information. Auzentech will handle the return and replacement in a timely matter.
  • Date of purchase
  • Country of purchase
  • Serial No.

All of us at Auzentech would again like to apologize for the inconvenience caused. Note that only a few Bravura are affected in Canada, France and Germany.

Sincerely,

Stephane Bae
President, Auzentech Inc.

Auzentech to Increase Support Staff

Auzentech Announces Support Staff Recruitment, Training

San Jose, CA: Auzentech, Inc (www.auzentech.com) announced today that it is in the process of hiring and training additional support staff due to increased volume of support requests in 2009. The additional staff are expected to come online in January.

For product support, Auzentech customers place support tickets at the Auzen Support Desk. "The demands on our Support Team have more than doubled this year," said Auzentech's Online Marketing Manager Phillip Honstein. "As a result, the staff has fallen behind to a degree that all of us at Auzentech find unacceptable."

Honstein explained that the introduction of four sound cards in 2009; the decision to support state-of-the-art, secure audio path technologies that allow lossless audio playback; and the release of a new Microsoft operating system had all contributed to the increase in support requests.

Auzentech expects the new staff to have completed training and begin supporting customers in January.

Auzentech also provides an online service to encourage communication among Auzentech customers, the Auzen Community. However, Honstein was quick to point out that the Auzen Community is a place for users to speak to each other, whereas the Auzen Support Desk is a place to talk directly to Auzentech support.

The four Auzentech Sound Cards introduced in 2009 are the X-Studio, X-Raider, X-Fi Forte, and X-Fi HomeTheater HD.

Auzentech Solves Static Issue on Older-Model Denon AV Receivers; Offers Firmware Updates

Auzen X-Fi HomeTheater HD

Dear Auzentech Customers:

Auzentech (www.auzentech.com) is pleased to announced that it has found a solution to problems of audio static when the Auzen X-Fi HomeTheater HD is connected to older-model Denon AV Receivers. A firmware update to the X-Fi HomeTheater HD Sound Card has been created to correct the problem.

Background

As first reported in a September 4 Open Letter from Auzentech, Denon AV Receivers manufactured in early 2008 or before may produce static during playback of high definition bitstream audio with the Auzen X-Fi HomeTheater HD sound card. Although Denon did not respond to Auzentech's attempts to communicate  about the problem, we located and purchased some earlier Denon receivers for analysis, and were successful in diagnosing the trouble.

Problem

Auzentech engineers found that earlier Denon receivers read HDMI audio sources differently than do newer models, or other receivers on the market. We do not know why the older units were designed to perform differently. However, you should not experience this problem if you own a more recently manufactured Denon receiver or a different brand of receiver.

Solution

To adapt the Auzen X-Fi HomeTheater HD to the unique HDMI implementation on Denon's older receivers, Auzentech will apply an X-Fi HomeTheater HD firmware update for anyone affected by the problem. The update will be performed by Auzentech or an authorized Auzentech dealer or technician. If you are an owner of the Auzen X-Fi HomeTheater HD and an older model receiver exhibiting audio static during high definition bitstream audio, please email Auzentech at the address listed below. We will provide guidance on how to update your product.



Terms

This firmware update offer includes shipping to and from Auzentech or its representatives. After December 31, 2009, the firmware update will still be available but will be governed by the terms of the warranty, which do not include free shipping. Auzen X-Fi HomeTheater HD sound cards shipped directly to customers from the Auzentech online store after October 19, 2009 will already have the firmware update applied. Models purchased in retail stores may have the original firmware, but are eligible for the update.

Updates

Additional updates on this issue will be released as Open Letters. To stay informed, please visit the pages listed below.

To all of Auzentech's customers who placed support tickets related to this issue: Thank you for helping us to diagnose and find a solution for the problem.

Sincerely,
The Auzentech Team

Auzentech Reproduces Static Issue on Older-Model Denon AV Receivers

Dear Auzentech Customers:

Auzentech has received older model Denon receivers with the Auzen X-Fi HomeTheater HD sound card, and are using them to isolate the problem mentioned in our earlier Open Letter of September 4.

Playback on these Denon AV Receivers manufactured in early 2008 or before produce static during playback of high-definition bitstream audio via the Auzen X-Fi HomeTheater HD sound card, just as reported by our customers.

Support Tickets suggest that you will not experience this problem if you own a more recently manufactured Denon receiver or a different brand of receiver. If you own a different AV Receiver, you may be interested in our list of AV Receivers on which we conduct most of our internal testing (below). The list provides a good sample of current AV Receiver technology:

ONKYO TX-SR607, ONKYO TX-SR507, ONKYO Professional PR-SC885P, Integra DTR-5.8, Integra DTR-9.8, DENON AVR-3310CI (manufactured after 2007), DENON AVR-2310CI (manufactured after 2007), YAMAHA RX-V863, YAMAHA RX-V765, YAMAHA RX-V3900, Marantz SR6003

Update Regarding Older-Model Denon AV Receivers

Dear Auzentech Customers:

Auzentech has located and placed orders for older model Denon receivers for testing with the Auzen X-Fi HomeTheater HD sound card. These receivers will arrive this week (September 17 or 18), and will be used to isolate the problem mentioned in our earlier Open Letter of September 4.

According to support tickets placed by our customers, Denon AV Receivers manufactured in early 2008 or before may produce static during playback of high-definition bitstream audio via the Auzen X-Fi HomeTheater HD sound card.

Tickets suggest that the problem is be confined to AV receivers manufactured by Denon in early 2008 or before, and that you will not experience this problem if you own a more recently manufactured Denon receiver or a different brand of receiver. Our newer-model Denon receivers which we use for testing do not exhibit these problems.

It is not Auzentech's position that the receiver is at fault. Instead, we expect that there is a compatiblity issue that has resulted from changing specifications.  Auzentech is still attempting to open a line of communication with Denon regarding the problem.

If you have an older model Denon AV Receiver and the Auzen X-Fi HomeTheater HD and are experiencing this problem, the Auzentech staff regrets the inconvenience. We are working toward a solution as quickly as possible, and will post more Open Letters to keep you informed.

If you own a different AV Receiver, you may be interested in our list of AV Receivers on which we conduct most of our internal testing (below). The list provides a good sample of current AV Receiver technology:

Dear Auzentech Customers:

Support tickets placed by our customers indicate that Denon AV Receivers manufactured before 2008 in early 2008 or earlier may produce static during playback of high-definition bitstream audio via the Auzen X-Fi HomeTheater HD sound card.

Based on these support tickets, you will not experience this problem if you own a newer Denon receiver or a different brand of receiver.Our newer-model Denon receivers which we use for testing do not exhibit these problems, for example.

Although the problem seems to be confined to AV receivers manufactured by Denon in early 2008 or earlier, we are not suggesting that the receiver is at fault. Instead, we expect that there is a compatiblity issue that has resulted from changing specifications.

If you have an older model Denon AV Receiver and are experiencing this problem, all of us at Auzentech sincerely regret the inconvenience. We intend to have a solution as quickly as possible, and will post more Open Letters to keep you informed.

We are taking the following steps to address the issue:

1. Auzentech is opening a line of communication with Denon regarding the issue.
2. Auzentech is attempting to acquire an older-model Denon receiver for testing.

If you own a different AV Receiver, you may be interested in the list of the AV Receivers on which we conduct most of our internal testing (below). The list provides a good sample of current AV Receiver technology:

Partial List of Receivers Tested by Auzentech with the Auzen X-Fi HomeTheater HD:

Limited Driver Rollback

An Open Letter for X-Plosion and X-Mystique Owners Using Windows XP or Vista

X-Plosion Cinema Dear Auzentech Customers:

Yesterday we updated drivers for the X-Plosion 7.1 Cinema and X-Mystique 7.1 Gold sound cards. Since then, a few of customers have discovered a new bug in the XP and Vista drivers which our testing had not revealed. Therefore, we have decided to withdraw the XP and Vista drivers pending further investigation. We apologize for the inconvenience.

If you are a Windows® Vista or XP user who installed the driver, we suggest that you uninstall it and replace it with the previous version. We are communicating with the chipset manufacturer regarding the problem and expect to have it addressed soon.

As always, find the latest driver for your Auzentech soundcard by visiting the driver download page and click the link for your sound card.

Sincerely,
The Auzentech Team

X-Fi HomeTheater HD Schedule Update

Auzentech's Native-PCI Express™ HDMI Sound Card Rescheduled for Q2 2009

Auzen X-Fi Home Theater 7.1 San Jose, CA–April 16, 2009: Auzentech, Inc.(www.auzentech.com) has revised the release date of the Auzen X-Fi™ HomeTheater HD sound card to the first half of 2009. As with an earlier delay announced in January, the additional time is for hardware compatibility testing to ensure that the product is stable across the full spectrum of expected hardware combinations.

"We are aware that many customers, distributors, and dealers are highly anticipating the X-Fi™ HomeTheater HD sound card and are understandably becoming impatient," said Stephane Bae, president of Auzentech, Inc.

He mentioned forums in which some participants have questioned whether the soundcard will ever be released:

"We have four different companies working in five different locations across the globe collaborating on the Auzen X-Fi™ HomeTheater HD. Some of the best minds in the industry are involved," Bae said. "It's coming."

The Auzen X-Fi™ HomeTheater HD is the result of cooperation between several companies that include Auzentech, Creative Labs, Cyberlink, and Silicon Image. Today's schedule change is an extension of the final round of testing of the software and hardware as complete a package.

About X-Fi™ HomeTheater HD
Enjoy Blu-ray movies in their full glory. The Auzen X-Fi™ HomeTheater HD sound card is a native-PCI Express™ sound card that provides non-downsampled audio during 24p video playback—the same video framerate seen in theaters. It can play Blu-ray Audio with no downsampling, and play high bit-rate audio such as Dolby® TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio bitstream without altering the original sound.

About PCI Express™
PCI Express™ (PCIe) is a serial bus standard that provides a higher throughput than the older, parallel PCI bus standard. Unlike competing PCI Express™ sound cards built with PCI processors adapted for the PCIe slot, the X-Fi™ HomeTheater HD is built around Creative Labs' PCI Express™ processor. As a native-PCI Express™ sound card, the X-Fi™ HomeTheater HD can take full advantage of the higher-throughput of the PCIe bus.

The Auzen X-Fi™ HomeTheater HD soundcard can play Blu-ray Audio with no downsampling, and play high bit-rate audio such as Dolby® TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio bitstream without altering the original sound.

This letter is to inform our customers that we have decided not to develop a Linux driver for the X-Fi Prelude. This breaks from our earlier intention to release Linux drivers for the sound card..

After extensive negotiations with our partners, we found that the technologies necessary for the X-Fi Prelude to be differentiated in the marketplace are not available for the Linux platform. Without these audio technologies, the benefits of the X-Fi Prelude's superior hardware would be limited.

For those users who, like us, believe in the Linux platform, please accept our apologies.

Sincerely,

The Auzentech Team,
Auzentech, Inc.

AUZENTECH Revises HDMI Product Line

Auzen X-Tension HDMI 1.3 Board Superseded by Auzen X-Fi HomeTheater HD

San Jose, CA - September 17, 2008: Auzentech, Inc.(www.auzentech.com) announces today that the Auzen X-Tension HDMI 1.3 board demonstrated at CES 2008 will not come to market. Instead, Auzentech will focus its HDMI efforts on the forthcoming HDMI 1.3-native PCI Express card, the Auzen X-Fi HomeTheater HD.

According to Stephane Bae, President of Auzentech, the Auzen X-Tension HDMI 1.3 board had been developed as an extension board for use with selected previous and present Auzentech soundcards. It was developed without the participation of the major technology owners, and therefore would have had limited capabilities that were acceptable based on research performed at that time.

The Auzen X-Fi HomeTheater HD, on the other hand, has broad support for audio technologies in the marketplace because it was developed in partnership with Creative, Cyberlink and Silicon Image. The Auzen X-Fi HomeTheater HD outputs a bitstream of high-definition, multichannel audio from Blu-ray Discs with no downsampling, to take full advantage of lossless digital audio formats such as Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio.

"We developed the Auzen X-Tension HDMI 1.3 board before entering into agreements with Creative, Cyberlink and Silicon Image. These agreements have made the impossible, possible -- by uniting the technologies necessary to fully support HDMI 1.3 in compliance with HDCP and AACS," said Stephane Bae.

Although the Auzen X-Tension HDMI 1.3 board will not be manufactured, Stephane Bae describes it as "an important step in the development of the Auzen X-Fi HomeTheater HD."

The Auzen X-Fi HomeTheater HD is scheduled for release in Oct. 2008. An upgrade and pre-order promotion is planned shortly before the release date.

As we are in the midst of investigating four main issues with the X-Fi Prelude driver, below is a brief summary of the current status for now.

  • DDL sound stop issue
    We can reproduce this issue. The Technical Team is in the process of identifying the cause.
  • Popping/crackling sound when using DDL
    This is a known issue. The Technical Team is working on the fix.
  • MIC sound problem (distortion and stopping)

X-Fi Prelude Driver Announcements

An Open Letter to Auzentech Customers

Dear Valued Auzentech Customers:

We wanted to inform you of forthcoming updates to the X-Fi Prelude driver. These updates concern DTS Interactive and Dolby Digital Live. Please note that they do not affect other Auzentech sound cards, nor do they apply to sound cards from other manufacturers.

DTS® Interactive

Auzen X-Fi DTS Driver Screenshots

We are pleased to announce for July 1 the Beta release of the X-Fi Prelude Beta 1 driver which provides DTS® Interactive on WIndows Vista. This is a stable driver consistent with the one we recently advance-released to a select group of Beta Testers for their feedback. See the driver screenshot (right).

With the wide range of hardware and software combinations , we have released the DTS driver in the hope that users will report bugs to Auzentech via the Auzentech Support desk.

Dolby® Digital Live (DDL)

Below is a list of DDL-driver bug reports that we are working on.

  • DDL sound stops
  • DDL sound "pops or crackles"
  • Mic sound problem (MSN, SKype, TeamSpeak during gamepley, Ventrilo)

The projected release date for these updates is July 9, with the understanding that bug fixes by their very nature can require additional development time.

We hope these announcements are helpful. As always, thank you for supporting our efforts to create a market for exceptional PC-Audio.

Sincerely,
The Auzentech Team

Registration System Explained

An Open Letter to Auzentech Customers

Dear Auzentech Customers:

"We are working to simplify the registration process or to find another solution to the problem. Nevertheless, if you are an Auzentech customer, please accept my apology for the inconvenience."
- Stephane Bae

Having received a number of complaints regarding the new registration process for X-Fi Prelude 7.1 drivers, I wanted to express my regret for any inconvenience caused to our customers.

Many emails asked why we require registrations for this one soundcard, since we have never done so before. To our surprise, a gentleman named Daniel Kawakami released a Dolby Digital Live Unlocker for Creative SB X-Fi series 1.0.0.0. He provided a link to download the Auzentech driver from our website and an unlocker to enable Dolby Digital Live on other X-Fi soundcards.

Daniel's actions, although done without malicious intent, have consequences.

  • Our servers were strained due to a sudden download increase from non-Auzentech customers, affecting our customers negatively.

  • Our licensing agreement with Dolby was threatened, because it only grants you, our customers who have paid for the license, the right to use Dolby Digital Live.

Daniel's actions also did not take into consideration the effort required to make Dolby Digital Live available. We work hard to provide drivers such as Dolby Digital Live and the soon-to-be-released DTS Interactive to our customers. These things don't just happen; we work long hours, and we can only continue to do so with the support of the audiophile community.

We are working to simplify the registration process or to find another solution to the problem. Nevertheless, if you are an Auzentech customer, please accept my apology for the inconvenience.

Sincerely,

Stephane Bae, President

How the X-Meridian Became a Limited Edition Soundcard

An Open Letter to Auzentech Customers

Dear Auzentech Customers:

"One week after product launch, we received notice from C-Media that they had granted exclusive rights for the CMI-8788 chipset to a competitor..."

From time to time, we receive inquiries as to why we stopped production of the Auzen X-Meridian 7.1 sound card soon after its launch. That sound card was custom-designed to make the most of the CMI-8788 chip from C-Media. Our next sound card, the Auzen X-Fi Prelude, has been custom-designed around the Creative X-Fi chipset. 

Moving beyond the X-Meridian 7.1 so quickly was a difficult decision. One week after product launch, we received notice from C-Media that they had granted exclusive rights for the CMI-8788 chipset to a competitor, ASUS, and that we must purchase any chip inventory by a certain date. Sound cards from other companies that use the CMI-8788 are built with chip inventory purchased before the deadline.

It had never occurred to us to squeeze our competitors out of the market for a chip, and we still find it troubling – especially in light of the time we spent developing a product around the CMI-8788 chip. Other companies that only built the "reference board" may not have suffered significantly, but Auzentech lost development time, effort and money – the very things that even now make the X-Meridian 7.1 the best CMI-8788 soundcard to have reached the market.

The only reason we moved beyond the X-Meridian 7.1 so quickly after product launch is because we no longer had reliable access to the chipset. We have attempted to acquire additional stock from C-Media, but those requests have been rejected. If you have an interest in more X-Meridians being manufactured, you might consider lobbying C-Media to supply the chipset to Auzentech.

Sincerely,

Stephane Bae, President
