Does anyone know how to trick Creative's official X-Fi driver into driving an Auzentech X-Fi card? Process Explorer shows that 4-8% of my CPU is being used to handle hardware interrupts. According to the fine gerbils over at the Tech Report, either the driver or the card's firmware is to blame for causing hardware interrupts. I've decided to blame the driver first. I've already asked the folks at Auzentech about this, but they didn't seem too eager to help me install an official Creative driver on their sound card. Can it be done? Murky bucket!

Since you ask, I'll say not likely. It might be only possible if you can get linux driver sources and try to compile them for windows. It is a very complex issue. The only other way might be to find the spot or spots in the driver that point to the hardware range and then change it to your hardware. Many times they just don't point it out. You need a binary editor and how they code is readable. "Best Practices", Event viewer, host file, perfmon, antivirus, anti-spyware, Live CD's, backups, are in my top 10
