Would the V1.04.01 be compatible with Maximus IV? This makes me suspect that both boards use the same software, only that at the time of adding the initial drivers to the V board page, they conveniently placed the updated R11, but did not update the download for the previous IV board. For the IV board the download is absent, for the V board it is "Sound Blaster X-Fi MB 2 Utility V1.04.01 for Windows 7/8 32bit & 64bit": Where it changes is when switching to the Win8 tabs. Ironically, if you look under the utilities tab for Win7 on both boards, you'll see "Sound Blaster X-Fi MB 2 Utility V1.0(R11), indicating that both boards use the same audio software.ĭifferent upload dates, different boards, same program The X-Fi 2 Utility greatly aids the on-board audio which is labeled to already support it. Please provide more Windows 8 support for the IV GENE-Z. net 3.5 install and when I tried its audio features, there were no enhancements audible. I tried using the Windows 7 version on an 8 install and the utility did not function properly. I searched for the drivers of the Maximus V GENE -a relatively similar motherboard- and found that it is showing an updated V1.04.01 of the utility on the Windows 8 section. The utility version present for the IV downloads is version V1.0 (R11) The utility is absent from the Windows 8 driver download. The Maximus IV Gene motherboard has support for the Sound Blaster X-Fi 2 Utility on the Windows 7 driver downloads.
