Creative has released two new firmware packages targeted at its Sound BlasterAxx SBX 10 and SBX 20 wireless speaker units, namely version 131031 and 131029, respectively, that should improve the devices’ overall performance and audio quality.

These latest updates consists of two download records for each compatible device, and, if applied, the upgrade will fix various USB and BLuetooth issues, as well as enhance the audio performance when the speaker is connected to an iOS 6 device via Bluetooth.

As for installing the packages, you should know that the producer has outed an executable package that can be installed on systems running under Microsoft’s Windows Vista, 7, 8, and 8.1 operating systems, both 32- and 64-bit architectures, and the other one targeted at the Mac OS 10.5 platforms and above.

Therefore, make sure you get the proper package for your speaker and computer OS, connect the SBX to your system, and close all programs and processes that might interfere with the update (better safe than sorry).

Now run the newly downloaded firmware, follow the on-screen instructions for a complete installation, and after the upgrade has successfully finished, make sure you disconnect and connect back the speaker so that the changes can take effect.

Bear in mind that while the installation is in progress, you must not disconnect the SBX or restart your computer; simply wait for the upgrade to finish (the whole process should take about 30 minutes to complete).

That being said, if you consider updating your speaker’s firmware version, from the links below, follow the one that best describes both your device and system characteristics, take the new version, apply it, and stay “updated one minute ago.”
