Creative has just released its latest audio driver, namely version 1.00.22, targeted at its Sound Blaster Z, Zx, and ZxR gaming sound cards. The available files can be installed on both 32- and 64-bit versions of Microsoft’s Windows 7 and 8 operating systems.

As for the changes this version brings, I can only highlight that the package adds support for ASIO (Audio Stream Input/Output) recording, as well as multiple workarounds that promise to improve the devices’ overall performance and stability.

When it comes to installing the driver, this process is really simple. Just run the downloadable file so that it can extract the needed files for applying the driver, and follow the onscreen instructions.

Moreover, if you have already installed the previous 1.00.16 driver, the producer doesn’t specify whether to uninstall it before applying the latest version or not – so this task would be at your own choice.

Now, from the list below, choose the link that best describes your Sound Blaster audio card.
