Today, Creative has announced the availability of a new driver package targeted at its Sound Blaster X-Fi HD and Digital Music Premium HD audio cards, namely version 1.02.0021a, which improves the devices’ compatibility.

When it comes to the compatible OSes, this newly-released package is developed for both 32- and 64-bit variants of Microsoft’s Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 8.1 operating systems.

Besides the sound card driver, this release also installs the Creative Audio Control Panel and adds support for Audio Stream Input/Output (ASIO) playback for all compatible platforms, except for both bit variants of Microsoft’s Windows XP OS.
