Latest SB Drivers Lowered Volume questions

After installing the latest SB drivers from sb website...I noticed my playback volumes are 30 to 40 percent lower. Anyone else noticed a volume decrease??

Also, the Microsoft Update page shows "Creative Labs Media Driver Version 5.1.2602.0" which would seem to be later then the SB website drivers. The Windows Update drivers won't install the 2062 version on my PC so I am wondering if I should uninstall the latest sb drivers...install the older ones, and then let Windows Update patch up to latest version?
 
3509.2.0.0 are the drivers I'm using for my SB Live Value card. They aren't broke, so I think I'll stick with them considering the problems I read about with the new ones.
 
You need to get Audio HQ

Download the Audio HQ. I had the same problem and for some reason it had set the volume at about 25%. But when I turned it up, no prob -- better quality sound than before in fact.
 
Thanks to all that responded.

Hey blackcat - I also noticed better sound quality from the newer drivers! Good to hear someone else confirm the improved sound.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(
