At least Audio Console or Console Launcher must be installed. 2) Close any running Creative applications or restart Windows in Safe Mode. Run DDLUnlocker.exe and follow the instructions. 3) Download the latest Auzen X-Fi Prelude driver from: http://www.auzentech.com/site/download/updates.php Unpack with full paths. Open AudioSetup and copy CmnSupt.cab, CTCabEx.dll and engine32.cab to AudioDDL. 4) Install the Dolby Digital Live Pack Open AudioDDL and run Setup.exe. Save the contents in this folder for future installaions. 5) Restart Windows and run Audio Console or Console Launcher.

This mod works with Sound Blaster X-Fi Platinum Fatal1ty Champion Series card?
Is there other more simple procedure?
Thanks!

You don't need this mod for Titanium X-Fi cards, only for X-Fi cards that have DDL disabled by default.

To clarify, Creative sells this software add-on to drivers for their X-Fi cards for ~$5US that enables encoding to DDL on cards that did not originally support it. The rationale is that the price of these cards did not take into account the licencing fees they must pay to Dolby.
