I've gotten X-FI MB5 to work with my old Intel motherboard with ALC861 audio using this ID: Still I want to know the hardware device IDs for your Realtek HD Audio devices: then restart the computer and load x-fi mb5. When given the choices to restart right now or restart later after installing x-fi mb5, choose to restart later and immediately run all the genkga files (genkga4.exe, genkga3.exe, dat.exe & last but not least the run.bat files) from moonshinenite's "activador" folder. You need to remove both existing realtek audio drivers & x-fimb5 software before installing his modded drivers & x-fi mb5.Īlso, right after installing the Sound Blaster X-FI MB5 software, do not restart the computer right away. first try 7960, if that one doesn't make x-fimb5 work, then try the 7747 version - that one does work on my system for sure. Try moonshitenite's modded drivers from his 7960 driver package from the link (that's where I got the genkga3.exe file). X-FI MB5 was released only to PC manufacturers & board makers like Acer, Dell, Gigabyte & Sager. To answer byu1's question of what Sound Blaster X-FI MB5 does, look at this page: I use these newer versions rather than the one included in the modded realtek driver package get the latest version of x-fimb5 from either Gigabyte or which is v1.00.19 (and is compatible with Win10 anniversary update & higher as well as with Win7 & Win8.x): The sound blaster x-fi mb5 package included in the modded realtek package is kinda outdated. Wow, Alan's realtek x-fi mb5 mod driver worked, even with a very old Realtek ALC861 audio chipset on my old Intel motherboard, though I had to modify the hdxrt.inf file to include my hardware ID on it because the INF file originally didn't have it (it begins with "HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_0861")
