Creative restores DTS and Dolby op X-Fi

Creative has released a new set of drivers on its website which should make the hardware decoding of DTS and Dolby sound signals with an X-Fi soundcard possible in Windows Vista. The driver also adds DVD audio playback, a feature that ran on XP, but not on the new Vista. With this, Creative brings the featureset of the X-Fi chip in Vista closer to the level of Windows XP.
