Note: To install X-Fi MB3 just skip the "asking for serial window", the setup will proceed normally. You will need the KGA tool to generate the needed keys, to activate X-Fi MB3. Although X-Fi MB3 is now abandoned, nevertheless I will not provide any links for it. Search google for the KGA tools.

Here are updated packs that are based on daniel_k (Daniel Kawakami) packs:

Creative Sound Blaster Audigy Series Support Pack v8.1 MOD (2026.02.28)

Credits and thanks to daniel_k for the original work. I have just patched/updated few components when and where needed.

Changelog:
Integrated the file CTAudSvc.exe 3.97.9.0 in the installer
Creative ALchemy 1.45.20
Sound Blaster Z Driver 6.0.102.0075 WHQL
Common Audio Driver Interface (CADI) 2.31.58
Creative Diagnostics 5.11.35
Host OpenAL (HOAL) 2.03.01
Product Identification Module (PID) 2.31.97
Creative DTS Connect Pack 2.02.00
Creative Dolby Digital Live Pack 4.02.00

Note: Take notice that daniel_k patched (injected code to) Sound Blaster X-Fi MB3 v1.00.06 and changed the version to Sound Blaster X-Fi MB3 v1.00.07. This patched/modded version by daniel_k should work even with Creative or ASUS sound cards, because it bypasses the hardware ID checks (white listed). NOT TESTED personally, though.
Similar patching was done to Audigy and SBZ series packs to make them universal for the respected sound card series. That is the main difference between my own packs and daniel_k packs, apart from the extras that daniel_k adds to his packs. I prefer to keep the official Creative files and functionality.
This level of patching is beyond my abilities.

As I did with my own pack, I have also patched setup.inx (invert logic) for daniel_k's Sound Blaster X-Fi MB3 and during installation, when asked to enter a serial number, just click cancel and the installation will continue. You need to search the internet and get the KGA tools to generate the needed files to be able to use it. I cannot help further with this.
