    Has anyone with a dedicated sound card like Sound Blaster Z PCi found that after doing a Creator update the it no longer works the way you had it setup? I know, I did the update to see what features where there but instead of a update it screwed up my sound driver and now I get no output on my front head phone plug. I will now have to reboot the image and try to do the Creator up and see if this is a fluke or something really mess-up with Creator. If the second time it happens I am going to not take this Creator update as it messed up a sound driver already and these are Window 10 drivers for my latest Build that is all Win10 system.

    Update:
    Also not to mention it screws up any custom software setups you have setup. I know it messed up my sound driver and my tweakui settings. So I forced back my working image before Creator and everything is working fine again.

    Creators isn't READY for PRIME TIME.....I will wait for Creator SP1 before even installing it.

    Even MSFT warned that Creators will cause more issues. Definitely wait Creators Fall Update.
