Introduction:
This website contains information on where to find Linux drivers for a variety of Creative products, as well as some open source programming information related to Creative products.If you have any new information or corrections to information on this site, please use our Web Mail Form.
There is a Creative IRC channel at FreeNode (irc.freenode.net #creative).
Please Note:
Links to third-party drivers are not supported by Creative, but are provided as a possible resource. Many of the links are suggestions from Linux users about drivers they found available.
If you find a driver not listed or an alternative driver that works, or work better, I can post that link as well. Please provide Device Details: such as:the Name of the device, the Model Number, the Product ID, the Vendor ID, and a URL to the Web site.
If those third-party sites state that their drivers work with the specific device you have, then I suggest you contact them about how to install or any issue you are having with their driver. If you find out from them, that your specific product is not supported or is only beta with their drivers, please let me know more information so I can change the link and comment. Please provide Device Details and a comments about why I should change the information posted. Such as: Driver is Beta , no longer being updated, move to new site, bad URL... Any extra information that might be helpful.
If the link is broken, moved, or their drivers do not support the specific device, please let me know and I'll change or remove the link. I'll need the Device Details.
Thank you for your help.
