Note About Windows Logo Testing
When you install the 1616M PCIe drivers, you will see a dialog box informing you
either that the driver has not been certified by Windows Hardware Quality Labs
(WHQL), or that the driver is signed by Creative Labs, Inc, and you will be asked if you
would like to continue with the installation.
The 1616
m
PCIe audio drivers are not certified by WHQL because the product does not
support some of the features that the Microsoft Windows Logo Program requires, most
notably Universal Audio Architecture (UAA) and Digital Rights Management (DRM).
Despite this, the 1616M PCIe audio drivers have been rigorously tested using the same
test procedures that a WHQL qualified driver requires, and it passes in all of the other
important categories, including those that measure the relative stability of the driver.
So, it is perfectly safe to install these drivers on your computer.
