workaround: Audigy 2 zs notebook (PCMCIA card) on windows 10 x64 bluescreen on reboot after install of 3552 #33

Replicate:

With card in slot, install 3552 kx driver and mole hotfix (https://github.com/kxproject/kx-audio-driver/issues/10#issuecomment-1650339617)

Reboot.

Blue screen: "SYSTEM THREAD EXCEPTION NOT HANDLED"

workaround:

Remove the card and reboot again to get into Windows.

Hot plug the card and then right click and install kx.inf in the kx project folder in c:\program files

Works fine after that. Sometimes works on reboot, other times need to pull it and hot plug again.

Please note this was on an old core2duo laptop with old school BIOS (no uefi, no secureboot).

Apparently a windows 10 update in 2020 caused the regular audigy drivers to crash windows 10.

This was fixed by daniel_k heere: https://danielkawakami.blogspot.com/2020/08/sb-audigy-series-support-pack-70.html

kx drivers would probably benefit from a similar fix, but daniel_k's blog has no contact info. Might be able to reverse engineer it by doing byte code comparison of daniel_k's driver packs.
