Windows 10: X-Fi XtremeGamer not working after installing KB4495667

As in the subject: after installing KB 4495667, there's yellow exclamation mark next to "Creative X-Fi" in the Device Manager and sound card is not working. Uninstalling the update solves the issue.

Sound issues with X-Fi XtremeGamer PCI

I have the Creative X-Fi Xtremegamer PCI soundcard that works flawlessly with Windows 7. After installing Windows 10 and updating to 14393.693 build I get this:

X-Fi XtremeGamer under Windows 10

So, I have a Soundblaster X-Fi XtremeGamer, and I've installed Windows 10 on my machine. Everything seems to work ok, except that I have no sound. I noticed on the Creative website that they expect to have a driver out for the Creative X-Fi XtremeGamer for Windows 10 sometime in September 2015 (roughly a month away).

In the meantime, is there anything I can do you get sound? I was able to install some non-Creative drivers, but I only get the option for SPDIF out (which my card doesn't have anyway) and I can't connect my speakers (normal audio cable) to get sound (in other words, if I connect my speakers, I still receive no sound). Windows reports that it cannot play any test tones.

I do have an ASUS M2N32-SLI motherboard, which has onboard sound, but that doesn't seem to work at the moment, either. Windows 10 doesn't even seem to recognize that audio device.

I'd like to play some games between now and September, so does anyone know if it's possible for me to get some audio in the meantime?
