Sorry, re-reading your post, I see that you have already read these release
notes. 6.1 sound is not a limitation of Vista, but is a limitation of the sound
adapter drivers. Incidentally, the X-Fi series, also do not have 6.1 support
YET. We'll just have to wait for Creative to complete their drivers.
