5.1 Sound in Vista RC1 build 5600. Yes! Finally!

High Definition Onboard Audio: SIGMATEL STAC 92XX C-Major HD Audio. Audio
heaven.

Dell XPS/9150 dual core.

I have a complete total package using all kinds of DVD burning software.

The sole exception is Google Earth. Dang!

Hi Mick,
I haven't tried Google Earth yet in RC1 but it works great in RC2.

to wait?

Google Earth now works for me, but I had to unckeck the XP SP2 compatability
mode. I wish I never checked that box to begin with.
