Creative Labs Audigy 2 ZS with Vista Build 5384

[Guest]

I finally was able to get the Audigy to run in Vista 32 AND Vista 64. I used
the beta drivers from Creative's download page.

I had to install the XP 64 drivers first and on top of that the Vista drivers
from Creative.
works great now

Hey Charles

Been there and done that.
I deleted the current driver that I had and then installed the XP 64 drivers
and everything went well except that I had no sound. So I re-installed the
VIsta drivers again and to my amazement the sound came out and is working
gerat.
Hope it works with you

I tried reinstalling the beta drivers from the Creative Website about 3 times
but no sound whatsoever. This goes for RC2, RC1 it works fine. No fun if
there's no sound, so I'm going to delete.

On the whole, Vista is more bother than anything else at this point in time.
Lots of software (burning, antivirus) doesn't work and there's no support for
my sound card or for my pinnacle TV card.

Rubbish beta. Won't test again. Next time i'll install on a virtual machine
so I can DELETE it all again!

To install Creative drivers in Vista you gotta go through the headings of
this newsgroup and find out how other people got Creative drivers to work to
give sound on their Vista. There's a number of steps to do, so it's not all
that simple. For me I couldn't get my Audigy to work on my Vista RC2 until
I tried installing Creative drivers for XP 64 bit. As for antivirus Avast
works on Vista RC2 and it's free.
