Sound card

[Guest]

Hello all, I just installed my copy of Vista today and am to this point very
pleased and impressed BUT my sound card driver doesn't want to install so I'm
guessing its not supported, figures since I've been holding off upgrading
that thing for a few years now. Anyways what would be a goodish sound card
that would work with Vista dolby 5.1 sorround is needed.

What is the name of the sound card?
Have you checked the manufacturers website for updates or patches to support
Vista?
Have you tried the XP drivers? (tip: try installing through device manager).

Hi,
I need to upgrade my sound too. I am going with creative. I think they are
the standard. Also they seem to be trying to keep up with the drivers. New
Egg has a
X Fi extreme music 24 bit 7.1 for about 110. You can got to knowledge base
at creative, keyword vista and see what drivers they are going to keep
updating and which ones they will D/C further resources. Good luck

Currently I'm using a Hurcules Game Fotismo III 7.1 at the time it was a good
amount of extras for the money but now is alittle dated as I have alot of
problems with the drivers they release and that was for XP. I will check new
egg later today, thanks for the info guys.

Before you get am X-Fi, I recommend visiting Creative's discussion
forums at:

After swearing off Creative for years (due to bad experiences I had
with their AWE32 driver for NT 4.0), I decided to give them another
chance with X-Fi. I'm sorry I did. I thought surely their newest
generation of hardware would have appropriately updated (last offical
driver release was Nov 2005) and solid drivers (for Windows XP x64 in
my case), but I was mistaken.
