Vista loaded its own drivers for Soundmax but there are problems widely
reported with Soundmax and onboard sound. In my case I can't access speech
recognition and if I click on microphone properties the system crashes.
Solution, get a decent sound card and disable onboard sound.
Bugs I have....
In Microplanet Gravity, I get a "beep" everytime I click on a thread
title.
When I update the drivers, they don't work.
BUT if I use my Audigy2ZS then due to the immaturity of the drivers, I
get one hell of a performance hit in games.
Appropriate reports filed and I'll stick with the onboard until
Creative release the next set of drivers.
