Not really enough information to determine if the drivers you have are the
latest from the manufacturer and/or the latest from the manufacturer that
they have given (paid for) Microsoft to put on the Windows/Microsoft
updates...

What *exactly* is your sound card?

Windows Vista _____ Edition with Service Pack _, __-bit?

I retired my last SoundBlaster years ago and now use an onboard sound chip.
But, as I recall, there are at least dozens and probably hundreds of
different models of SoundBlaster cards. Which ONE do you have? And which
specific version of Vista?

Even if you just bought your card today, the drivers in the box may be
months old. They may pre-date Vista!
