RE: Sound card reconmendation for Vista 64
Kue2:
For the moment being, stay away from Soundblaster cards.
Drivers are still not mature enough.
Some features are still missing from those present in another OS's.
Just take a look at their Vista specific forums
http://forums.creative.com/creativelabs/board?board.id=Vista
and you will see what I mean.
Insatisfaction level there is at maximum.
My recomendation, stick with the embedded audio in the motherboard until the
soundcard manufacturers get it right.
Vista changed radically the sound subsystem and that's the reason why good
drivers (and cards) are so difficult to find.

Re: Sound card reconmendation for Vista 64
Thanks - just checked, Win2K, XP, Vista O.K., no 64bit at all!
I used to think they had good drivers. . .

Re: Sound card reconmendation for Vista 64
Only support for WinXP 64
Audio Advantage SRM - FAQs
All files and documentation are offered on an *AS IS* basis and you
assume full responsibility for using them.
64 bit Drivers & Support
64-bit Technology was first introduced in high-end server systems such as
those employing the Intel Xeon, Itanium and AMD Opteron CPUs. The "x64"
architecture is now showing up in consumer-level systems, which are
supported
by Microsoft Windows XP Pro x64 Edition and Windows Vista x64.
While these are readily available, they are still aimed at power-users and
those who need more power than standard-issue PCs can offer. Voyetra Turtle
Beach products are aimed at mainstream PC users for home entertainment
purposes, so we steer our resources to these more 'user-friendly' aspects of
home computing.
- At this time, we provide 64-bit driver support for the Audio Advantage
products in Windows XP x64 Edition *only* *NOT FOR VISTA 64*.
Thank you for your support of Turtle Beach products!

They seem to be a shadow of their old selves. Only one half-way decent sound
card shown. Seems like old technology.
