I registered at creative forum long time ago, and i always explore there and noticed that the replied from forumer there not impress me...but i am wrong this time, accumulating 592 post from anger Creative users in just 36 hours since the first thread released by Creative mod....user power.... rclxms.gif

actually i not yet using this card in Vista, but i think i will try in few hours later....but i will never put high expectation on it because Creative can't do well even in XP environment.... shakehead.gif

maybe they have a newer (not much different ) model of sound card in the pipeline

with the good driver
ppl dun wan to change

now some one expose their fraud driver

and know that all they wanna do is market their newer product as the only vista coompatible

so ppl will have to buy new cards

they will then get more business doh.gif

actually unsurprisingly if they really got new card want to introduced since X-Fi introduced 3 years ago...but they no need to purposely cripple the card in Vista, i think the software engineer they hired only first year of IT graduate, not mature at all...or the engineer actually not an audiophile? so they don't know what is surround, DTS or Dolby Digital.....lol rclxm9.gif

just installed the Vista and use XtremeMusic on it....

The conclusion is you will waste the sound card if use under vista environment, all sound are software rendered, and i noticed the sound quality in Vista is significant different from XP, loss detail in the high frequency part...and NO DOLBY function in Vista...

Dude, find YouP-Pax driver.
It's a modded driver for Creative Sound Card.

The YouP-Pax driver will show the true colour of your card in Vista. wink.gif

By the way Lacus, how's the driver?
Working fine under your Vista?

For me, i feel that with YouP-Pax driver, the soundcard produces better sound compared to original Creative vista driver, what about you?
Do you feel the same?

I'm not sure about that either, because i rarely check for the latest driver.
Once i got a driver that has no bugs or crashes with my system, then i'll just stick with it, malas mau cari updated version. laugh.gif
