Soundblaster Future
Reading between the lines, it appears that the current Soundblaster cards,
Audigy, 2, 4, etc., will not be capabile of providing the same features under Vista that they were able to do with Windows XP. Am I wrong? Does it mean that we all will need to step up to the next generation sound card also?

Soundblaster Future
Hi Fred,
So far it seem that Creative is well on their way to supporting the Audigy 2 and 4 series in Vista. I am running Vista x64 and have successfully installed the 64-bit drivers for my Audigy 2 ZS - I have setup 5.1 Surround, SPDIF Out, and even have the ability to modify the environment effects and CMSS settings. Once I figured out the Audio Console and the Sound Configuration tools, I was good to go. I wouldn't be running out to buy an X-Fi just yet. Cheers!
