Heres a weird one. Rc1 didnt detect my ancient Audigy 1 card so I tried all
of creatives beta drivers and none of those worked ( all told me I had no
soundblaster hardware). Thought I was going to have to format and go back to
32 bit until I found my old cd that came with the card. Tried that and no
surprise it wouldnt run. So I got vista to try to detect the hardware and
browsed to the driver folder on the disk, installed the drivers (32 bit),
rebooted and now I have sound. I was under the impression that 32 bit drivers
wouldnt work on a 64 bit machine but these work fine.
If anyone is in the same boat I can mail them the drivers I have.

I'm running the 32-bit version of RC1. Yes, the Creative drivers seem to work
well enough to activate my Audigy Platinum ex card. But of course, about six
sub items didn't install (one of them is the Firewire port, I'm guessing).
But this was the only way to get sound out.
