64-Bit Vista Sound Cards
I have the Soundblaster Live 24, and went to the MFG site, got the "Beta" 64
bit drivers and find that Vista refuses to install the software. So no sound, and no checking any multi media other than some video... less than 80% so far.. -- I love beta, 80% better than 0% "John Boy" wrote: Dave Ramlakhan wrote: Thanks John Boy I've been there and tried that one. It didn't work for me. What I am looking for is a list of soundcards that do work with Vista Beta2 64-bit, so I can try an alternative Based on my experience and from what others have posted, there is nothing sure about any of the drivers. The drivers for sound, video, scanners, printers, etc. seem to install and work fine for some people but not for others. It apparently is affected by the many variables that make up your system. I have seen it said that Epson scanner software would not install and work, but I had no problem. However, I cannot get either the nVideo drivers to install correctly, nor the RealTek sound drivers while others say they work fine for them. Since this is Beta software, I accept the problems and move on while I await the next version to see how it works. Life's too short to really get excited about Beta software and what does or doesn't work! It was exactly the same scenario with Win 2003 & XP x64. If you're going to play with Beta/Pre-Release software, then patience is the best road to follow. If it doesn't work today, it might work tomorrow - or the other way around, too! |
