I hope someone out in the forum can help me understand this:

I can't figure out for the life of me, why after installing the previous
version of Windows Vista Beta 2 that I got sound out it with my current sound
card:
Soundblaster Live! gamer. But now with this new version: Windows Vista
(RC1), I can't get sound out it. Using the same sound card.

I can't believe Microsoft would release a new version of Vista and take away
the support for most sound cards, and now there is no support for most?

Well... you guest it. I can't get the sound to work. Vista (RC1) runs very
well, but no sound. I found out that Creative Labs, those folks that created
the Soundblaster Card will not support Vista Beta until the final release.
[WHAT A BUMMER]

So since Microsoft is continuing with the Beta of Vista, then what happened
to the sound files that I thinik were imbedded within the Beta?

Can anyone help?


I feel like running around in circles, and stop, to see if my head would
continue spinning.

did you do an upgrade or clean install? Have you gone into device
manager and tried to update drive.

Hello danbrown, and thanks for responding.

I did a clean install. Because the installation said "upgrade disabled"

I went into device manager I attempted to update the driver, but it could
not find an updated driver on IE, nor within it's own data base of drivers

If you have the f you are using a 2 OS set-up, you may be able to snatch the
driver files from your XP drive or partition.. Just a thought...

Hey you guuyyss!!

I found the driver from a website called.....oh, oh, forgot the name. Will
post it soon. This website host the drivers for Soundblaster Live! Gamer for
Vista Beta (RC1). It's so unfortunate Creative has an attitude problem, not
supporting the Vista Beta until the Final release.

My next forum Post might be: Creative company's ATTITUDE problems.
