So you want a gaming sound card? Creative it is then. Ah, see that’s where you are wrong. Creative have recently released their X-Fi chip to Auzentech who have worked their PCB trickery into producing a card with the good aspects of the X-Fi with the window open to use Dolby Digital Live, DTS Interactive, and DTS NeoPC in the future.

Considering as this was one of the major complaints with the X-Fi itself, this card could be a serious contender to the Creative crown…

i'm a big fan of auzentech, and am pleased to see they will also offer the x-fi chip. auzentech make super quality kit, without the bloat, and include options that other manufacturers leave out (upgradeable opamps, and on-card front case headphone/mic headers), plus they have great drivers (listen up creative!).

Well then I'm game!!! I'm so ticked off at Creative over their crappy driver support for Vista. They haven't released a new driver for Vista users since the end of May!!! That is horrible!!!!! And they are still in beta for crying out loud!!!!!!!! I hope Creative burns to the ground!!!

My Creative xfi was fine tbh until yesterday, it started to crackle, now I know what you are all talking about.

I have read on another forum that you can actually get their vista drivers to run on Creatives x-fi cards. So I am going to give that a try since I'm sure they are better then the crap Creative is putting out. I'll let you guys know how it goes and how I did it.
