images/news/vista.jpgWell, it has only been about 6 months since the last X-Fi drivers from Vista came out. We finally have some new ones to try out. Lets hope that these ones fix a lot of the bugs that were in the older ones. Head on over to the link to download the new drivers!!

Funny its always the OS' ...the Audio stack has not changed since it was set in stone at Beta 2.... Creative has consistantly dropped the ball and made an effort not to support their products...blame creative not vista.

and for the record..they work good..better than the last batch

I wasn't blaming Vista. I know Cretaive sucks! Probably the last one that I will ever buy!

well i spoke too soon... the drivers still dont like x64 at all

same for the m-audio products. crummy really. no new drivers (their xp "revolution" drivers are from '04...i ended up buying a new card. not a creative, i might add...). i wonder why creative are dragging their feet?

I've been using these for a week or so and they're ok. But as with anything from Creative on 64bit, they fill some holes and open new ones.

They knew the audio stack was changed...it wasnt run off of DirectSound anymore. So that excuse from them is totally lame. Also, how are u going to make a x64 driver and not allow 4 gigs or more and not have the audio drivers take a dump...this is absolutely uncalled for and has been an issue since vista came out with their second batch of drivers. They drag their feet because they assume that when they come out with a Vista compatible Xfi 2 that people will dump their X-Fi im sorry but if you dont support your first product what makes u think people are going to stick around for the next release seeing as how they so happily support their products... Creative blames vista...but its creatives fault for continuing to use DirectSound instead of the Open AL audio layer..

Some holes arent even fixed...ive went back to my 8.1 Onboard sound card until creative can get this right..Sp1 changed the audio stack a lil and im sure the drivers arent going to function regardless.

I don't know, these drivers are working for me. The last set didn't work at all for me, I had weird static sounds in the old ones now and again. These ones I have yet to hear that.
