If you are beta testing Vista 5231 and have a Creative Labs Audgigy 2/Zs or Audigy 4 card, you are most likely having problems geting it to work as I did, I have the fix for you.

* Download the attached file
* Unpack using winrar
* Navagate to the folder "DRIVERS"
* Run the "SETUP" for the "Creative Device Driver Setup Program"
* You will see new hardware found notices.
* BE PATIENT you will be prompted to reboot your computer for the changes to take effect
* Reboot and install will complete
* Reboot again

Please note, their are still problems, but at least we have sound.

I also will be testing the 64bit drivers, keep your fingers crossed!

Havent verified this or not but for me it could possibly be causing my bluescreen's ... i dunno.I bug reported it and sent off 3 dump files to MS to see what they tell me.

I have the Audigy 2ZS Notebook and when I tried to use it on my notebook running XP x64, there was a problem with excessive static and crackling noises coming from the card. The best solution was to manually edit the driver code to bump the PCI latency up a notch. However, Creative has basically done nothing to address this issue, even though there were numerous posts on their forums regarding this issue.

Post up how you did it, please...

BTW, welcome to the community!

Wooow thanks man, this is great! most audigy/soundblaster cards have had sound problems in all builds.

[RedInferno]

[tntoak]

still trying to find it... I apologize for the delay...


Here's an automated patch - one is for VIA chipsets only, the other is for non-VIA motherboards:

Here are two tools to use as well:

PCI Latency Tool 2.7

WPCREDIT

Description of the fix (states it was for an eMAchines M6811, but it will work for the majority of notebooks with the static issue):
