Does Soundblaster themselves support the Live card in newer computers running Vista?
Looks like Soundblaster even has their own information about compatibility, too, along with links to vendor specific drivers. http://193.95.171.83/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE/,/?St=746,E=0000000000313673683 ,K=8049,Sxi=12,Kb=ww_english_add,VARSET=ws:http://us.creative.com/,Case=obj( 9286) From: Mike Gill [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, January 12, 2008 1:32 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: VISTA, Printers, Bill Gates, and a .50 CAL Did I mention I was beside myself? Of course I didn't check the compat list given the hardware in the machine was very commodity. The point was a very common piece which I wouldn't have never suspected of not being supported by a default driver came up that way. -- Mike Gill From: Rod Trent [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, January 11, 2008 1:41 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: VISTA, Printers, Bill Gates, and a .50 CAL Did you look through the hardware compatibility list first? http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windowsvista/aa905090.aspx _____ From: Mike Gill [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To: NT System Admin Issues [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Fri, 11 Jan 2008 11:33:27 -0800 Subject: RE: VISTA, Printers, Bill Gates, and a .50 CAL I upgraded an older Dell here to Vista that had a SoundBlaster Live card in it. Vista dropped support for it... I was beside myself. I know SB Lives are old and all, but they are so common. And they sound great! I'm not positive if the card was odd coming from Dell, but it was still crazy that I had to replace that component for Vista. -- Mike Gill ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~
