Soundblaster AE-7 on Zen2

[Jokester]

Anyone got this combination yet?

The card sounds lovely, except it can't cope with what I'm assuming is the variable clock speeds and it cuts out pretty quick. Putting a load on the CPU and sound works as happy as larry.

Anyone seen anything about this on the net? Someone mentioned something about this in the massive Zen2 thread, but my google skills have failed me.

All I can do at the moment is wait for driver updates.

Have you tried the beta driver?

Great thanks! That's working a treat now.

Edit: Saying that, it's not perfect it still crackles now and again.

I appreciate this is not on point, but I have an AE-7 on Zen1 with original driver - no issues

Creative released an updated driver, yay!

Except it re-introduces the problem. Put the beta driver back over the top of it and fixed again.
