Vista Ultimate X64 woes

amx · 22 Jan 2007 at 22:01

I have a cheapy Sound Blaster Audigy SE which OcUK kindly supplied me with my build, but unfortunately, there is no X64 driver (and as its a low spec card, Creative are suggesting on their forum that a 64-bit driver will probably not be forthcoming).

Fortunately, I've managed to use the XP 64-Bit driver and sign into Vista by disabling the need to use digitally signed drivers, but this isn't ideal.

I would therefore be grateful if someone could recommend me a suitable Vista 64-Bit compatible sound card. It doesn't need to be anything special, i only use it with 2.1 speakers to listen to some music and watch movies.

Thanks

I have an onboard soundcard, but it's never worked and I couldn't be bothered to RMA it for a soundcard I wouldn't use

Hindsight huh

I might try and move away from Creative 'cos their driver support has always been shoddy at best.

Thanks for the suggestions so far!
