So, I heard the XFI cards don't really like X64 especially with 4gb or more RAM. I've got an Xtreme Gamer OEM card and it's just not working in Vista. I've tried a few different drivers and now it says it's there. I can even slide the volume up and down but literally nothing comes out. I've tried with headphones too, so it's not the speakers.

Is there any way of getting this card to work in Vista X64 or am I going to have to RMA it already? :confused:
 
My X-FI (Fatal1ty Pro Champion) works fine in Vista so far, will see this week with 4GB.

Have you grabbed the latest Vista driver and gotten sound and if so Grab the Vista .ISO for all the new APPS, dont try run your old ones.

Yeah, tried the latest drivers just says I don't have the required hardware in my system when I can physically see the card plugged in..

Managed to find some random drivers which at least reconised a card existed although no sound comes out so pretty useless!

X-Fi driver to correct issues with 4Gb RAM based on Auzentech Prelude's drivers.

Test driver, use it at your own risk.

http://www.auzentech.com/site/download/updates.php

Should work, supports all X-Fi models. Unfortunately the files needed for Audigy support were removed.

Uninstall previous drivers, reboot and run setup.exe.

You'll be prompted with a security warning about unsigned drivers.

Please report any findings.

Thanks guys, just restarted - un-installed all the drivers and let Vista redetect it, and lo behold its started working! Weird but at least it now produces sound!

Thanks for the links, I'll see what's going on but at least I can hear stuff now! :D

Test driver #3 added, might fix the speaker issue. This is my last try.
