Windows Vista/Sound Card
 

Does anyone know of a cheap and cheerful sound card that works under Windows Vista? Online buying linky-thing would be helpful, too ;)

I have an E-MU 0404 Sound Card but drivers are not yet available - I can't do without "choons" any longer :lol:

Probably most of the soundblasters will be Vista'd by now and there's some cheap ones...

Re: Windows Viasta/Sound Card
 

I believe that your best bet is to go as cheap as possible.

Its only when there are fancy drivers (Creative Labs EAX type stuff) that there are problems.

Stuff based on AC97 chipset (nearly everything cheap) should be ok.

Buy from a shop so you can take it back if it doesnt work - and make sure you ask/get it in writing that it should work from the person you buy it from.

£10 should see you good

You guys do know they are still on "which mugs are going to buy this" release, you're not supposed to touch it yet, until the second edition at least, it is made by Microsoft remember :smt064

Cheers Mark.

My thoughts exactly... XP for me for a while yet. I must confess linux / Ubuntu is growing on me though.

Of course I do Mark, thats why everything is back on XP - I get to play with Vista at work - in fact - its my job :)

Never said that I bought it.............. :-dd

I'm a Mandriva Linux user and all my stuff worked out of the box.

I wouldn't touch Vista for at least 12 months... How many 'Hotfixes' are there for it already :shock: :shock: :shock:

True, but it's really nice to use :D

Got a Creative SB Audigy SE which said "Vista Ready" on the box........ still had to download the drivers and set the thing up, but I now have "choons" and am a happy bunny again :albino:
