CR6 0 Posted November 9, 2004 Author Share Posted November 9, 2004 I know what you mean with problems with Creative's cards. However, support has improved a lot with their Audigy line. It used to be that they would release drivers for the first year of the card and that was it, but I was pleasantly surprised they updated my Audigy 1 drivers 2 years after release, although I wasn't having any problems with it If you are still using an old Creative card (i.e. Sound Blaster 16, 32, Live! series), your best bet is to use the default drivers that come with WinXP. They are very stable and I have not run into any problems with Microsoft's version of the old Sound Blaster drivers - even for my old SB 16 ISA card! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zebb 7 Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 Thanks CR6, i did upgrade my old SB Live to an Audigy2 ZS but my comp was crashing or freezing up all the time, i reinstalled my old SB Live and i was having the same problem but only when i was playing games, after much computer bashing i read in some obscure forum about a conflict between Creative soundcards and Via chipsets which i have, so i removed my soundcard completely and the problem stopped, on advice from NC over in my squad i got hold of a TurtleBeach Santa Cruz card from ebay and so far i have'nt had any problems, at least so far.......
