I am curious to see if this is a widespread problem. I have GW FX530XT running VISTA ultimate, 1950Xfire, and Creative SB4 Xtreme Music. The sound absolutely refuses to play. If I disable the sound card and use the on-board HD Audio, it works fine. I have replaced the sound card and same problem. I recently read an article that seems to indicate that VISTA has completely changed the way they use sound and for all pratical purposes made the SB cards obsolete because of the way they handle audio requests. Has any one else experienced this issue? DId you find a work around? Creative certainly hasn't put out updated drivers in months, so there might be something to this. The sound card seems to work with low intensity applicaitons, but not in HAlo 2 or Frozen Planet.
