Audigy 2 Vista experience

l0v3r · Nov 5, 2007, 08:18 AM

Installed Vista for a try:
- kX 3538 have some limitations
- kX 3539 works but after 15-20 minutes the system hangs with no error
- latest Creative drivers don't remember the speakers configuration remaining in stereo mode also if the settings are on 5.1
- nVidia drivers are immature with a lot of problems and limitations compared to XP

I think to try to use kX 3538 back and give a last chance to Vista... meanwhile I'll do a new install of XP on the second HDD, that I think is the better solution (it's so strange... the OS that microsoft give as a new experience with multimediality, have problems right with it... mah!).

The end of the experience: installed openSUSE plus back to XP with kX... better... much better!

I've tried it for a while (got a free license for Vista Business). Conclusion: XP does the same thing, but faster.
