Funky Error in Vista Beta 1 (audigy 2)

r2tincan · Aug 2, 2005, 05:09 PM

I'm using a soundblaster audigy 2 in windows vista beta 1, and I can't get the drivers to work correctly. I've heard reports of it working, but for me sound won't play and when I start up I get an error message that says that the drivers need to be reinstalled, or if I just installed them to restart.

I've restarted and nothing is fixed. Installation seems to go fine and the drivers are assigned correctly to my devices.

Please help.

Thanks

Current kX drivers are not built for Microsoft Vista, especially not for Beta as far as I know. If you are talking about Creative drivers you are at the wrong place.

Support for operating systems for kX drivers is not planned to extend beyond Windows XP. If you would like to change that check this thread and vote. Thank you.

That may be so but I know other users have got it to work, and if so what am I doing wrong?

I really need sound.

when you are installing BETA software, or any other one primary intended for TESTING purposes only - you agree that strange things may happen

if you really need sound - then go back to Windows XP and kX3537

An important question would be: which version of Vista are you using? The 32bit or 64bit version? Plus, which version of Vista was the people using that have gotten them to work?
