Microsoft Windows Vista features a new audio stack, which completely revamps how the operating system communicates with audio devices. The new audio stack, dubbed Universal Audio Architecture, or UAA, requires companies to develop new drivers. Hardware accelerated audio devices are treated as an independent device, separate from the audio output capabilities of a sound card under Windows Vista.

i don't see why CL didn't already have OpenAL support - they were part of the OpenAL development, but judas, their drivers were hardly "broken," just designed for DirectSound, which MS decided to drop from Vista

Well I am about to build a new computer at the end of the month and I think at that point my audigy 4 will just go in the trash where it belongs.

OpenAL is obviously not what developers wanted or they would have started using it back in 1999 when it was originally released.
