I'm looking at getting a new card to replace my Audigy 2 ZS (which has
crap
Vista support). Are the X-Fi cards better with Vista?
Any known issues with drivers etc?



I have an XtremeGamer and it works fine.

Isnt is pretty much a waste of time to have high end sound cards on vista
due to the audio all being done in software? I was under the impression that
directsound through hardware was completely disabled.

Its kind of like having the best graphics card in the world, and it set to
vga compatibility default drivers.
