Vista 64 Sound card drivers?

[dsheps83]

First My system

asus p5n32 e sli plus
core2duo 6600
nvida geforece 8800gts
2x raptor 36g in raid 0.
audigy 4 or supremefx (came with motherboard)

while running vista 32bit i could play the transformers ts files with only 50% cpu usage now with vista 64bit its sits a 20%and is jittery and the sound is stuffed, it plays slightly better using the supremefx, but if i disable the sound in device manager, it runs it perfectly fine, have tried the latest driver for both cards, short of buying a ne card anyone else had this and been able to overcome the problem.

if not what cards are fully supported under vista 64, dont wont to buy another card to have the same problem


cheers for any responses

audigy4 should run fine with vista64 - its the card i have. use the latest drivers from creative.com.

remember to disable onboard sound in your BIOS - this could be causing conflicts.

yeah the supreme fx is one of those add on cards that takes that little slot about 2cm long, but anyway ya might be right there may be something in the bios to do with the sound that i could disable.

and yeah i have downloaded the latest drivers for the audigy 4

Dont forget to get to get the modded Alchemy off creative forums. By a guy named Daniel_K. he also modded xfi drivers to work with A2/zs/etc as well as Sblive etc.

Well he made it where Alchemy doesnt do the eax5 check on the cards.
