Hello,

You will need to use the DanielK Drivers. They are fully unlocked Creative Drivers.

*UPDATED* Unofficial Audigy Series Software CD for Win2000 / XP / Server 2003 / Vista 32/64-bit « No More Goat Soup

Scroll down a bit till you see the downloads. You will have to use teh Torrent as the FileFront files have been removed by request.

Cheers,
Mak

Creative's drivers are just fine now, danielk's are old.

It's not a driver issue, you have to enable the windows sound service.

in the sound config in your control panel are you sure the correct device is selected?

Creative Drivers are still locked. They do not allow for the 3D sound in games without their ALchemy plugin nor do they give you the THX or the Equalizer. Creative has specifically locked the Vista Drivers. That is why i still suggest the Daniel K Drivers.

Hello,

If the part with the back panel is greyed out that means that your drivers can not use that function. There isnt a way to just enable it. Have to find a different set of drivers to use.
