64 bit vista sound cards

Is there a list anywhere of sound cards that do work on Vista 64-bit? Can't get my soundblaster 5.1 or my onboard soundblaster 24-bit working.

Start by going to the Creative Labs web site, www.creativelabs.com going to support, select your on-board sound device, Vista x64 OS and you will be given a link for drivers.

Why don't people ever go to the manufacturer's web site and look for the most current information about drivers ans such? You arrive at the solution quicker if you go there first!

probably for the same reason people refuse to RTFM! dotcom

I wager that if you took a poll of the average user, more than 50% would tell you that they Believe MSFT produces the hardware drivers, and just expect that their xyz whatever will be "automatically" supported.

Thanks John Boy
I've been there and tried that one. It didn't work for me.
What I am looking for is a list of soundcards that do work with Vista Beta2 64-bit, so I can try an alternative

Based on my experience and from what others have posted, there is nothing sure about any of the drivers. The drivers for sound, video, scanners, printers, etc. seem to install and work fine for some people but not for others. It apparently is affected by the many variables that make up your system.
I have seen it said that Epson scanner software would not install and work, but I had no problem. However, I cannot get either the nVideo drivers to install correctly, nor the RealTek sound drivers while others say they work fine for them.
Since this is Beta software, I accept the problems and move on while I await the next version to see how it works. Life's too short to really get excited about Beta software and what does or doesn't work!
It was exactly the same scenario with Win 2003 & XP x64. If you're going to play with Beta/Pre-Release software, then patience is the best road to follow. If it doesn't work today, it might work tomorrow - or the other way around, too!
