I am having major problems with Audigy 4 Pro under Vista. Worked fine for about 3 weeks, then when trying to record last night, my smart recorder made the recording devices "unavailable".
I have checked it is connected properly, tried re-installing the drivers from the Creative site but still doesnt work.
Daft thing is, it is kind of working as when I play my keyboard synth normally through my soundcard/speakers, it works. Just looks like my recording devices won't work.
Anyone any ideas? Thanks.

I to have problems with the Audigy 4 (Vista Drivers) and have been told to buy a new sound card, Vista not like this card! I will buy a new one when funds permit. Anybody know which one would be best for Vista!

Creative see $$$ so don't support the Audigy 4 and instead pile their money into the X-Fi. Interestingly the Audigy 2 works fine

Hi All
I have Sound Blaster X-FI Extrememusic. There latest drivers from May 2007
do not work. All I get is static from my speakers. The old drivers from March work great. Not to impressed with Creative.

Has any body tried to Default (WDDM) drivers which Vista will install by
simply deleting your current drivers, then rebooting, and allow'ng Vista to install DEFAULT signed drivers.

Hi Airman, thanks for the tip, i have looked them up and read a great review, so will have a good think! I have always used Creative and have had very few problems, but this one stinks. I shall buy a new one and will go for the Bluegear Engineer.
Have Fun

I found this and it might work: http://www.softwarepatch.com/utiliti...vista-2-4.html.

One suggestion: Uninstall the previous driver prior to installing the new driver: Right-click 'Computer' > Select Properties > Device Driver > Right-click the device and select Properties > Driver tab > Select Uninstall. Delete any folder(s) or file(s) that relate to the driver, e.g. temp files.
