Is this it?

have you used this with Vista yet?

I have an audiology 2 ZS and since installing Vista it only will give me 2.1. With headphones I only get sound out of the left ear.

I've used about sixteen different drivers from Creative, both for XP and the new, wonderful vista drivers that took Creative about ten months to make.

Still no *^%*@#^ surround sound. No EAX. The only options are 'mono' and 'stereo.'

So, I was wondering, does YOUR creative sound card work with 5.1 or 6.1 or even 4.1?

This months PC Gamer in the UK has an article on P116 about soundcards and Vista. In it they say that relativly last minute changes in Vista took out Win Xp's Directsound API and in doing so removed surroundsound and environment effects.

The replacement UAA Universal Audio Architecture improves system stability, but Vista can only output mono or stereo.

Silly really
