Creative sound cards

Don't know how many of you received the expire notice from Creative today,
but for my card there is no updated driver available. We need to let
Creative know that we are in need of those replacement drivers or at least a
driver with a later expire date before the current driver expires next week.

Uninstalling and reinstalling the driver should do the trick. It just
counts X days from when its installed.

What card/driver do you have?
I have X-Fi and have not received any notice.

John:
You're lucky to have sound. I'm running Vista Enterprise RTM x64 and
no drivers are available yet for my Audigy 2zs. Hopefully they're released
soon. Have a great day.

Did you try the beta drivers on the website? I have basically the same card
but platinum but am at RC1. As I remember the only difference was the way
the console was organised.

Uninstalling and reinstalling the driver does not work, I tried that and
mine still says it will expire on Jan. 12 as it did before

John:
They didn't work and the x64 drivers wouldn't work either. With RC1
& RC2 I was using the x64 drivers for sound.

On my Dell at work, I automatically got drivers for my Sound Blaster Live
5.1 from Windows Update. RTM.

You have my sympathy. No sound would drive me crazy. I need noise to think
:-) You still going to be able to get back to work next month? Hope things
are going well.
