    Audigy card drivers and Vista

    I've been having hell with my old Audigy Platinum card under Windows Vista. Everything works well except for recording. Regardless of whatever source is selected, I get jittery sound. Sometimes it will work, but usually not.

    The worst part is, a lot of these are known issues, and Creative is not exactly falling over themselves to fix it. I'm using the latest drivers, and they still suck. A friend of mine is using the onboard audio on his new system with Vista, and everything is fine.

    I'm going to try the onboard audio tonight myself and see how it compares. I'll miss the drive bay ports, but I can add new ones later I suppose.

    I think I'll also remove the floppy drive that I've had since my 286 days. I originally kept it for BIOS updates, but since most of today's boards update through Windows, what's the use?

    Turns out the onboard audio is great. Not one problem, and I have just as many connector options.

    I'll be putting my system into a new Lian Li case this weekend hopefully, so I'll have the essential front connections that I lost by removing the Audigy from this old case.

      Well, drivers from creative where always a pain in the ass. I would have not expected to have a good, working solution for Vista anytime soon.

        Graphics Card mounting frame
        by Kemer
        Hello, I removed the graphics card from my laptop and I want to heat it in the oven. What I want to ask is, is it okay to heat the card without removing the metal mounting frame on it?

        As you can see in the photo, there is a plastic (black) gasket between the metal frame and the card. It sticks the frame tightly to the card.

        I previously removed the metal frame while heating it, but it is quite difficult to separate it from the surface it is attached to. If there is no problem, I do not want to remove it.

        What worries me right now is the possibility that...

        EVGA Nu Audio Sound Card - Not Working
        by FZG
        I have an EVGA Nu Audio sound card that is not working properly and I need some help diagnosing the fault (preferably by someone who owns this card and is willing to take some measurements).

        The card sort of powers up (LED lights are coming on and the relais is clicking, some voltages are present) but it is not detected in Windows. I tried installing in two different PCs and tried several driver versions but the card was never detected anyway. So I thought this is probably not a driver / software-issue and then disassembled the card to take some measurements.

        I found...
