Ah, so you have the same problem as I do. Except for me it's on the headphone jack for my creative speakers.

Garbage, all garbage.

Wow, whether this is fake or not I'm honestly not sure. But I think Creative has had a lot of pent up tension from their utter lack of support, and this is just the spark that was needed to set off the bomb. Personally when I made my 1st build here in October I knew about Creative's horrible reputation and this is EXACTLY the reason why I went with HT Omega instead, whom by the way give full support on Vista

Yeah, this one is gonna cost a few jobs over at creavtive. It's a pity, they could have saved themselves a lot of trouble if they just gave this daniel_k a fat cheque.

Alright everyone. Go buy good, non-creative sound cards now! I just hope the prices don't get jacked up as a result of this. I want to get that razer barracuda next time woot has it.

Off topic, I wonder how many e-chicks daniel_k is picking up right now LOL
