Gotta remember that many of these new members, and many of the older members as well, belong to multiple forums... as for the rep, it doesn't really mean anything; I myself have been stuck @ my current number... also, just because they just joined OCN, they aren't neccessarily noobs... I have seen some of the best comments in this thread made by people who just registered today or yesterday

EDIT: srry double post, so I split it into two seperate posts, one for each response.

Fold with a sound card?? Now I've heard it all... once this blows over, that is soooo sigged

EDIT: Poor mods who had to approve each of the 350+ linkbacks.... thx for your hard work!

Exactly. The hardware is very nice, not the best by any means, but nice. I bet it would be great with some drivers that actually functioned correctly and get that "X-fi" name out of the Xtreme Audio!!

That's the first thing creative did to me, they falsely advertised that card, and i bit, and was very disappointed when i found out that it lacked the features that i wanted and i couldn't get a refund. But that's ok, it's in my dad's PC now that runs XP and it's perfect for his needs.

The second thing, and this really gets me is the poor sound quality when using the official drivers for vista, even on an X-Fi card. I get pops, crackles, you name it when i used the official drivers. I mean...some games are OK, but some are like...unplayable. I have this old NASCAR game (NASCAR Racing 2003 Season by Sierra- best racing sim ever!! lol) anyway...and it sounds like the cars are driving over those monster snap things that the little kids throw on the 4th of July, it's THAT BAD.

One more page till 100....in just over 24 hours. That is seriously insanity. That is what happens when you tell a bunch of computer enthusiasts (use our crippled hardware, and like it, *****).

If nothing else comes of this, at the very least we can say there were likely thousands, maybe tens of thousands who will be very reluctant to touch Creative hardware, knowing Creative won't hesistate to screw them over and not think twice about it.

That's what bugged me more than anything. I can forgive incompetence, we can't figure out how to make the drivers work right in Vista, that's a learning curve and they will get there. But to me this smacks of down right cutting features which were there to push another card.

I would rather see Creative not lose tens of thousands of customers... it would be better if they listened to the united voice of the Internet, and made some changes... For starters, it would be nice to see timely, quality drivers and updates, better customer service, honest advertising and no crippling of any functions, and more support for the open source community.... suprised Google isn't in an uproar yet, seing as how they support open source to the core
