    It works for Vista 64!, December 14, 2007

    In my long search for a Dolby Digital Live card that works with Windows Vista 64, I stumbled upon this beauty. Don’t let the low price deceive you. What you need to do to get Dolby Digital Live goodness to work with Vista is to:
    1. install the card
    2. download the drivers from the c-media website forums for Vista 64 (they won’t list the card but which chip is on the card, I believe it is the one that ends with the number 3)
    3. connect the spdif to your 5.1 or 7.1 audio receiver
    4. set the analog speaker c-media output to 5.1 or 7.1 and make that your default windows output
    5. go into the xear settings and switch the output to spdif dolby digital live
    6. enjoy dolby digital live with your games (set your games to 5.1 or higher audio. It works great with COD4!)

    I was in need of a sound card that would give me 5.1 Dolby Digital Live on the cheap, to work in Vista through my sound system (digital optical input only). I wanted to use this for true surround sound playing the recent crop of Games for Windows and my on-board sound would only ouput 2.1 PCM audio to my speakers. I am happy to report that this card has solved my problem. Bioshock is wonderful with separated channels. I used the drivers that Vista automatically found online and haven’t had a problem yet. Would be nice if this card support EAX 5.0, but EAX 2.0 is good enough.

    I have always loved my Creative soundcards and this is the first non-creative card I have purchased. I bought this card for two reasons.
    1- My Creative Card (X-Fi Elite Pro) lost many of its features (such as its remote control) when I upgraded to Vista.
    2-My creative card did not output 5.1 sound to my receiver.
    I have my computer in the living room connected to a projector and an amp. If you connect your computer to an amplifier, this is the only card for you because it delivers sound in a 5.1 dolby digital stream.
