Creative has loads of sound cards for the PC market and just as other hardware manufacturers it is getting ready for Microsoft’s coming operating system Windows Vista. The thing is that Vista handles sound in a completely different way than Windows XP and this has made the transition to Vista considerably more tricky than first hoped. Even if Creative already has beta drivers for Windows Vista there are a lot of bugs that need fixing and it still working on solutions for some problems. Creative has to many people’s great joy made its work with Vista compatibility more public and now it has published a detailed thread in its forum where it presents the status of its work.
Creative even has a detailed description of Vista’s sound architecture and what compatibility there is with Windows XP. Very interesting reading for those who wants to know more about Vista’s handling of sound and how Creative has planned to solve this for its products, at the same time it is easy to see how the development of its beta drivers is going forward.
