  if i install my sounblaster audigy 2 ZS drivers (the vista beta ones from creative) then it causes my computer to go into sleep mode every ten seconds. take the card out and uninstall and the pc is happy again.

  OK, here's the deal. It looks like your card is pretty old and isn't supported on Windows Vista. So if you're looking for alternatives, one option is just to use the on-board audio device if your board has one. Otherwise here are some suggestions of other add-in cards from Creative that we know work all right. All of these drivers can be picked up at their website: Audigy1, Audigy2, Audigy4 (there isn't an Audigy3), X-Fi-Extreme Fidelity.

  Hope that helps you...

  I have Creative X-Fi Platinum and the same problem. Drivers on Vista cause BSOD. It's the end of the February and still no software and even no stable drivers for X-Fi. Shame on Creative and Microsoft.

  Additionally, I have used USB audio devices from Creative and Turtle Beach and they work pretty well.

  I have the same problem with my creative sound blaster 5.1 soundcard.

  Microsoft update gets the drivers for it in auto update, but everytime i try to use them i get the BlueScreen error giving me a PFN_LIST_CORRUPT

  As soon as I uninstall the sound blaster drivers it works fine again.

  I'm using x86 OEM Vista Ultimate RTM and the drivers were downloaded and istalled 7th April 2007.

  I think something needs to be fixed here.

  This is the problem called "squeal of death". Try search it on google.

  Many users of audigy 2 zs notebook have this problem.

  No solution yet.

  It sounds like you've discovered a bug. While this forum's main purpose is for technical questions about the Media Foundation multimedia API, we still thank you very much for reporting it.

  I've relayed the info you gave me to our audio driver experts, and we'll see if it's a known issue or if we can reproduce it.

  I or someone else will make another post here if we need some more info from you.

  Again, your bug report is much appreciated.

  My MainBoard (Abit KD7-E) doesn't have integrated sound and i don't plan to change sound cards 'cause i'm not interested in that 5.1/7.1 thing. I have a stereo amplifier and 2 three-way 250W speakers, and this card has a quite good sound quality, i donn't really trust x.1 stuff for quality, maybe i'm wrong, but afterall why do i need to buy a new soundcard if i have a geed one working
