>> New Drivers much better under Win 7
CL has finally corrected the issue with the Dolby Live DTS not being available in Win 7 You can now play games using the optical out to an AMP and get full Dolby or DTS
Installation was fairly simple though Win 7 requires a small patch to allow the CL web update to properly identify the card After that the web install pretty much does the job
One annoyance you cannot have the Dolby or DTS live services engaged if you are watching video in Power DVD 9 There is a collision of some kind It s easy to enable and disable but it s annoying That said I fully expected PowerDVD to fix the issue
I have had no crashes or problems under Win 7 x64 using the card Sound is great through the optical no idea what some of these people are talking about as far as the optical having problems Really can t say anything bad about the card It works
>> Works great on Windows 7
Got this on the Gold Box deal here at Amazon Worked immediately on Windows 7and I had no trouble installing all the software There s a lot of different software packages and the updater from Creative isn t too intuitive however It seems it didn t always try to give me the newest drivers and would ask me to download older drivers
>> Before You Buy
I DO NOT OWN THIS CARD
I stay with the Asus products these days in the high end systems I build They re definately more serious about supporting 64 bit operating systems like Win7
Anyway there s a reason for the GB offer at 80 This card is being dumped because Creative is falling down on support
Beware
