Creative has been crippling it's drivers for close to a decade. Different OS. Same story.

What is the best sound card today considering Vista in your opinion? I put this on discussion 'cause I have a SB X-fi Platinum, and am really disappointed with it. I'm considering selling it and maybe try something new, as I'm tired of Creative and their disrespect with costumers.

I'm never surprised by this behavior anymore. Creative has too many PHBs that tell the developers to cripple older cards so the newer cards will sell better.
All they really end up doing is ticking off loyal customers, and cause them to switch to some other brand.

Creative sucks. Period. It has always sucked and it will always suck.
Right now, I feel pretty comfortable with my integrated Realtek HD Audio codec.

I agree the company and it's practices suck. But it can make decent hardware from time to time. I still use my SB Live! card and I love it. It's been the most stable card under Linux that I've tested.

My Alsa Mixer shows volume sliders for L/R Surround, Center, and LFE. To me it looks like it can support it. I've never tested 5.1 under Linux myself. But, now I'm curious to see if Totem in Ubuntu can output it with the DVD plugin. I'll have to check it out some time.

I'm running an Audigy 2, which uses the emu10k1 driver, and have a 5.1 setup running with no problems. Linux 2.6.22 and ALSA 1.0.14.
Yes, it’s my fault.
