Greetings,
hate to post again but alas - I have yet ANOTHER issue.
Apparently this is a big embarrassment to Creative as their drivers for the Audigy 2 series have been dumbed down in order to work properly. Almost 75% of the cards ability has been disabled. There is a guy who is rewriting the drivers and of course you can read the saga about this.
The problem:
After installing the drivers for vista from creative's website - I can not hear voices in chat? I've tried everything.
Finally I went into one of the many different avenues to adjust your sound settings in vista - which apparently aren't attached to each other for one reason or another, and noticed that I have no sounds coming from my center or right channels.
I attempted to remove the creative drivers and add this guy from the creative website forums' drivers, and this seemed to work. All the speakers tested fine however in game - same result.
I have to dumb down my config to a 2 speaker system in order to hear people.
The first time I launched Aces High 2 after this update, I crashed.
Immediately after applying these new patches , my first attempt ended in a blue screen with IRQ issues. I did get them to run the second time.
I'm not sure if any help could occur in these forums, but I figured I would at least post this so that others with this issue would be able to realize this is a problem with Creative and probably not Aces High2. I was able to load other mainstream games and play/test them without issue however.
Sigh - creative, amd(dual core issue), and microsoft vista on my sh** list now.
