Vista Drivers?

Hi,
We recommend that you use the beta C-Media drivers. We're waiting for a full driver release before we make our own driver available. The existing betas are not complete, some of the Dolby/DTS technologies are not available in them.

Can you clarify a bit more on what's missing? Passthrough works, correct? Do DDL and DTS encoding work?

I believe passthough works fine, but DDL and DTS don't, as far as I remember. These features will be added in the near future, though.

Anyone know if there any release dates yet for the final vista64 drivers? (Like most here, I am using the beta driver, and while it works, it would be nice to have a real driver that you don't have to jump through hoops in order to make it work :)

Hi,
Try this generic C-Media driver. It is supposed to be signed for 64-bit.

Thanks for that, I will try it out this weekend. Cheers!

what is the encryption key to use the drivers?

Can you please provide the password for this RAR file?

Like others here I am using the 64-bit edition of Vista and with Microsoft's new patches, you need to bypass driver signing every time you boot in order to get the Sondigo drivers to work.

Sorry about that, guys. I changed the link, so it's now pointing to an unprotected zip folder.

I am also running Vista X64 and my Inferno works perfectly.

I would much perfer to use Sondigo drivers. But I have had good luck running the AuzenTech drivers in the interim.

I found out about this from a post on another thread on this forum:

Incidently, I just bought my 2nd Inferno for a new dual quad-core Xeon system I am building. I am hoping it arrives this week.

Good Luck.

I´ve just found good news on http://www.bgears.com and there you can download vista-drivers for b-enspire, the same card like our sondigo. Good luck.

Hi,
I must correct myself. The new VISTA-driver from BGears isn´t as good as I thought. You should better follow the link from Aaron to CMedia. There you find new beta-driver and it works well on my system.

Bernd

Hi Bernd,
Thanks for the feedback. That C-Media driver is the latest one available, I believe, so it would make sense that it works the best.
-Aaron

Hi Aaron,
I think, these CMedia drivers are the best for now. But your link points directly to a file and it is not possible to enter the CMedia-page to look, if there is a newer driver. On CMedias-homepage there is no link to any VISTA-driver. Wouldn´t it be better to let us know what beta-driver is actual because of the feedback from many users?

Bernd

Hi Bernd,
My contacts at C-Media tell me that is the latest one. As for how it's presented on their site, unfortunately Sondigo can't influence that.
