Soundcard for Vista
 

I've been giving Vista a go tonight and surprisingly it works straight out of the box with most of my hardware. Unfortunatly I can't get sound from my onboard card for the life of me. I've tried about 10 sugestions for different drivers but I still don't get any sound. So I thought I could give a new card a go.

I'm after a cheap card that has known working drivers for Vista - anyone got any ideas?

When you look in device manager, does anything come marked as "not working" ?

Nope it shows as working - that's one of the thngs that's stumped me. :(

What is the onboard chip ?

Do you have the speakers set correctly ? My realtek controller will only output to the set speaker types in vista, so front headphones, rear 5/1 or optical, never all of them at once. Does things like windows media player play music but you cant actually hear it ? or does it come up with no sound device error

It's a soundMAX chip. the latest drivers make it look like it's working but there's no sound. I've made no changes to the setup from formatting XP and installing Vista. :erm:
