No hardware compatibility list for Windows 7 yet, even at this late stage. Sound cards are a definite issue, especially the ASUS MB ones created by Creative. The final release of Windows 7 renders even more sound cards useless. Most of the fuxes that worked with the beta releases of Windows 7 do nor work anymore. Good luck, I'm waiting for the list too.

If it works in Vista, it will work in 7

Why? There are new windows 7 drivers fir my X-Fi

Reply to chooch

Then use the optimized drivers.

When those aren't available, or don't work well, you may use the corresponding Vista drivers.

But the vista drivers didn't work...

Reply to chooch

The Win 7 drivers don't then either? Creative really drags their feet getting decent drivers out... that's why I started sticking with onboard audio.

the drivers should work, but maybe the installer doesn't. try manually installing the drivers from the device manager. i just used the same drivers as i did for vista for my auzentech sound card and it's just as functional as it was under xp and under vista.

I would like to see this list as well!!!

It may be a dumb question, but if I have a Sound Blaster 16 PCI Digital Sound card. (Model CT4730) and I'm running Win7ultimate 64, can I run "onboard" sound? and if so, how? (I have an "845 Ultra Ver:1" Motherboard)

Reply to chipottley

Frankly, both Auzentech and C-Media have released Windows 7 drivers, so every major card NOT made by Creative has official 7 support (Remember, any C-media based card can always fall back on the default C-media driver).

As for Creative, considering how bad their drivers are to begin with, maybe "support" is the wrong word to be using?
