    Hi All,

    Anyone has been able to turn on all advanced functions of the sound card?
    I installed drivers from SB side, but only X-Fi CMSS-3D works.
    I tried to install drivers from CD (Vista 64) but - the same isuue.
    Model is SB0710 for Notebook and I have W7 HE 64 bit

    I remind you that you have a Creative sound card.
    It took almost a law suit and a complete ban of Creative product for them to make crappy Vista drivers for their latest sound card.

    I'm getting my X-fi Surround 5.1 today or tomorrow and will report on my success with it in Windows 7 Ultimate.

    Installed W7, all suggested downloads from creative for 64 bit X-Fi card, but got latest update from automatic window updates...(newer than on creative site). Works MUCH better than 32 V, or 64 V.
