    Im using a X-FI Soundblaster Notebook.

    I get these sound glitches(Like a squeaking noise of some sort) sometimes, i usually get it in WC3, i havent really tried any other games yet.
    When i play online it seems to happend alot more often, i dont really get it in offline games even though I've experienced it a couple of times in auido/video aswell.
    I had the same problem using Windows standard drivers for the soundcard.
    I had 0 problems in Vista with the sound.

    Anyone had this problem?

    Oh Boy.
    I know I might sound unhelpful.. but Creative is VERY bad porduct in their driver departement.. it's like if they can't keep employees and geep getting new employees like university graduate with no experience to make their driver with no engineering.

    Knowing that Creative refused to make Vista drivers for their X-Fi, and took a HUGE fight even law suits, for them to make the joke called Vista drivers.. and I will be surprised to see Win7 drivers working perfectly.

    Sorry, but all you can do is try to find a hack up driver, or just wait and cross your fingers under Creative publish Win7 drivers for your device via Creative web site.
