Windows Vista: Creative veröffentlicht neuen Betatreiber

Creative hat heute einen neuen Windows-Vista-Beta-Treiber für Audigy-Soundkarten veröffentlicht. Der Treiber ist sowohl für Windows Vista x86 als auch x64 geeignet.

Im Vorfeld der Veröffentlichung meldeten sich im Netz viele erboste Creative-Kunden zu Wort, da der bis dato existierende Beta-Treiber am heutigen Tage ausläuft und seitens Creative keine Reaktion, selbst auf Kundenanfragen, zu verzeichnen war. Besonders deutlich wird dies im offiziellen Soundblaster-Forum.
