Läuft bisher durch die manuelle Installation auch gut auf meiner Audigy2ZS.

Habe den Treiber und ALchemy bereits einige Wochen auf Vista64 installiert. Zumindest kann ich bestätigen, dass der 4GB-Bug behoben ist, da das zeitweilige Brummen seither garnicht mehr aufgetaucht ist (vorher durch De- und sofortige Aktivierung im Gerätemanager nur zeitweilig überbrückbar).

Brummen durch vier GB Ram?

Gut zu wissen. Dann setz ich jetzt ganz entspannt nach treiberinstallation meine neuen 2GB ein und es wird super weiterlaufen wie bisher auch 8)

PS Wer sagt was von Creative Treiberproblemen vor allem unter Vista? Meine X-Fi macht klasse Sound, so muss das.
