Does no-one know how to look for a driver themselves?? How is ppl can find this site but not use Google or such to find the right driver or answers??
a) If on an OEM machine, look to OEM site for a Vista audio driver if no Win7 drivers published (these will at least get you by till you track down something more suitable).
b) If you know the manufacturer and model of your sound card, why is it so difficult to track down a driver (or see if no Win7 driver exists)? You may have to dig a little, but you may be surprised what you turn up in the process.
In reference to the second point, sometimes it is the case where no Win7/Vista drivers exist - especially in the case of many Creative-based cards... their hardware may be great, but their support cycle is dismal! Sometimes there simply is no driver available which is compatible with Win7 (or Vista for that matter).
Also, simply telling us you are on Win7 is not enough. For example, a driver may be available that will work in 32-bit Win7, but never released in 64-bit format. A x86 (32-bit) driver will not install/function in x64 Windows, so you need to be specific.
