audigy solution

Well for all of those that are just as frustrated as I was here is a bit of relief. I spent 6 hours trying to fight this system and as all great discoveries this just came as if from heaven. I am using an an HP Pavillion and decided to install an Audigy 2 Value soundcard. At first after finishing my installation of Vista 64 it notified me that there was no driver for my sound card. I ran the Vista 64 and it did not complete saying that my software was not supported by it. After a while I diecided to see if I coul reinstall the XP 64 driver and all went great with the exeption that there was no sound coming out of it in spite of the device driver saying that all laws wll. Frustrated I decided to re-install the Vista 64 driver and after two attempts voila!! Sound was coming out of it as if by a miracle. …old windows theme I must warn you! The sound is of good quality. But there is only one thing and that is my microphone is not working right. I want to take advantage of the speech recognition software built in. It worked for me before I hope they have not messed with it too much I hope that this helps some people out there. Now if I could figure out how to import my Outlook contacts, the import feature is not working for me.
