Sound Blaster Audigy Driver for vista?
« on: September 12, 2010, 11:29:05 AM »
Does anyone have a direct link to a driver for the "Sound Blaster Audigy, sound card." I have looked everywhere but all I get are broken links. The driver I need is for Vista 32bit. Thankyou!!

BTW, It's just for the audigy, not the audigy2 or anything.

Not sure what you mean by computer brand, but the model of the card is a "Creative Soundblaster Audigy." The model number of the card is SB0570. Thanks!!

Is this some separate sound card, you're trying to install in your computer, or is it the card, which came with your computer?
If the latter, what's your computer brand and model?

It's a system I built myself a while ago. The card does fit in the computer and all, but I just need the vista driver for it.

It must be some ancient card.
If you go here: http://support.creative.com/kb/showarticle.aspx?sid=61105 and click on Audigy SE/LS/Value, which is listed as SB0570 model, the only Windows version it supports is Windows 3.1

Yes it's quite an old card, but on my other computer I had it running on XP. I have found links to the vista driver aswell, but they are all broken links now.

This link might have worked, it's an XP version but do you think it would work with vista? Only problem is when I try to download it takes me to the main page and there is no download ::).

My card looks the same as this, but how can I tell if it's a 5.1 or 7.1 sound card.

I know, but I'm poor. I have just spent £734 on a new computer and I was looking at saving myself some money. Do you need someone to wash your car or anything  :D

Well, if something is not compatible, you can't force it to be compatible.
What's wrong with build-in sound? It must be better, than 20 years old card sound.

The board is an Asus Crosshair Republic of Gamers, I don't think it has an onboard sound.
