I fail to understand why Microsoft releases an OS that cannot handle current standards of sound?Or why does Aces make a flight simulator that cannot handle sound in Vista? I use an audio application, Cubase4, with this Audigy 2Z in Vista32 and have not encountered a single stutter even with a really full load of fifteen virtual instruments all using my soundcard at the same time: it is smooth as can be with very low latency. Now why cant Aces FSX handle souond? Seems ironicMy sound stutters quite a lot while fyingallenE6600 quad2G RAM8600GTSAudigy 2Z with Vista driversVista 32

Sound is perfect here in FSX with onboard sound use.

I had the same problem with Vista 32 using the 158.18 drivers but it cleared up after installing 162.22. I also installed the latest Directx update and sound card drivers. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...&displaylang=en

yesI was about to think of that myself lolOH darn!! The dirvers... I'll give it a try...allen

Well I'm some glad I thought of that.Installed the 163.69 drivers and updated the dxNow a simple flight from Sault Ste Marie towards Toronto city:fps varies from 30 to 50+ alwaysand not a single burp from the soundcard so far... 5 minutes into flightAutogen at dense, using UTX for Canada and USA with XClassUS and XClassCA ahead of those, ASX too. Great sight seeing. Some AI (50% General aviation ...no Instr)fps at altitude mostly 40-50 range.allenP.S (thanks northtexas....)and why do always feel so stupid to complain?
