Sound On Vista?

Wrong. Various manufacturers cannot supply drivers which will work flawlessly on the platform provided by Vista.

Their drivers don't even work flawlessly on Windows XP :p

But that statement is mostly incorrect, if it were true we wouldn't be seeing any drivers from competing companies...

That would be the manufacturer's fault for not being able to get their hardware to work correctly, not being able to write proper drivers. Since many companies are able to.

The blame is not ms if some companies are able to provide proper drivers but others aren't.

I tend to disagree. The blame lies with m$, for having changed a whole fundamental structure upon which many companies have built their drivers. Windows might be a flawed operating system, but in it's own right it had certain things working in it which people relied on. The fact is that now with Vista there have come some problems which manufacturers are STILL trying to sort out.

And some manufacturer's have fixed those issue with their drivers so hence it's not ms's fault that others haven't . If some can get proper drivers out there's no reason that others can't.

If you mean excluding:
staff costs
other product obligations
new product development
insufficient specs
...

yeah, no reason.

didnt see companies complaining when they had to develop xp drivers from 98

so whats your saying moeder is we all should have just stayed with windows 98 so companies did not have to pay ppl to make new drivers

this is an odd way of thinking, if this how linux ppl think no wonder its taken them so long to get a decent user friendly OS going

move with the times, microsoft cannot be held back because companies cannot make drivers

funny how 99% of hardware has vista drivers but when one company cannot make them its MS's fault

Just where did you pull that 99% from?
Less than 50% is my gut feel from the problems I have had.

As to the quip on Linux - well, when I upgraded my Ubuntu - guess what? All my drivers STILL worked. Funny old world. Its a little something called "backward compatibility".
 
My Vista sound worked about 5 minutes after I installed Vista..it went and got the drivers by itself...:confused: I also went and installed the Vista/x64 drivers pooky spoke of so I could get the Realtek sound manager and the plug in detection doodad...

I LoL at people with generic/popular hardware who have driver issues!

Pretty sure the other companies who have working vista drivers also have these issues. But they still managed to provide proper vista drivers.
