My sound card works in both the 32bit and 64bit versions of xp and in the
32biy\t version of win 7 RC. But in win7 64bit when I play a sound file.
It plays for a few seconds then becomes distorted and then the sound
stops. I'm using the latest drivers from creative as of 7/22/2009.

I found this solution in the creative labs forums which worked for me.
Using msconfig limit memory to 4095MB.

when I go back to 4096 \MB the problem returns

Sounds like more bad drivers from Creative (that's half the reason I don't buy anything from them anymore).

I would agree that this is a driver issue, especially since you say that by changing the amount of memory by 1MB, it will work.
That sure sounds like the driver is having issues with memory mgmt.

I got tired of looking for a solution amd I'm using the onboard sound.

So they finally decided not to sue him. Go figure.

Thanks for all the help, but I'm using an x-fi sound card.
Sorry I blew it and didn't sayso in my first post.

[ripken204]

daniel_k makes an x-fi pack as well, i just can't seem to find it at the moment.
it must be somewhere on that creative forum.

[jbm]

I googled daniel_k and x-fi and found a link on a blog last night
Just finished reinstalling the sound card and drivers
and its working now.

Thanks again
