I HATE Creative. I hate them. I hate them so much! For years I've put up with their sub-standard drivers, lousy support, irritating hiss.. simply because no one else could compete on price, and the only time I did buy a non-Creative card (Turtle Beach) the experience was actually worse!
But I can't take it anymore. I'm running Windows Vista with an Audigy 2 and I just cannot take the shitty support any more. Okay, sure, it's an older card so maybe it's time to move on. Lets check the Xi-Fi release notes... hmmm, last release was in May... doesn't support 6.1 sound yet.
Oh. My. God. Creative could you suck any harder? Your cutting edge card and now, eight months into Vista, and God only knows how long after it was available for public beta, and you still can't even bloody manage 6.1 sound! I HATE YOU SO MUCH!!!
It simply has to go, it has to die a horrible, horrible death and be replaced with something. Something that will minimise the FPS impact; something that supports OpenAL; something with drivers that don't sell my soul to satan AND format my hard drive; something which has realised that Windows Vista (32bit) exists in the marketplace.
Surely that's not too much to ask?
