Recently decided to drastically improve the sound of his laptop (Acer Aspire 5920 G, Windows Vista 32-bit) in Nix and audio card Sound Blaster Xtreme Audio Notebook from the once-venerable firm CREATIVE. In the process of choosing the Internet in search of estimates of future purchases. On the Internet you can often be found reports of problems in the cards with the operating system Vista, but met more optimistic statements, and I decided to throw. However, as time has shown, perhaps in vain.

With great (no explanation in the manual for the installation of sophisticated, I could not find), through trial and error, on the basis of: sex, finger, the ceiling, I finally managed to get a laptop through the speakers sound card installed. But when, happily chalice hands, I run the player, then immediately read the message: «Creative Media Source 5 Player does not work. The resulting problem has led to the termination of the program. Windows will close the program, and if there is a known way to eliminate the problem, advise you about this ». But not so long ago (at least until you install SP-1), with my first attempts to improve the sound in this unit, it does run (then I could not make the correct sound momentum through the card)!

As an experiment, he took out a new version of the card (the slot in the under 34 mm). The problems started when you installed the first (primary) program; as a result it was not installed completely. The end result remained the same (Creative Media Source Player 5 does not run). In short, at this moment I use a card to play sound on Long columns and to listen to music on the headphones because the sound through the audio card does an order of magnitude better. But still, it reduced the work is not the best investment.

Who will prompt an efficient way out of this situation? How to correctly install and configure this bourgeois monster?
