Win7 Ultimate x64 and sound cards - did something work?

Zogatn · 19 Apr 2010

Hi,
I am a member since 2 months Windows 7 Ultimate x64, about 2 weeks ago, I bought sound card Asus Xonar DX PCI-E, but after continuing problems and lack of support from Asus (Asus thank you, I had to reinstall the system 3 times within 2 weeks

) Now I wonder what card to buy would not lose again.

I thought the Auzen sound card, I read the description that has drivers for Windows 7 x64, maybe someone has this card and knows how it works?

Models of sound cards:
Auzen X-Fi Prelude 7.1 - Auzentech, Inc. Sound Cards. Audio You Can Believe In. World First soundcards for Music, HTPC, and Gaming.
Auzen X-Fi Bravura - Auzen X-Fi Bravura from Auzentech, Inc. : World First soundcards for Music, HTPC, and Gaming.
Auzen X-Fi™ Forte 7.1 - Auzentech, Inc. X-Fi Forte PCI-Express Soundcard : World First soundcards for Music, HTPC, and Gaming

Maybe someone have other proposition ?

I will be grateful for the help

Best regards

If you're looking for the best sound quality, you're better off going for a HT | OMEGA, Sound Blaster or M-AUDIO card. They all have decent 7 support, but it's best to check before hand. I've heard nothing about Auzen and very little about Asus cards.

Any of the Sound Blaster cards should work, some people don't like Sound Blaster but they have decent support. Just make sure the drivers are there before purchase via Creative Labs Online Store

about Creative cards, i see problems in users with drivers with Win 7 x64, just put in google "problem creative win 7 x64" and it's horor, and support... well ... no comment

EDIT:
for other, if some one search Sound card compatible with Windows 7 x64, chek this site

Best choice Sound Card is with logo Microsoft
