Hello thewink,
This is always going to be a problem with older hardware as the manufacturers just don't see the point of releasing new driversYou might be better off getting a new card.
Try this link; http://www.xpvistasite.com/gamesurro...i_7.1_3732.htm
Pooch
thanks for the reply pooch, never thought that would be a problem since i have never had a problem with that sound hard
im gonna try to talk my parents into buying me a newer sound card if the driver from xpvistasite wont work
If you haven't already solved this problem, I had a similar thing with my Gamesurround Fortissimo II card. I've just got it working by first installing the vista/xp drivers from the hercules website. Then I went in to device manager (right click computer->manage) and found the sound card (it may have been called unknown device), right clicked on that and chose update drivers and then pointed the wizard to the folder :
C:\Program Files\Hercules\Audio\Crystal Sound cards
It successfully installed the drivers and now I have sound.
