Seems like everyone have this issue with their sound cards... I have an Audigy 2 Value with same problem. Weird that theres no driver included in Vista...

Audio support is limited in Beta 1, the audio will be properly supported for most cards in Beta 2 (this is according to Microsoft via the beta newsgroups)

Ive been playing with Vista for the last day with saxondale. (did another all nighter last night), i must say it looks ace with the glass effects, really impressed by the concept.

There are a few of noticeable bugs, nothing that would make me stop using it as a primary os, my wireless lan works (Belkin 802.11b USB Adapter).

Ive yet to test it with a few games and benchmarks

Hey, is anyone else having a problem with svchost.exe running at 95-99%?

start it up and then go for the services, have a look at "Windows Audio" and see if it is "Starting...".

If so it's your audio driver, Now if your running on the nforce 2 chipset install these drivers:-

ftp://download.nvidia.com/Windows/nForce/standalone/6.39/

That's what worked for me. :D

    • Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen expansion to bring snowy region, new updates also coming

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen expansion to bring snowy region, new updates also coming by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Capcom had a surprise waiting for Dragon's Dogma fans today in the Nintendo Direct presentation. The company revealed an expansion for the second installment with a name that should be familiar to series veterans. Coming later this year, Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen is promising a massive new region to explore, new monsters, fresh skills to learn, and more. The studio says players will be heading to the Northern region of the world, named Norgan, to find new secrets about an undying "Fallen Dragon." There will be forgotten relics that the protagonist can find to unlock fresh weapons and skills the expansion is introducing. Players will also be able to find mysterious equipment from a previous Arisen as a part of the expansion, all part of 12 Lost Rites Dungeon Challenges they must complete to gain access. In Neowin's own review, I found Dragon's Dogma 2 to be an impressive RPG when it launched back in 2024, giving the title an 8.5/10 for its class variants, companion system, and immersive exploration. "Once a prosperous region of the kingdom of Vermund, it was abandoned many years ago for reasons unknown," says Capcom about the new region. "Long has it been since any soul traveled its paths. Blanketed in heavy snow, these frigid lands are home to savage hordes and creatures of unbelievable power. Those who are capable of vanquishing such fearsome foes, or those who possess a keen eye for exploration, will find themselves rewarded with powerful relics." Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen expansion launches on October 9, 2026, with a $29.99 price tag. Ahead of the expansion release, Capcom is also planning to release two free updates to the base game. The first will land tomorrow, June 10, bringing more accessible fast travel with an Eternal Ferrystone and other quality-of-life adjustments. The second update will land sometime in August, aiming to improve frame rates, add more save slots, and bring even more community-requested adjustments. This expanded Dark Arisen edition is also launching on the Nintendo Switch 2 on the same day the content comes to PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5.
    • Classic Outlook vs New Outlook — Which one do you prefer and why?

      By _neutrino · Posted

      Classic themes are just the colors on the bar like the olden days, if you use the image themes, it does fancy transparent backgrounds and it makes the elements of the app look like they are transparent bubbles. This sample image shows what it looks like.  
    • Google Chrome is killing all uBlock Origin bypasses, Microsoft Edge, Opera to follow

      Good point, unfortunately. NextDNS has far more filters and workarounds than uBlock, and it's easy to implement.
