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)

Can anyone please tell me what Anti-Virus & Firewall programs work with Vista Beta 1? I've tried to install Norton Internet Security 2005 (Compatibility Mode) and it dosen't lik it.

Thanks in advance.

SAV 10 works fine, and system restore is still there (although it was one of the first things I tuned off...

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

Nope, Windows Audio stated that it was "Started" :(

      I gave up on browser ad-blocking extensions a few years ago, replaced them with Adguard. Not perfect but overhaul is a nice app that does the job on both Windows and Android with the respective versions.

      "Of course the easiest solution is to switch to uBlock Origin Lite if you want to remain on Chrome, as it is MV3-based, but from our experience, uBO Lite does not seem to be as good as the original non-Lite version" In my experience uBlock Origin Lite does the job for normal everday home users. When they kill that we get to watch Firefox and Brave get a boost in user market share.

      Block by DNS ad blocker! I dare you! I will even layer unlock Origin, on top of my internal DNS, if I need to and I don’t even block ads today (I really should but this type of behavior makes me angry). I suppose I could also just be lazy, and add the flags myself, back to each release (it wouldn’t be that difficult).

      Wonder what MPs have ties to these privacy/verification/data harvesting companies that are going to step in this time. Last time under the Tories half the cabinet had fingers in the pies, heck even the PM and his wife at the time was working for silicon valley, probably made a fortune.
