Be careful with the drivers you choose for your Audigy. I have what was the top-of-the-line when I purchased it, the Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro. Installing the very latest drivers earlier this year disabled many of its advanced features under Win XP Pro. (I do not plan to try it with Vista.) The latest drivers with which everything worked were from 2006.

In order to get the best functionality and sound, you may want to consider a new sound card, while leaving the Audigy in an older machine.

For the record, I have Vista x64 on a brand-new laptop. This is introducing plenty of issues on its own, such as no DXi synth working so far except for Coyote Forte, which I will not be able to afford once the demo expires.
