Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I left Creative's sound blaster USB because they did not support Vista; I searched Amazon and found The Diamond by searching for "Vista sound Cards", I ordered it overnight, it arrived, but the software did not work with Vista although the generic windows driver does.
I called Diamond, because the card inside said "Do not return to vendor call us first." I did and was told, impatiently, that the box did not say Vista and that I should return it to Amazon.
So I am going to keep it, it does work, where the Creative did not. I received about half of what I thought I had bought.
Amazon showed this under a Vista search, Diamond was rude. The hassel of returning it and starting over, is too much.
So Cavet Emptor - be careful, make sure it is what you want, if it does not say Vista do not buy it no matter what the website claims.
Diamond has performed well in the past.
And, yes, I should have been more careful, I was too easily misled, by my pressing need for sound, and my desire to get on with it.
