HELP....need a good sound card that works with Windows 7 64 bit

I've searched the internet and I'm seeing that folks are struggling with getting sound cards to work with Windows 7 (particularly the 64 bit systems). I know there are stability issues with the 64 bit system but I'm looking to install a decent sound card to improve stereo sound from my HP Pavilion (h8-1260t). The onboard sound is OK, but I'm looking for higher fidelity and the shortcomings of the stock sound chip is noticeable when played through my hi fi system. Don't really need 'surround sound' (I'm not a gamer) but I'm assuming any card that comes with this feature will also produce a quality stereo signal. I also like to archive music from steaming sources and have found a significant loss of sound quality once the track is saved. I'm assuming a good sound card will help with this. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Spauld, welcome to the forum.
I suggest finding a sound card that you like and contacting the manufacturer's Customer Service to assure its compatibility with Win7 64-bit. They are the experts on their products. While I am not a fan of dedicated sound cards because their drivers are conflict prone, I would buy a Creative Soundblaster. They have been proven over time.

External sound cards that work with the

Does any one know if creative have any or know of any.
Thanks

Hehe, maybe.
Well, whichever it is I strongly insist that Creative starts working on Macintosh drivers and that Apple makes Creative products available for their computers. It is really not fair that only PC notebooks have the best audio available, if I could I would buy another external card for my PowerBook, but unfortunetly there are none in my country that are Mac compatible. Most people don't care about the sound on their laptop, but I do and I'm sure I'm not the only one.
So please, anyone... out there...
...start working on some drivers for Creative cards (both external and PCMCIA), I'm sure that Apple users will appreciate it.
My hope won't die, I believe in Creative.

What does that mean?
Have you removed the sound card driver via control panel and let Win7 reinstall?

HT4990 is there a version of cards that works with ios5.1.1

is there a version of cards that works with ios 5.1.1

http://www.stuffit.com/mac/expander/
I'm pretty certain that I got my version of stuffit, which has worked excellently on my Intel MBP, from that site. I downloaded it around the time when I first got the laptop, so I'm pretty sure that's the site.
If it's not let me know and I can give you links to a different site, or I can just e-mail you the installer file directly.
If it doesn't work for any other reason, or does the encrypted thing that you stated, let me know I'll look into it.

I would like to buy a HP printer that works with Windows 8 preview.

Understand that HP will not release drivers for existing printers until August at earliest and that is OK....I have 3 HP Laserjet 1020s that have been great and will buy a new HP printer if it will work now with Windows 8 preview. Any suggestions or any fixes/patches for 1020 that work. Also interested in any non-HP printers that work with Windows 8 preview? Prefer HP but will buy first printer that works from any mfg. as I would like to give Windows 8 a real try. Believe HP is missing boat by not putting a patch out for some of their printers as soon as possible as I am not the only HP user looking to buy any printer that works with Windows 8.

An SCSI card that works with tiger?

I have aquired a Sony SDX S500C AIT-2 drive that I wish to use with my quicksilver G4 server. I need an Ultra wide SCSI card that will work with tiger. I thought this wouldn't be a problem, but after picking up the drive for cheap on eBay it now looks really hard to find anything that works with tiger for less than $400. Does anyone have any experience of an SCSI setup that actually works? The Initio Miles 9100UW looks promising, but according to the Dantz site it is not supported by retrospect, but I assume this doesn't necessarily mean that it doesn't work...
Looking forward to hearing your experiences.

Cards from ATTO work with OS X, and are highly reliable.

Graphics cards that work with a 945p neo3

Hello All,
I'm wanting to upgrade my graphics card (radeonx1600 pro) and wanted to know what kind of modern video cards will work with my board. I have a 500w PSU and was looking at some Radeon 5770, 4870, Nvida 9800, 250.
Thanks!

More info on that PSU please. 500W doesn't mean much, it's the +12V amps that you need to be concerned with. Brand, model and +12V amps for that PSU? As for any of the other cards listed you would need at the very least a quality single +12V rail PSU such as Corsair VX450W +12V~33A. Preferably a VX550 +12V~41A.
One thing I can say for sure is avoid a 5770 of any brand, there has been too many compatibility problems on many different MB's with that model.
What it comes down to is you can use most any VGA in your budget as long as the PSU is up to the task.

Problem vith T61 sound card not regocnized with Windows 7 ultimate

When I try to Install SoundMax, I get the dreaded "The audio driver files do not support your computer hardware" error
I have found other threads with Windows XP but haven't found any with Windows 7
Is there a way to force to install these drivers? or can it be accounted as hardware error?
Windows itself also does not recognize the sound card in any way.
All the updates have been performed and absolutely no hint of available sound card. (Except fot the bluetooth external audio controller)

http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-73568
is this the driver that you're trying to install? does your sound device show up in device manager? is there a yellow tag on it? if this is the one you're trying to install and it won't did you try to manually update the driver from device manager. don't let windows find the driver. point the update to the folder where the driver is.

Trying to get my sound card to work with ArchLinux

Okay, let me tell you my problem. I'm still somewhat of a noob when it comes to linux so don't be hard on me . And, yes that's half of my problem, anyways I've got a sound card called the Soundblaster X-FI USB and I've been trying it to get it to work with the alsaconf command which hasn't worked of course Let me point out that whenever I use my backup flashdrive with PuppyLinux it the Alsaconf inside of it see's the card that I'm using and automatically sets it up.. Plus whenever I type the ' cat /proc/asound/cards ' command I get this..
0 [Intel ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel
HDA Intel at 0xefffc000 irq 21
1 [S51 ]: USB-Audio - SB X-Fi Surround 5.1
Creative Technology SB X-Fi Surround 5.1 at usb-0000:00:1d.2-2, full speed
*(The first one being my dead onboard audio)
So please help me out here I really want to have sound again and hey maybe I'll learn something new about linux!

there's some experimental driver that maybe makes it work with alsa, see here:
http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=n … &px=Njc3NQ
My card is a USB which isn't compatible with the driver that they include. So no help there ;(. I've loaded Ubuntu recently and it has worked perfectly with my soundcard (Creative X-FI USB Surround 5.1) right out of the box. I personally think there has to be a way to get it to work in Archlinux since it worked in Ubuntu...
Although. I suppose I could just use Ubuntu but I'm more of a fan of Arch. So does anyone have any idea what Ubuntu used as in drivers wise to get my card to work in linux??

Need USB Wi-fi Card that works with G4 PowerBook on 10.4.8 & 10.5

I have a 12" Powerbook G4, 1.5 Ghz model.
The airport in the machine seems to dislike the Cisco wireless access points on my college campus.
All of the access points show up both in the Airport icon, and in iStumbler, however, i can never connect to them.
A fix for this would be most helpful, but I'll also settle for someone that can tell me of a USB Wi-fi card (preferably 802.11G, but i'll settle for B) that will work with my system.
Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple discussions.
Asides from the end result of not being able to connect, what happens? When you try to connect, are there any system messages?
If you google 'usb wireless adapter mac' you'll find a number of useful references, should you want to go down that path.
As an aside, OS X Leopard, or 10.5, won't be released until later in the year, so users here can't tell you what works, or doesn't work, with it.

Are there any good fax programs that work with Efax besides Efax Messenger

I just signed up for a free months trial of Efax. I downloaded the Efax Messenger program which seems to work well except for the fact that it does not save any fax packages (on my computer) that I send out. This is an important needed feature. If I send out a package of 5 or 6 files to someone I need to be able to look up what I've sent them. The only way I can do this is to put all the files in a folder named for that particular fax, then put that folder in a second folder that is labeled faxes, then fax the files from the folder by Efax. Quite a process. I called Efax and was told that this feature was only available for a Windows Machine (Efax, catch up!)
Are there any other programs that are easy to use and at least as good as the Efax Messenger that have that feature?
We are traveling in a sailboat, don't have a land line. We only have a wifi internet connection when they are available, (internet cafes, etc.) or sometimes at anchor using long range wifi. I don't have the luxury of going online to check faxes all the time, hence the necessity of having them on the computer.
Any help appreciated.
Dan

Just to be clear, though, reducing the resolution of an LCD can have a negative effect on image quality. LCDs have an optimal "native" resolution and setting the resolution below that native level results in a poorer quality image.
Leopard claims "resolution independence" - I have not tried it yet, but if you read the description of this feature, you will note that it applies to the user interface elements. Granted, that's often what you notice the most (i.e. the problem with reducing the resolution below native for an LCD is that the text in Finder, all of the menu bar items, etc., looks "fuzzy"). By appropriately scaling the UI elements, Leopard overcomes the limitation. But the "fuzzyness" will still apply to non-UI things that are displayed - i.e. images. Since based on your posts you will be working with images primarily, high-res vs. standard is still a choice I'd recommend considering carefully, and ideally by trying them both side-by-side.
Ps. Thanks for awarding points!

Any PCIe USB cards that work with Yosemite?

I have a late 2012 MacPro currently running OSX 10.10 (Yosemite). I search for a PCIe card with a minimum of 4 USB ports what will work with this system (most I've found online so far indicate "incompatible with Yosemite"). Anyone aware of a card out there that does work? I am not connecting hard drives to the card so speed is not an issue (the card could be USB 2 or 3).
Thanks,
Carl

I've been using one of these
<http://www.sonnettech.com/product/allegro_express_usb.html>
for years in my 2008 Mac Pro. USB 2.0
Works fine with Yosemite.
(Don't worry about the big power connector on the card. It's not used for a Mac.)

Audio Science ASI5111 Sound Card not working with Aud. 3 Multi-track

I am using an Audio Science ASI 5111 Sound Card. I also used Audi
tion 3.0.1 on Windows 7.
The program suddenly freezes when using the ASI driver (not Audition driver) in Multi-track mode.
At times I get the R6025 error

Audio Science is aware of the issue. It has been solved by going back to an older driver. 3.12.07

I don't know anyone selling new cards for this system, here's some on eBay.
Check for compatibility with your specific system...
