Heh, that signature is no longer my system. I tried to update it awhile back
and it didn't take.
Anyway, if you go to the Turtle Beach support website you'll find the latest
FAQ text file to download from the Santa Cruz support files section. That
FAQ suggests having an XP partition visable to the Vista partiton. You
install the 4193 setup on Vista, then update the driver from device manager
to the 4161s signed driver that is installed on the XP partition in the Santa
Cruz program files folder. I think it's in the Drivers\WDM folder. They say
that works. You just need the 4161s driver installed on XP first.
Personally, I don't see why you couldn't just turn off driver signing
temporarilly and keep the 4193's. You probably need to disable UAC too.
Heh, Newer soundcards are having similar driver difficulties on Vista, so I
wouldn't be so high and mighty. The Santa Cruz is still a great card. Not
everyone needs EAX 3 and 4. 16 bit sound is still fine for DVD's, CD's, and
mp3's.
