Vista - Driver for TerraTec soundcard?

07-19-2006

I have a TerraTec PCI-128 soundcard which uses a chipset from ESS (Solo) and
claims to be compatible with SoundBlaster/Pro.

Vista does not seem to have native support for this card (or even for the
SoundBlaster/Pro).

I tried loading the Win XP drivers, but Vista fails with an error "the
desired file does not exist" (or "the desired file can't be found " or
something similar).

Any ideas?

Have you checked with the manufacturer of the chipset, the card, or
SoundBlaster to see if they have any beta drivers available?

Yes. And they don't...
