    Has anyone stopped the screech of death by installing any of the later drivers?

     

    I still have it but it is quite infrequent but just when you think it is safe to go into the water....

    Dell X-FI owners  in the "Re: X-FI Screech Of Death"  thread say there is no fix or solution with the latest creative official or previous Beta driver , still Screech  therefore i am doubtfull the latest Beta Drive is a solution either .

    please read the last post at this thread "Re: Dell XPS 420 X-FI Screech" , u could ask for a refund but i doubt Dell  will give , this latest beta did not solve my screech ,  had screech with half hour with the new beta, im back with my Asus sound card .

    Mine is screeching on a more frequent basis now and machine is only a fortnight old. Why are Dell still offering this soundcard if it is not compatible with Vista?

     

    Is it worth me going back to dell for a refund on the sound card as it was a cost upgrade?
