Does anyone have experience with using Windows XP Home edition with Aureal Vortex 2 sound cards? Also, does the upgrade version do a clean install when upgrading from windows 98 SE
 
MX300 works on XPpro with their drivers. Same should be for Home. Clean install is a clean install, it is not an upgrade, which keeps all the (compatible) programs running after.

it's my life, don't tell me what to do with it...
 
hey another mx-300 user! yay!
i dont know many left these days...
i have a question tho, have you updated the drivers for the card, or are you using the ones that came on the cd?
because sifot sandra reports that my drivers are probable out of date, and i dont know where to get updated ones, since diamond went sonic blue.
anyone know?

I'm having a problem with xp and my aureal card were the back speaker will not work and as far as I can tell since aureal is out of buisness and microsoft wrote the xp drivers theres slim chance of getting a driver that will allow surround sound from an aureal card. If your using just two speakers then your fine.

When I go into a computer store I lose all means of reason for some reason.
 
Yea i have a mx300 too! Same question. Is there a monster driver or using the aureal. Or is any xp drivers for the aureal. The ones with xp are BS.
 
""The ones with xp are BS.""

Well, Fuzz, you have to get off the 'buzz'
The drivers you call "BS" are reference drivers from Aurial (MS does not write drivers for someone’s hardware, ever), and they work fine (at least for my 2:1 speakers), say thanks to them they included them in XP, otherwise we would not enjoy MX300 ever again and should of gone with something else.


it's my life, don't tell me what to do with it...
 
wait, so the xp drivers work for the mx-300?
and how would i go about getting updated drivers for my mx-300 for windows 98 second edition?
diamond doesnt really exist anymore, since they got taken over by sonic blue...
this kinda sucks, considering that the mx-300 sounds really good....
the sound quality of this card is superb...and i dont see a need to upgrade it really..
and i would like to get updated drivers, and make it so that sisoft sandra doesnt tell me to update my drivers...
anyone know where i can get some?

Forgot to mention, their latest 2559 set even has control panel for Win2k, hehe. The procedure of installation is different from mine though. I did not have to do anything (too lazy 😉 I just ran Au30Upgd.exe rebooted and pointed the rest into the same folder. There was one file missing, I pointed into the older version of the driver (2550) and it finished nicely. So, I think this is more info then you hoped for. I might try to run the same drivers for XP tonight, or tomorrow, will let you know how it went, hehe.

Have fun.
