Hi!

I'm using Vista 5492 and I noticed that the APO effects tab is gone when I
run a USB audio device on the default MS drivers. The tabs were still around
in 5483. Is this a bug? or do I need to do anything to get the APO effect
tab to load? Thanks

Hello,

Unfortunately, Vista 5492 was only released to a very select group of
entities, so the chances of you finding someone on this newsgroup who can
answer your question is remote.

If you think it could be a bug, I would suggest bugging it by downloading
the problem reporting tool available from the feedback icon on your desktop.

Where did you get 5492? Is it that bad that you post this news from XP? :))

How do you figure that? It is well known that TAP exists and is on a later
build than the CPP or Technical beta program. Simply stating the build
number in use is no violation of any NDA I am aware of. In fact, in problem
resolution (or confirming/recreating a problem) knowing the build number is
often critical to verify a bug or reappearance of a bug that may have been
fixed in a previous build.

TAP has an NDA; MVPs have an agreement; Vista TBT does not have an NDA but
they have theoretical boundaries, and Softie Softs have been blogging

Windows Vista: A falling house of cards, or a miracle sitting on quicksand?
"Hi everyone, hope you are all well! Better get a drink because this post
could take a while to read [:P]

I've kept my mouth shut about this now for a while and this post is long
over-due. Robert posted about why Windows Vista needs a Beta 3, Paul
Thurrott and Brad Wardell have done the same, and now, I'm going to take a
crack at it.

Is Windows Vista a falling house of cards? In my opinion, no. While there
are still a lot of annoyances in Windows Vista that have yet to be fixed
(the inconsistancy with User Account Control prompts, etc) I feel that this
release of Windows may very well turn out to be the best yet. Performance is
slowly getting better with each interim build that we see, and more fit and
finish is being done now that we are on the home stretch of delivering this
product.

Windows Vista includes many improvements over its predecessor, Windows XP.
For instance: Windows Photo Gallery, Windows DVD Maker, Windows Calendar,
Windows Meeting Space, BitLocker Drive Encryption, and that's just to name a
few. There are alot of things in Windows Vista that add to the overall user
experience, which is great... which brings me to my second point.

Hardware Vendors need to get off their proverbial behinds and start writing
decent drivers for Windows Vista. We're on the home stretch here, we're
nearing the release candidate stages, and yet there aren't many decent
drivers for Windows Vista. Hello, no wonder my user experience flippin'
SUCKS in Windows Vista when half my hardware don't work! Hey, Creative Labs,
I'm talking to you!

Here's how my testing regime has been on my primary desktop machine now ever
since oh, say, Build 5270:

1.. Install the latest build from Microsoft Connect.
2.. Install drivers & applications
3.. Notice that my Creative Sound Blaster X-FI fails to properly work (no
microphone and some of the worst sound quality I've ever heard)
4.. Fall back to onboard audio only to have that suck even more so than
the Creative SB X-Fi (SoundMAX, you suck.)
5.. Test the operating system, file bug reports, and fall back to Windows
XP where my drivers actually WORK.
Frustrating. Even more so when the first time Windows Vista is installed,
the Creative Sound Blaster X-FI drivers (the driver package for either XP or
Vista, doesn't matter) won't install. They either randomly fail, crash, or
time out. Yet after a reinstall, they install perfectly... only to have the
sound cut out and randomly die sometimes. Grr.

Just my 2 cents... there... I'm done."

Why in the world wouldn't you

1) Ask about this on your TAP private groups?
2) Bug it throught TAP
3) Call your TAP Redmond Scout Leader who is assinged to you or Den Mommie
for your TAP area?

This is a public newsgroup for people so unwashed we don't even know where
Redmond is or who makes Windoz. Of course they don't even know where
intuitive ever was so...

Meanwhile back at the Redmond Asylum the ground swell and deluge of MVPs and
well known Bloggers and Vistanistas contines to tell them to cease and
disist from pushing a Winter 2006 piece of crap out the ole door:

Does mentioning that TAP which is publicly discussed in detail all over the
web has a build up the terrorist threat level? Is Karl Rove directing these
tap "leaks" LOL

Everytime TAP or anyone else gets a build it's all over the place. There
are reviews on the builds all over the place. I think it's tied in to
Bush>Cheney>Rove>Libby and will come out at the Libby trial.

I have gotten better at cleaning them. But I've never had the courage to
follow the excellent Thompson and Thompson husband and wife couple who write
the great O'Reilly HDW/Repairing and Upgrading PC books who recommend
using the dishwasher and drying at 150 degrees.

Congratulation to the Bush adminstration who pushed to arrest suspects in
the British "hijacking" early to help in the Conneticut primaries. Now much
of the evidence is evaporating and the Brits are concerned they may not have
enough evidence to prevail in prosecutions. Nice going Cheney and puppy dog
Bush. Many had no passports and couldn't have gotten on the plane. The
Brits have a terrible conviction rate in their terrorist cases. No evidence
is emerging that any explosive material was gotten together and tested.
