Audigy Advanced MB
Well those of you who want to upgrade to Vista and you have the Sigmatel 92xx audio chip on your system....well im sorry to tell you that you're as far as Vista support goes... dont get me wrong....you will have sound...but it will ONLY be the Sigmatel sound and not the Advanced MB Auidgy enhancement. Creative said they are not going to write an upgrade for this software to work with vista...so if you want better sound you'll have to buy a standalone speaker upgrade and use your express card slot.... guess i have a new glass coaster regarding my Audigy Software CD

You will find quickset in the drivers and dowloads section make sure you in the area for Vista 32 bit.I do not have creative or sigmatel drivers installed just the drivers Vista installs called HD Audio and the quickset. Now instead of having to use the speaker icon in the system tray to check my volume level quickset has a bar that comes on the screen when you use your volume buttons.currysteph

Quickset is a small app that lets you change the color of your LED's on the M1710 laptop as well as giving you faster access to wireless control and other small things that you might otherwise have to access the BIOS for...- Thank you both for your replies. I found the quickset but not compatible for my XPS. Did you remove the SigmaTel and Creative drivers before or after installing Vista? I guess we will have to live with the sound for now. When someone comes out with sound boards compatible with Vista perhaps I will buy one and disable onboard audio.My next step is to install Vista on a second drive and figure out how to set up a dual-boot.Thanks again to both of you.

Only after my upgrade to Vista would work because I was unable to uninstall Creative and Sonic so I did a clean install. Now everything is perfect.DELL-Aaron W

All,
We just put out a post on what we're doing concerning the Audigy Software Edition. Basically the XP version will not work in Vista, a new version will be available for those who purchased systems with Vista factory installed or with the Express Upgrade. Mode details here:

I know this doesn't answer every question, but it's what we have for now.
- Aaron (or any other Dell rep),What are you doing regarding those that purchased the Advanced MB with their system but are not eligible or chose not to do the express upgrade through Dell? I purchased my Inspiron M1710 (top of the line) *weeks* before Vista Express Upgrade was offered. I also required Vista Ultimate for my O/S, of which Dell did not offer an Express Upgrade to anyway. How am I supposed to get my Advanced MB back working now?

I asked for an update yesterday, still waiting on an answer for XP customers with retail versions of Vista.
