hi, im using sounblaster live 24bit external sound card on win7 7048 x86, and i can say that with these USB_W7DRVBETA_US_1_01_0091 drivers i cant njoy music as long as i want, couse after a while it starts to crackle on my 5.1 system. on x64 win 7 7000 i cant even install any of the drivers couse then i get lost of BSODs(maybe its because i tried 3 different versions of drivers). so i guess it's up to creative to fix that
