The current version of this item from Creative Labs is 2.0.7.0

We should be using this one because they have as many bug problems as we have.

I've updated the devpackage, so all new releases should have 2.0.7.

Hello.....Well The OpenAL API will provide a direct path to any native OpenAL driver for delivering premium quality interactive 3D audio for gaming on Windows Vista. Since Windows Vista does not inherit the hardware abstraction layer for audio that was present under previous versions of Windows, including Windows XP, there will be no more hardware acceleration of DirectSound™ 3D.
