Windows _never_ worked well with it. A reboot may or may not have my sound card undetected due to some bug, I think it was related to their PlugNPlay, but I don't recall.
Until they completely dropped support for it, so then I just flat couldn't use it. And Linux support for it never really came around (maybe now? no idea).
So my policy now is fuck Creative. I purchased good money for a top-of-the-line sound card that never worked well and rather than fixing it they dropped support for the very next version of Windows.
I just use my motherboard audio because I don't have to deal with that shit and if I do ever purchase another separate soundcard it sure as shit won't be Creative.
