Windows Vista USB audio driver question

I have a JVC receiver hooked up to my pc via usb. It installs a USB audio driver in the Windows XP system when I turn on the receiver. This receiver was made before the release of Vista, so I know it doesn't support vista. Does vista have some kind of emulator for Windows Xp audio?

Windows Vista USB audio driver question

Reply #1 –
Darin, from the research I've done, JVC's USB audio driver for their receivers only work on Windows 2000/XP systems.

They haven't released a driver for Vista, and MicroSoft hasn't made one available either.

Some people have reported getting them to work partially with Vista by simply plugging them into the USB port of a Vista system, but they can only get standard L/R stereo audio.  5.1 to 7.1 audio doesn't work when used with a Vista system.

Looks like a specific USB audio driver is required to get the full audio capabilities under Vista.
