I found some user community supported drivers which worked fine 95% of the time. But issues started to appear and eventually Vent wouldn't work with Steam or any other game, and I would blue screen more often than I'd like.
The creative labs official drivers were of no help and actually caused several blue screens that almost required an entire OS rebuild.
I started using on board sound that required no drivers from me (windows 7 had them) and i've been happy since then.
