I'm a noob with this technical sort of stuff, but I was wondering if the audio processing stuff included in Vista is better or worse than what we had with XP.
Ok, since I am a noob, this is what I have gathered about XP's audio processing--- the k mixer is bad, and it has a degrading effect on the sound unless you decided to take steps to entirely bypass the k mixer. Correct me if I'm wrong about this. So I'm wondering, are there any improvements over XP's k mixer with what comes standard with Vista? |

QUOTE So are you saying that the audio quality that comes standard for XP is superior to what comes standard for Vista? The thing that concerns me about difference between XP and Vista is that Vista seems more DRM prone, which doesn't come as a surprise (that's another topic though and I am not trying to sidetrack the discussion). Does it really matter though honestly? I mean if you have Foobar2000 with kernel streaming you should be all set right? Just my two cents
