I am looking for a sound card that will play best with Windows 7!
I need a new sound card with solid driver support. What do you guys recommend?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

The Windows 7 Beta version is lacking in drivers in comparisson to the Windows RC (Build 7100) released Friday May 1st to TechNet / MSDN Subscribers and will be released May 5th to the general public.
Please note that installation of the Release Candidate does require a CLEAN install however you will receive much more support with your drivers and devices.

This is information about some of the Sound Blaster cards. I hear that there have been a lot of headaches getting the sound to work in Windows 7. This driver download is reported to be successful.
