Audigy 4 is partially supported (I do not know of any major issues with it).
See the following for the list of kX compatible sound cards:

Preliminary Vista 32 bit support was added as of kX version 3538m. Search the forum for more info (known issues, possible workarounds, etc).

My experience with this driver with a audigy2ZS and windows vista ultimate 32-bit was terrible I used the 3538m driver.

First off, there are alot of sites linking to this driver saying it supports vista after coming to this forum was the first I heard of the driver not really supporting vista.

Now before everyone who's in love with this driver hammers me hear me out. On the innitial install it gives you several prompts as to "not reboot when asked to"So I get to the screen were it says installing drivers do not reboot untill finished then hit ok. It never did give you a prompt saying it was done so I just hit ok after about 10-15 minutes.

After which I had sound, but speaker tests always failed. As discussed in another thread you could set 5.1 surround in the mixer controls, but not in windows control panel. So I gave ventrillo a whirl and the screeching sound about gave me a heart attack! So I figured I would go back to creative current build which by the way worked fine 5.1 surround and everything. I just wanted to give these a whirl because everyone was saying how much more richer and beautiful their sound was.

Upon using the programs un-installer and re-booting my machine I had to install the creative driver twice before I could get sound, and then the speaker test which worked fine with this driver before quit working. Needless to say I had to use system restore to before I deleted creative drivers before I installed 3538m's. In all the interface looks cool, but I wouldn't suggest these for vista yet.
