i am using soundMAX drivers with my ASUS maximus 2 formula board
i tested my headset on XP and it works ... but i cant figure it out on vista...
i have spent about 2 hours flipping through the options menus and nothing seems to be working for me ....

Vista 32 or 64 bit?
And are you using the Soundmax Superbeam array mic that came with the motherboard?

It came with my Crosshair. I just assumed it would come with the other high end boards with the SoundMAX chip in it. I haven't checked to see if yours came with it or not.
Are you using the driver off of the CD or the latest driver from Asus's site? Version 6.10.X.6480.
I had the same issue with Vista64 and my mic. I found that driver version 6.10.1.6270 worked for me where the others did not.
I have since switched over to the Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatal1ty card so can not say how the newest driver works for me.

From your searching for a solution for your problem, you prolly saw all the posts/pages of problems with vista and SoundMAX. XP support is great, but not so much with Vista.
Even though I got mine to eventually work. I had several problems using TeamSpeak and Ventrilo. So I finally said heck with it and got a new sound card.
I personally prefer hardware driven sound cards over software driven sounds cards anyway. So my vote is get you a decent sound card and disable the onboard.
My .02 cents
