Re: Petition to boycott Creative!

I had Mic problems with 2 Creative Soundcards, that's when i used the mic alot, anyways i'd go to use it, and it didn't work, i'd call Tech support, and they would refuse to help, finally called again, and demanded some help, even lied and said it was not past 90 day purchase, of course they still wouldn't help, first card it happened on was an SB Audigy 2 Platinum, Second Card SB Live 24 card.

What i never understood is why a Mic port went, when i wasn't using it every minute, but i swear had the mic plugged into right port, had it unmuted, and it still wouldn't work in any program. That's when i stopped buying Creative soundcards, been using Onboard sound for months. I posted countless messages in there forums, and didn't get any help. Infact let me goto there forum at there site, and see if i can find one of my old posts, which i'll copy and post here(or a little of it)

"HEY

Mic won't work in rear or front of my Audigy 2 Platinum, what in the world am I suppose to do to get it working huh? I want it working as soon as possible, or I want a check for $500 dollars to cover the cost of a new PC case so I can use my Onboard sound, and junk this Piece of Junk, if I have to I will call Creative support daily until I get something done about this.

I WANT MY MIC WORKING AS SOON AS POSSIBlE, DO YOU HEAR ME. SOMEONE REPLY__URGENT--wanted to make something for Girlfriend, and I don't have much time to do that, but I want my mic working as soon as possible, or this will be a problem that you'll never hear the end of, I swear, I will keep it up daily until I get this problem fixed I guarantee it."

Creative Forum Response:
"Bikeman,

Normally I would suggest contacting support for an RMA at this point, as it sounds like you card itself has a problem (that or you have a hardware conflict that has a symptom that I haven't seen before); however you sound intent on using onboard audio so I suppose that isn't an option you are considering.

Since you had already decided that you weren't going to work with the Audigy 2, I don't understand why you would make this post with the threat to keep coming back until the problem was solved. If you have no intention of trying to solve it, then it would seem kind of a pointless request. Still, my suggestion is to contact support to get an RMA for the card.
