Re-centralised

I have one of these:

that I temporarily inherited from a friend. The system I need to use it on is an XP64 machine. I dutifully go to the Turtle Beach site to look for drivers (as it wasn’t working) and low and behold:

Eh? Are you serious? What exactly does ‘proprietary’ mean in this context?

With that, I will leave you with this (no date on the file):

In the meantime, Turtle Beach, like many other peripherals manufacturers,

is just beginning its work on 64-bit driver support, as resources and

financial constraints permit. Please bear in mind that the current state of

the PC world is that the vast majority of computers for “casual home users”

will be running 32-bit Windows on 32-bit hardware, for some time to come.

Just as happened about over the last 10 years, the point of critical mass

will eventually be reached, and we’ll all begin the journey to a 64-bit

future. Just not right this instant.
