How to use Audigy 2 ZS Drivers on Live!/Audigy/Audigy 2

Published by

DriverHeaven have a new guide out! for using Creative's Audigy 2 ZS drivers on your Sound Blaster Live! - Audigy - Audigy 2 sound card! Here's a snip.

For months I have been trying to get the Audigy 2 ZS drivers to work on my Audigy 2 due to its many benefits. It took time and I got it installed, so I have made a guide on how to install the drivers on your Creative Soundblaster Live! or Audigy or Audigy 2. These drivers includes some improvements and definately worth taking a look at.

I installed this on my Audigy 2 on Windows XP Professional, I have never tried it on Live! or Audigy 1 but they have gotten it to work through this method. I have explained how to install it on an Audigy 1/Live!, but until someone explains the method clearly for those cards I cannot gurantee it will work. Due to Live! not having the EAX Advanced HD chip, there are a few limitations such as no time scaling. Audigy 1 does not have DVD audio and depending on your card, it will not support surround modes higher than it can at maximum (i.e. SB Audigy 1 will not support 7.1) and bass boost is disabled on 5.1/6.1 modes, that is when bass redirection comes into play. so dont freak out if one of them is disabled.
