Boedt Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Hi all, i read that there are some ppl having a XFi and Win7 but no one with a Audigy 2 ZS, or is there someone, cause i got a problem. I installed the newest driver (win vista) , the sound drivers were installed sucesfully, but i dont have any sound, just via my USB Headset.. is there anyone with a ZS and 5.1 Sound or 2.1 Sound working? greetz, boedt Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/715594-windows-7-and-audigy-2-zs/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercellus Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Make sure you have the settings configured correctly in the sound mixer and that the right output device is selected. Beyond that, I'm going to be surprised if you get that Audigy working correctly under Windows 7 as Creative Labs drags their feet far, far behind.

ToneKnee Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 My ZS card went a little funny at first, but it's working fine now. Try using the Kx Project drivers (google it), and they only work under 32bit windows and not x64.

Raikou Tch Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 My friend said he got his drivers from Windows Update, and he has an A2ZS. Maybe try finding drivers online with the automatic driver search?

Denis W. Veteran Posted December 31, 2008 Veteran Share Posted December 31, 2008 The drivers installed by Windows Update for an Audigy 2 ZS are old. I would install the (in)famous 2.15.0004EQ modded drivers by daniel_k. Since they've been removed from the net, try this link. They will install properly, just don't expect CMSS to work.

ToneKnee Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 you can reverse the speakers in KX control panel Control Panel didn't work for me, all you need to do is either, set a new 'Default' device in the sound control panel which is connected to your front speakers, or change your wires at the back of the card to a different port. the KX team decided to swap the front and rear audio ports because the rear port has reduced noise. Also, installing them directly from the installer didn't work properly, I ended up just installing the drivers manually through the device manager.

soulburner Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 I installed the latest version from Creative's site with no problems. I don't have the ZS version, just the standard Audigy 2. The only problems I encountered are: - Creative Audio Console fails to set 5.1 speakers, but doing so in the Playback Devices panel worked fine - strange audio distortion occurs every few seconds. Temporarily set the default sampling rate to 96kHz and it's okay now I wonder how soon, if at all, will Creative release drivers for 7 :p Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/715594-windows-7-and-audigy-2-zs/#findComment-590342452 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boedt Posted December 31, 2008 Author Share Posted December 31, 2008 @neo thx for your reply, the port change would work i think.. but i installed the driver rm recomendet, and got a blue screen ;P i had to recover the Win7 installation but now everything works fine ;) so we can consider this as resolved, thanks all :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/715594-windows-7-and-audigy-2-zs/#findComment-590342826 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astra.Xtreme Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 (edited) I've never been able to get surround sound to work on my 5.1 speakers on Audigy 2 ZS, but I finally figured it out and I thought I'd share. I'm also using the W7 Beta btw. Apparently Creative removes the surround sound option from their drivers, but some guy named Daniel K put the feature back in. The Driver version is: v2.15.0004EQ The drivers are kind of hard to come by, but I think they are on a few of the public torrent sites. It also comes with the Audio Console and all the other tools that Creative doesn't seem to offer anymore. It's sad that I've had the Audigy 2 ZS card since it came out and first have surround working now. :s Good luck and enjoy :) Edited January 11, 2009 by Escalade_GT Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/715594-windows-7-and-audigy-2-zs/#findComment-590404164 Share on other sites More sharing options...
