The only way to get it is using Auto Update, some people have problems using it so I checked my files and found the link.

You sure you have the version (5.12.1.443) correct on that bonehead? I downloaded the patch as well and it came out to 5.12.5.441

Thank you for this news.

I had the audigy2 plat and had constant popping sounds. I bought the Audigy2 ZS thinking that they had fixed the problem but still had the problem. I updated all of the software and still had the problem. Did anyone else have this problem? I have uninstalled all of the drivers and was getting ready to install the old audigy2 that I had and install the drivers from this site to see if this will fix the problem. Will this software at this site work on the audigy2 ZS? I know that it said that it is not fully supported but I hate to uninstall again. I do video editing and this popping noise is driving me nuts. I tried every fix under the sun and nothing.

"Got an issue with the Audigy 2 ZS in UT2004. Basically I get a "popping" sound every few minutes when playing with Hardware 3D sound, whether it be with EAX or not. Switch to regular 3D sound and all seems to be well, except maybe for the performance hit...

I have the latest Audigy 2 ZS drivers installed, which may be my problem. I recently bought this Audigy 2 so I'm fairly new to Creative drivers. But, I installed the drivers and software from the CD first, then updated manually with the 13MB package from Creative's website dated Novermber 2003, then I updated with the 6MB patch dated February 2004.

Perhaps I shouldn't have extracted the drivers from the packages and updated manually through Device Manager, and I was going to try and remove all Creative drivers and reinstall, but I wanted to know if anyone else was having Hardware sound issues in this game."

Any suggestions or tips about this sound card appreicated, I'm new to the Audigy..

Cheers,
Skippy

Like skyline, my driver version shows up as 5.12.5.441 after installing the latest drivers. Is this correct? Oh by the way, I have an Audigy 2 OEM..........

They are the same as ones mentioned in the begining of this thread.

Has anybody ever attempted to install these on an Audigy2 LS? I downloaded the official driver pack for the LS and it looks like it uses an entirely different driver...

EDIT: Actually, looking at pictures of the LS makes me wonder if it's even EMU10K2 based

. Does anyone know where I can find high-res pics of that card? I can't even find a review of it :P

Kalisto · May 20, 2004, 10:28 AM

i have an audigy gamer.which is like the origional audigy and the driver shows as. .443

Rofl
