**Announcement
Since I haven't had the time or motivation to go and setup some type of FTP for the ISO, I say it is better to go follow classic_leon's guide on how to mod it to an Audigy 4 Pro. Its pretty much the same thing and the drivers are newer. Give it a look over here:
Moddified Audigy 4 Pro ISO is out! Download is now available. I may one day make a clear guide like this for it as well.
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. These do not work for Extigy and have not been attempted on NX cards, you may try them but may not work due to them being USB cards. 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. People have also reported some issues installing it on the Audigy LS card. 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.
**I nor DriverHeaven hold any responsibility if anything should happen. Your are doing this at your own risk, back-up your files, create a system restore point and read everything carefully. Feel free to discuss any problems in
this thread as many other people are disucssing these drivers there as well.
What you will need:
Audigy 2 ZS driver CD
Link for the 4 disk version (rar format),
the download links are screwy and very slow at times. The 4 files should be relatively large in size about 90 MB or more each, disk 4 may differ slightly but still would be 80MB+. The downloads do cancel or restart, that's why a download manager (such as Download Accelerator Plus) would help speed things up and keep it stable. Make sure they are absolutely 100% complete and download each one by one for a safe download. I apologize for the bad links, I am trying to get someone else to host this fairly large package. If you can please PM me.
4 Disk version

http://club.hitel.net/Club/ClubUser...8054_a2zs-i.r00
http://club.hitel.net/Club/ClubUser...7743_a2zs-i.r01
http://club.hitel.net/Club/ClubUser...3968_a2zs-i.r02
or if those do not work,
THEN try these:
ISO version(special thanks to DVDKingdom) and 1 disk version (special thanks to BONEHEAD)
http://file.mydrivers.com/sound/A2zsDrvDisc.ISO
ftp://BONEHEAD:test@66.25.208.140/Audig2%20ZS.rar*DOWN
You do need both the 4 disk and 1 disk version of the Audigy 2 ZS CD, just different mirrors.

WinRAR
WinRAR is used to extract many common formats (i.e. zip, rar, tar, ace), always is handy and should be left on your computer for any use.

Creative Driver/Software Updates for Audigy 2 ZS
Visit
http://www.creative.com and download all driver updates (necessary ones like the EAX 4 update) and software updates are optional (such as the EAX console) from any region.
Hidden Creative Audio Control Panel (optional)
Since many people HATE the creative control panels, creative has hidden one to really piss you off! In addtiona, it is unified and has almost all neccessary options. Special thanks to TIRO for telling me how to make the control panel link. I have zipped it for everyone, if anyone can host this tiny file please tell me.

Uninstall ALL SOUND BLASTER DRIVERS AND SOFTWARE BEFORE CONTINUING. Restart(s) are required after un-installation. During driver updates, restarts are required, not the applications like THX console or EAX console.
Instructions:
1. Download the 4 disk version as listed above or download the whole CD. Use WinRAR to extract the disks by right clicking the first disk (106431634152_a2zs-i.rar) and going “extract files…”. Select the directory to wish you want it to extract to, once the file has finished extracting, you will be prompted for the other disks in order (2, 3, 4). If you have the ISO version (or any version where all the files are in 1 package), a simple extract to a directory should do the trick.
2. When the whole CD is extracted, run the CTCOMP.exe. It will ask you Audigy 2 CD directory is, this where your patch is to be applied. Apply it to your CD’s folder in /Audio/Setup folder, for example: “F:\Audio\Setup” is where my driver CD is located so I chose that as where it should be applied. Your directory may differ because it may be on your C: drive or desktop.

3. To being the install, run the START.exe in driver CD folder, located at /CTrun/Start.exe. Installation will start, follow the on screen directions should take about anywhere from 2-8 minutes depending on how fast your computer is. Once everything is installed, restart your computer. Once restarted your sound should be working and lots of Creative Labs junk to compliment it.
4. If you are an Audigy 2 user, install all downloaded Creative updates (
driver updates in order of oldest to latest) from the Creative site, restart the necessary number of times and skip to step 6. If you are not using an Audigy 2 continue to step 5.
5. The CTCOMP patch must also be applied to driver updates (not application updates) and installed oldest to latest. To do so, you must extract the actual .exe update files with WinRAR the same way you did the driver CD. Right click on the file, select “extract files…” and select the directory to where you want it extracted. The using the CTCOMP patch, select the folder of the extracted update (just the root directory not any subfolders within) and click next. Do this for all driver updates and
install them in order of oldest to latest.
6. To get the equalizer to work, after installing everything and verifying your sound is working, restart the computer in safe mode. Once booted, apply the patch.exe file. Verify the directory for your Creative folder (i.e. C:\program files\creative) and all files should be patched successfully.
7 (optional). Extract Ctpanel.zip to windows\system32, and a new link in your control should appear as "Creative Audio Control Panel".
For Live users, after extracting the file, navigate to windows\system32 and find the YourCPL.txt. Open this text file and edit the line:
"C:\Program Files\Creative\SBAudigy2\Program\WDM\COMMON\CtPane l.exe" (without quotations)
and change it to:
"C:\Program Files\Creative\Program\WDM\COMMON\CtPanel.exe"(wit hout quotations).
Everything should work and the end result looks like this:
Now enjoy your enhanced Live!/Audigy/Audigy 2 soundcard!
