Read from the kX website FAQ and it says
"Support for Audigy2 series is available for the latest releases of the driver. 24/96 support is under development.

Audigy2 ZS series aren't fully supported at the moment, due to the fact that we do not have an Audigy2 ZS card for testing. However, as soon as we have enough money to buy one, support will be implemented. If you'd like to help, please make a donation to the kX Fund."

I'm interested in trying kX driver and am using Audigy 2 ZS right now, so does the latest version support FULLY for this sound card?

Also, does it support all Dolby, DTS, THX audio standards?

THX is supported if the card itself is THX certified, whatever that means

kX has limited AC3 decoding and no DTS decoding afaik (AC3Filter can fix this)

THX Certification simply means to card performs within a predefined set of parameters in concerns to audio. These standard I think are kept under wraps. So A piece of technology is designed then submitted to see if it passes THX certification. In this way the hardware has to be good all the way around instead of concentrating on the functions that would lead it to recive the certification. One of the main ones I think when it comes to sound card is a frequency response of 20Hz - 20Khz. Stick is rtight though it's not something that like EAX where it can be turned on and off. the card either performs within these exacting audio standards or it does not. Hope that helps.
