How to install Soundblaster Audigy 2ZS drivers on Live!/Audigy/Audigy 2

Postby Buliwyf » Sat May 08, 2004 3:51 pm

from driverhaven.net

better sound quality and lower CPU usage almost nothing actually for CPU usage

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. Thanks to all forum members that helped me make this small guide possible!

Buli, when you tried to extract the 4 cd files, did it keep asking for a cd?
