CmpFreak88 Posted February 21, 2004 Posted February 21, 2004 I've been looking at the Audigy 2 ZS. From what I can tell its a pretty good card, but I'm not sure if anything else would be better. I haven't tried anything other than Creative but I'd be open to anything. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravy Posted February 21, 2004 Posted February 21, 2004 the Audigy LS is nice for $69 at Bestbuy i think you can get a OEM version of the Audigy 2 ZS on Newegg for close to the same money Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravix Posted February 21, 2004 Posted February 21, 2004 The audigy 2 ZS is on newegg for $88. Highly recommended. (see the thread below this) Plus, it comes with Rainbow Six 3, Raven Shield, and the latest Tomb Raider game. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CmpFreak88 Posted February 21, 2004 Posted February 21, 2004 Well, I got the LS, but I thought for 20 dollars more why not go to the ZS. I'm heading out to Fry's today so I'm probably picking up the ZS. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eva_Unit_0 Posted February 22, 2004 Posted February 22, 2004 I have NOT had a good experience with my audigy gamer...Creative's drivers suck horribly. I've heard of other people who had good luck with them, but I cannot recommend one myself. I would recommend you at least check out the Hercules Fortissimo III 7.1...it is very nice and very cheap. (like 40 bucks or so) I've heard good things about them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mangar Posted February 22, 2004 Posted February 22, 2004 (edited) I have had a lot of problems with my AUDIGY 2 ZS, until I got the "KX" drivers... now all is great ! KX sound drivers home Edited February 22, 2004 by Mangar Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eva_Unit_0 Posted February 22, 2004 Posted February 22, 2004 Yeah, if you're going to get any audigy card I would HIGHLY recommend the kx audio drivers. They sound amazing and actually WORK. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravy Posted February 22, 2004 Posted February 22, 2004 i sold my Audigy LS i went with a $3.50 C-Media CM8738 6 channel sound card new from eBay i've had one before and it was the only one that didn't hog resources, and i was actually able to get my subwoofer and rear channels to work right ALL the time the Audigy sounded great when listening to music, but, in games, there wasn't ALOT of difference, yes it was noticeable, but, when playing, i don't have time to listen for a difference in the way the sounds sound Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ph33rh4x Posted February 22, 2004 Posted February 22, 2004 i love my audigy2. no problems with drivers for me i think the new eax 4.0 sounds great ive never heard anything better, and excellent directonal sound for games (big plus for counter strike ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
