I bought a Audigy a ways back and completely forgot how crappy sounding these cards were, complete junk from a sound stand point. and the drivers are not much better... if it were not for the dos support and EXA I toss it.

Anyway does any one know of any short of software equalizer I could use with the card and windows 2000?

Thankyou.

Other than the creative one, I don't know of any.

There is no real one in the drivers. Just a room equalizer.

Is a Sound Blaster Live 5.1 much better? I have a SB Live 5.1 in my XP rig and just found an Audigy EAX card and was thinking it would be better to use that in place of the Live card, but now I don't know. Anymore ifo would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

I know you are looking for a software solution, but have you considered finding onw of the old drive bay EQ heads? Here is an example:

I've got an old NEC digital one that works very well for 2, 2.1, and 4 speaker setups. I bought it back in '97 or '98 and its white so it doesn't look right in a modern case, but it works fine. I still see these units pop up on ebay and craigs list from time to time. Might be worth keeping a lookout for one as you don't need to worry about dealing with one more app.
