I have byed this sound card but without drivers, i have found drivers on official site but have problem, i cannot record sounds through Microphone or Line In.
Auxality and SPDIF unknown it work or not.
Does anyone have original CD-ROM with drivers. I guess if i have it and install drivers i will able to record.

"What You Hear" record option work, but i am need Microphone or Line In.
Any one can share driver disk? Want to try it

If you're running 64 bit Windows with a large amount of memory then the Audigy microphone doesn't work. There was some registry workaround [download link in the Creative forum IIRC] that limited the amount of RAM that could be addressed but that didn't work for me either. Solution is to use a different input.

Sadly, Creative and Windows Vista [& above] don't have a happy relationship!

Creative just never wrote decent x64 drivers for Audigy or Live. Audigy works OK if you have <=4GB RAM. The whole XFi line works fine though, which is getting ancient and cheap now too.

The kx drivers might work. They are certainly not trouble free on Vista/7 though.

Odd then. My Audigy 2 ZS was absolutely fine under Windows XP (I only had 2GB but that shouldn't matter .. unless you're running with the 3GB switch enabled?).

I was running the latest drivers at the time - those were the ones before the last set released.

You haven't got any onboard sound enabled as well have you? Have a look in the Windows Sounds Control Panel applet for what devices are being assigned to what function.

Try to uninstall what you currently have installed and see if this works for you. It will run any Audigy card (1-4), except the budget cards without the real Audigy DSP.
