Hey guys

I'm after the original driver and application CD-ROMs that shipped with the Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro. Sadly I seem to have misplaced mine, and Creative only provide barebone drivers and applications on their website. Would be nice to have the original drivers and applications to keep everything period correct.

If anyone is able to help out by ripping the CD's and uploading them to archive.org, that would be awesome!

Just to save time, yes, I've already browsed the Vogons driver page. The specific images I'm looking for are not available. I'm fairly certain the ZS PP was released in 2003, and so the CD's are slightly different.

Thanks in advance

Hello,
here are the discs I have that came with a 2 ZS Platinum Pro. Do you need all or just the gold one? Not sure I can upload to archive.org (never tried it before).

Thanks for the quick response. "grommit2007" sent me a PM with a link to the CD's I was after on archive.org, which seemed to work perfectly. Interesting that yours came with Hitman and Thief, I had Soldier of Fortune II bundled with mine.

Thanks anyway 😀

Seems that all Audigy ZS models shipped with the same installation media. The only difference was the bundled software - usually 1 or 2 games and/or Fruity Loops, depending on the region.

This is exactly what I was looking for. Many thanks!

I just ordered Platinium Pro version as well, if anyone knows where i can download additional CDs isos i would be much greatful. Beside retro gaming i`m into music my whole life, testing some old software that comes additionally would be so cool. 😀

Few posts above says it's the same CD no matter which card you have.... I think this is the one I used for my Pro

No my mistake!
I thought you were after the driver disk even though you said additional CDs isos

Although looking at that picture
1 disc that includes Thief and Hitman, Both on 1 disc? good chance they aren't the full game.
1 disc with Lara Croft on the front, Says Demo disc so definitely no full versions.
1 disc with DVD Audio Sampler, So a DVD Audio disc, maybe interesting if your into music, maybe

But the other 2 I'd think your simply better off just getting the full retail games if they interest you. Gone were the days when bundled games had anything technically different then retail versions.

Its ok, then all installations i need are on provided CD.
My soundcard came , its SB0360 model, but installation CD wont detect my soundcard, my computer is seeing it as 2 different units, PCI card and Firewire. I`ve already found an old post where people are having the same problem. It will take some time till i make it work i guess. Wish me luck. 🙁
