Audigy driver CD

[Phil21]

I'm sure this gets posted somewhat frequently...

I've apparently been using my SB Audigy (the orginal version of it, I believe) w/o the actual driver CD/apps. This worked fine, but now I have new speakers (z5500's) which use the coax output. They seemed to work okay, but I decided to update the driver itself and now I can't get dolby digital or DTS to work properly - it seems the audigy is decoding the stream itself now and not sending the raw stream to the digital out. doh!

Long story short, I can't find the original CD to be able to download the whole driver/app pack from creative. Anyone have an image of the CD somewhere? Why they do this, I will never understand - as soon as there is a real alternative to Creative I am buying it, as their driver games only serve to piss me off.

Thanks!

Which SB Audigy do you have?

Naturally, driver updates reset defaults. Disable software decoding from AudioHQ. You seem to have sound, but if not then enable digital output only from the mixer.

However, you would be well advised to use the latest proggies from an Audigy 2 ZS CD anyway which you can prolly snag via links at driverheaven or presumably emule or a pop bittorrent site. Driverheaven will have the necessary setup hack to allow installing for the original Audigy.

I don't have AudioHQ is the problem Never have.. I just did a windows install, and it snagged workingish drivers online, since all I used were headphones before, it never bothered me.

I have an Audigy Platinum, not Audigy2 - I may just run and buy an Audigy 2 ZS if this proves too difficult to track down, but that seems like a waste to me.

Thanks for the replies!
