    Audigy 2 ZS

    Does anyone here have an Audigy 2 ZS working in windows 7? If so which drivers did they use and did everything install and work correctly?

    I ask as I have one in my old rig which I am thinking of moving into my new, but I am aware that creative stopped supporting the old tech once X-FI came out and getting the Audigy series to work on windows 7 can be problematic.

    Got my one working ok, the current driver on soundblasters website (9thApril 2010) lists win7 support, I run win7 64

    This download is a driver providing Microsoft® Windows® 7, Windows Vista® and Windows XP support for Creative Sound Blaster® Audigy® series of audio devices. For more details, read the rest of this web release note.

    ^Same as Flibb although the system I had it in isn't now up and running, it worked fine when the PC was operational.

    Same also. Win7 x64 no problem.

    Win 7 autodetected driver works fine, but sound levels were better using Creative's own driver. No problem with either.
