    Belive it or not I'm a fan of the MediaSource player and its CMS upmix effects! So if you want the player just instal it all... Also theres a thread by me about useing the new version of the software 3.0 thats out... Its a special version thats been tweked* so it works with the audigy 2 ZS

    Myth I have and will check it out. I would like the bare minimum to run the card and tweak the sound really nothing more.

    Nice one... can you tell me what differences, if any, are there between the "games" and "music" versions? I installed the games version, but I often listen to music on my PC as well (more so than on my music system these days truth be told, thanks to my new Grado Labs headphones!). Am I missing out a lot in the music stakes, having installed the games drivers?

    I am really happy with the "games" version with music too, but never tried the "music" option. Anyone here done it, since the other nite blasting music i was 1 millimetre from testing it out.

    BTW since noone here tested it, i tested tonite, and its just incredible.
    If you have an Audgiy2, just install these drivers in music mode. It is just tight.

    So for someone who plays games and listens to music equally, which ones do you suggest I use?
