?<p class="MsoNormal">As I?m writing this, I?m losing my sanity. Never in my life a computer hardware has created this much problems for me as this card has. I have Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro and yesterday installed a 32 bit Windows XP professional again on my PC. I installed all my drivers and finally got to the Sound Card. I have serious problems with the drivers that are on the CD; if I only install the drivers from there, every time I click on EAX my computer restarts. This was a problem that I had since I bought this hardware 3 years ago. Last time (which was couple of month ago) I found an updated driver in creative website and everything worked fine until I re-installed my windows but I can't find that driver anymore.
<p class="MsoNormal">?
<p class="MsoNormal">First let me say finding drivers for this Sound card in creative support section is an absolute nightmare. Nothing is where it should be. The section doesn?t even have my sound card in their sound blaster list. What a joke.
<p class="MsoNormal">?
<p class="MsoNormal">As of yesterday, I have been unable to find any drivers for this product; nothing. I don?t have sound on my computer and if I go with the original CD installation my computer crashes.
<p class="MsoNormal">?
<p class="MsoNormal">Finally after searching through the forum (do I seriously have to search the forum to find drivers?!!) found a driver called ?SBAX_PCDRV_LB_2_8_000.exe? but my god that is even worse! Nothing works after the update. I don?t have any sound on my computer. EAX and other functions are not working. It gives one error after another. I can't even click on them.
<p class="MsoNormal">?
<p class="MsoNormal">I don?t know what else to do. I want to break this sound card to pieces but I paid 320 dollars for it. I know I?m screwed and stuck with this ?thing? but please, if anybody has a driver or knows where I can find the drivers, post a message here. I just want to listen to music on this 300$ sound card. Why did I buy this is what I?m asking myself right now. I?m going insane.
