Speakers? you mean those overpriced and overly large boxes?

Really, all you need is a $10 pair of headphones. Maybe $100 if you really like your music/games

Or maybe that's just the cheap/lack of space me talking...

....are most of you retarded or something?
only need headphones? Klipsch are bad?
I have an 85 inch projected screen in my home theatre, to which this is attached..why the smurf would I use headphones..
"ok everyone, slap on a pair! surround sound doesnt work with these, but some moron on a forum said this is all we need, so here ya go!"

Why am I at fault?
the only reply that person made was saying my speakers are smurf. Why did you not give him a warning that this isnt the meaningless attack forum..

My Aud 2 ZS card and software works fine. Maybe try removing/uninstalling everything and start fresh. I guess first you could try Creative's auto update feature on their web site.

Your speakers are smurf.

Quite frankly, you're best served leaving the EQ flat, because all software EQ does is muddy the sound more than the Audigy card and Klipsch speakers do already.

Dang, y'all are brutal. Poor guy comes here seeking honest advice and all ya do is slam his equipment.

If we're here to bash equipment, then y'all line up with legs spread and I'll bash your "equipment" all day long.

C'mon the first seven post were useless garbage to the questions asked.

I see that you uninstalled everything before, but did that include removing the card out of device mngr. Maybe try uninstalling again with a regedit search for the software to make sure it is striped out.

Could another app be shuting them down like some antivirus or spybot's teatimer.

Thanks for the suggestions LLEVIATHANN and MARATHIONMAN and only you two...

Ill try that suggestion of removing it from devices..

Yes. Often, but not always, makers will note you should shut down any running A/Vware lest it interfere with installation. I have no trouble of note with my Audigy, but I run only the basic drivers, not the rather bloated kitchen-sink software package.

I've not had that trouble with Spybot 1.3, but then it does give you a warning and ask if such-and-so change should be allowed. Since this is a troubled install, shutting that down too might be good.

I don't quite see that. If I can't kibbutz with fellow Clanners now and again (Booksley being someone who might be a bit flippant now and again, but neither 'retarded' nor 'a moron'), I'm quitting. Levi, you should know better than to threaten violence to people you either do or might soon see in meat life. A threat is grounds for a ban... I'll take it that you got carried away. My 'yes' implied I thought Books' response off the mark, as he himself noted was possible.

You also know that headphones do suffice for most of my audio needs, but with nearly 35 years of speaker design and building behind me (and hopefully some ahead), I don't denigrate their value.

Thanks, Ill try a Creative wipe, then install with virus scans turned off.
Ill report back about the results.
