Re: [Sound] audigy 2 cards

Hi Mat (only one t?),

I just went over the same headace.  :)

You need to get the latest driver source from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/emu10k1

and compile it (you can't just get the latest download, you have get the
latest code from the CVS repository because the Audigy 2 support is only in
the latest source code).

This thread has a synopsis of what I had to do:
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=815346&forum_id=146557

You can also check out the archives of another list I'm on to see some of my
emails:
