Not at all just run the installer reboot then you should have working sound, just make sure that you get a version of the card that is based on the emu10k? chip. Some them are made with a different one that does not work with the driver I can tell you for the two I have just a plain Audigy original version with firewire port (works as well so bonus firewire port if you get one) and the Audigy 2 ZS model work perfectly.

iLeopard_PC Posted January 16, 2010 Author Share Posted January 16, 2010 MacUser2525 you are right but there is a solution for that. With AU Lab we can use two sound card simultaneously; for example I use Audigy 2 ZS (bought yesterday, lol) with a 5.1 sound system and an integrated sound card (onboard) for mic.
