Default My Audigy 2 Died...is there a history
Well, it finally happened. My Audigy 2 Platinum sound card died. I've heard several stories of these things dying lately. Is there a history of bad SB cards?

I really want to pick up an Audigy 2 ZS...I hate using the built in Realtek junk.

I had an original Audigy Platnium a few years a go that worked great, it is now used by KraftMayo who has never reported any problems. I now use an Audigy 2 Plat and have never had any problems. In my experience as it is Creative makes a quality product.

could be the amp on your speakers....what are you using.....

have an audigy 2pzs, love it..was a wonderful tool when i was a digital arts music major.....

never had an audigy die.....but on the audio side i hade 3 sets of klipsch 5.1 go bad before they fixed the problem and called it "ultra" lol i guess when you fix a problem with your hardware now you have to ad a tag

....utlra
....2
....zs

i guess i cant bitch too much they did replace every set for free w/ shipping

good luck, if you have an old card around i would use that and just wait till the audigy X-Fi comes out
