Drivers are one thing, the control panel is something else. Go check the website,
www.creative.com. And since that audio console is dated 30 Aug 05, it is fairly recent.
*SO YES, the drivers have always been there. The control panel has not. Try exercising some reading comprehension before you go spouting off.

You can still tweak how they sound......there are alot of programs that have equalizers and such that will allow you to tweak your speakers instead of asking us to do it for you...
You misplaced your CD....why have you not contacted the Creative peeps yet....I am sure if you have the proper documentation they will send you a CD for a modest charge..but hey 5 bucks = a lesson learned....capiche??
maybe these sites can help you...
also did you do a google search for another site that you might be able to d/l what you need??

Good luck!!
If you misplaced your nvidia cd, would you expect to have to pay for replacement before you got your nv control panel back? No. Hell, you wouldn't even want to install all the outdated crap that came along with that cd. The same applies here. I don't know of another company who employs similar practices, other than ATI with their ever so precious gemstar+ TV guide.
The point is that Creative still refuses to let you download the complete control panel from their website, which is ridiculous. The advanced apps are update only. Is there any good reason for this rather than creative wanting to squeeze just a little more money out of you? No. Considering this a lesson to learn, when only Creative is so asinine to make it so, is a joke that anybody should recognize.
Jeeze, heaven forbid I ask for some help in the general help forum. Man, so unreasonable of me. I know that there are people out there who host up the Gemstar+ guide for people who were so unlucky to misplace the CD that came with their AIW card. I am one of those people. Is it so unreasonable for me to expect that someone might be nice enought to host up the nessecary files for their Audigy2 Value card? I don't think so. At least Ghouler was nice enough to point out that at the moment they do have a completely functioning, if very barebones, control panel available for download.
Again, thanks ghouler for pointing that out. Earlier, the summer of 05, I had zero luck trying to migrate this sound card to a different PC bccause all I could get is stereo out. The windows built in peaker utility doesn't realy help to specify what should go of the digital out and what shouldn't. In my case I needed both analog and digital signals to go over the SPDIF interface, and I couldn't make that happen.
* The guides turned up by Google are largely about the Audigy on up. I have an Audigy2 LS, which is evidently a special animal. Yes I checked it out, and my attempts at using Audigy 2 software were in vain.
Once I find my CD (which I suspect is at my SO's place, approximately 3 hours away) I will be more than happy to share it's contents.
