Read the title, Audigy 2 and newer. That should include X-Fi if you are running Windows XP x64. Regular 32bit Windows XP is exempt.

Actually, no. That's wrong. It's only Audigy 2 and Audigy 4 based chipsets. X-fi chipset has a totally different driver.

It was time to retire the old chip, she had a good run, and now finally good drivers!

The Audigy 2 and 4 are based on the same chip design. The only differances are better DAC's and the driver will enable EAX 3. Hacked versions of the Audigy 4 driver will enable all of 4's advanced EAX features to run on Audigy 2zs cards.

If you run X-Fi on XP x64, a New driver was released in January of 2006. XP 32BIT users the driver was released back in september of 2005.

Go to http://us.creative.com/support/downloads/ and select X-Fi then XP x64 and see what I mean.

Uhhhhh, your dates and information are totally different than mine.

When selecting X-Fi XP64:

Drivers

Title Date

1. Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi series Driver 2.07.0004 (39.42 MB) 15 Nov 05 Download Now

This contains an improved version of the driver found on the Sound Blaster® X-Fi? installation CD. For more details, read the rest of this web release note. Show Details...

Same when selecting X-fi XP.

That was what I was basing my statement on, if you're seeing something different, who knows why.

Googer, in general I respect your posts, but please, when you say something like "Read the title" make sure you do it yourself instead of spouting off.

I already install these new drivers for my Audigy but I am moving up to a Audigy2 ZS.

Can I just swap out the cards or do I need to reinstall it.

LMK
Thx

I would leave your old Audigy Plugged in to the PCI but and intall the Audigy2zs right next to it. Boot the PC and see if it gets detected automaticly. But I suspect that you will need to install the driver a second time for the second card.

One benefit of two sound cards is that you can keep your 7.1 speaker setup pluged in to the Audigy2 ZS and have a set of headphones pluged in to the old Audigy 1. That way you will not have to un-plug the speakers every time you wanted to use the headphones.
