I just upgraded to 6.1 speakers with a regular Audigy 2 sound card. I wanted to use the program Teamspeak and have it on a different channel than my regular 6.1 speakers so I installed my old 4.1 SBLive Vaule card and hooked my headset into that card (so I have two sound cards now installed)
I then Dld the latest drivers for each card from the Creative site. I checked my device manager and it showed "audigy" and "SBlive" for my sound cards. Since it said "audigy" and NOT "audigy 2" I became alarmed. So I checked my speaker settings and it only went to 5.1. 6.1 wasn't even on the list anymore. I then put in my Audigy 2 driver CD and used the "repair" function. After, I checked the speaker setting again and this time 6.1 DID show up but under device manager it still didn't show the card as an "audigy 2". It just showed "Audigy". Also, in the Audigy mixer, in the drop down box, there are two device options. One is the "SB Live" and the other is listed as "Audigy [9400]".
Is something wrong or is what I just described normal? I don't remember if the Audigy 2 showed up that way in the D.Manager and Mixer before I installed the SB live card. I did a speaker test and all 6.1 channels seem to come in fine but I'm not sure if the 6.1 is real or if somehow I've messed things up and now the 6th channel is just emulated.
If anyone could shed some light on the subject, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks!
