Sound Blaster Audigy 2 for Windows 98 SE?

[Lonny007]

Strange I puchased a oem Sound Blaster Audigy 2 in stactic bag with install CD maybe a live or value Audigy 2 ? but it says it is not for my operating system which is 98 SE when I try to load software using several different methods, could I have got some type of low grade card for just XP, ME and 2000? Thanks.

You probably don't need that sound card for a lower end system. I would just run a sound blaster 16, etc. if you are just using it for a basic 2 speaker setup. What says it is not for your operating system?

I installed the card then ran the software on the CD and it tried to install but said it was not for the operating system I had (and I have Windows 98 SE) installed it said it required ME XP? I tried installing the drivers another way and got blue screen of death on reboot, So some how or another the Audigy2 and software I got only wants a system with ME XP? I can not imagine I am the only one that has ran across this? Thanks

Just did some leg work for you
Creative web site says the Audigy 2 is not for WIN98SE,
its for WinME, Win2K and WinXP.
You can do the rest...........

Howdy thanks I did some looking too at Creative and I was surprised to see the Audigy 2 value says ME XP 2000 only while the plain Audigy2 says it will work for Win 98 SE? Here is the links
