Review on 🔊 Enhance Your Audio Experience with the Creative Labs Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Internal Sound Card by Nestor Orbita

Everything I know about Creative Labs Audigy cards tells me they are "the best". I upgraded from the slimmest card they've ever offered (to my knowledge) - SB Live! Cost (OEM Dell). The OEM version was even slimmer than the retail version. The sound was INCREDIBLE on the good speaker system I had. Well I updated the speakers and found that the old card didn't support them so I figured it was time to update the card as well. I researched the latest models on the market and found the Audigy 2 series to be affordable, "high performance" and highly rated by most techies. Generation 1 or 2 DELL XPS system ----- Audigy cards, even the oldest, will not work on Dell motherboards. Your computer may meet the minimum requirements for a sound card, but THIS WILL NOT WORK. You won't find this information anywhere on Creative Labs, but if you go to the Dell forum and look at the Dimension/Audio forum you'll find plenty. I found out too late. doesn't work - it will mess up your system My scanner isn't working properly, I had to uninstall and reinstall other devices to make them work etc. etc. Not worth the headache! So what can you do if you don't have a sound card or you have an old sound card and want to support 5.1, 6.1 or 7.1 speakers? y Creative Labs or earlier Live! 5.1. I think they still offer it because they know millions of old Dell users have this known issue. It seems to affect some issues with AMD boards. See other reviews. I hope this helps someone avoid the 40+ hours I've spent trying to get my system back to how it was before I inserted the card. By the way, if you have a nice new system that is less than a year old. then be sure to buy this card - it's amazing.
