I just got an Audigy 2 ZS and yes, now I run it on hardware and it sounds more immersive than it did on my plain, crappy Audigy LS...good upgrade in my opinion. The sounds are much clearer.

Re: Sound Settings on Hardware

how did you get it to work on hardware?

Re: Sound Settings on Hardware

If you can't get your Audigy 2 working in hardware mode, you are having problems. You may not have your drivers installed properly.

Re: Sound Settings on Hardware

In your windows sound & audio settings control panel, move the hardware acceleration slider to "Basic acceleration" and/or turn off EAX and/or download the Creative OpenAL beta drivers.

finaly someone tells me, got Hardware settings to work, thanks

is it normal to have a big roar sound when flying a jet?

Re: Sound Settings on Hardware

But you WANT the hardware acceleration slider all the way to 'Full' in order to get all of the benefits of hardware mode, surround sound, and EAX.

All you probably had to do was to go into Creative's EAX Console and disable EAX.

Re: Sound Settings on Hardware

Re: Sound Settings on Hardware

BF2 has a nasty habit of messing with your soundcard's mixer as soon as it loads a map (only if you have VOIP enabled)
