http://www.hardwareheaven.com/showthre...threadid=10505 - this is very experimental and you can test it.

Alternatively (tested method that works in most of cases):
A: (Thanks to BiGBrOWnPimpsta): To install SB Audigy2 drivers, download these files:
1. Hacked drivers (.283):
http://202.102.249.31/%7Esblivefan/Audigy2divers.zip
2. Audigy2 driver update (.323):
http://files.americas.creative.com/c...VL11021217.exe
3. Full Audigy2 CD (english only):
http://users2.ev1.net/~dallasstar/sb..._multilang.rar
4. evil drivers
http://www.republika.pl/evil_one2/wdma_evil_emu.rar
5. Optional: updates for Creative MediaSource and other Audigy2 programs found at www.creative.com, which you can find in Audigy2 section of the site and improved my sound performance.
Installation:When you have downloaded all of theme, please remove all previous SoundBlaster software/drivers using Add/Remove Programs and reboot your computer. When you come back to desktop, it may ask you for the driver installation disk, cancel it. Same goes for the gameport installation after. Now to do some mixing...
Extract sb_install_multilang.rar, audigy2divers.zip (it was mispelled) and wdma_evil_emu.rar using WinRAR which can be downloaded from www.rarlab.com. To extract the Audigy2 driver update (AUD2DRVL11021217.exe), which is an exe, right click and select extract files to do it. Once the update is extracted, open it and then go into the /Drivers folder, highlight all copy it and paste it into the Audigy2divers folder (has the folders common, win2k_xp and crap) and overwrite it all. Then from the extracted wdma_evil_emu folder, copy and paste all the files into the the audigy2divers folder again. When your in the audigy2divers folder, open up the win2k_xp folder copy these files from there: CTDAUGHT.DAT, ctdlang.dat, CTSTATIC.DAT and DEFAULT.ECW. then paste the files into the common folder of audigy2divers. Now your ready to insall the drivers. if you look in the main directory of audigy2divers, you will see a program called CTZAPXX.exe, run this select install drivers. press ok, itl will update all drivers. Reboot your computer, and when you are back, the sound should be working. then open up sb_install_multilang, folder Audio. Inside open the setup programs and install the programs from these folders: ASR, AudioHQ, Diagnose, DVDAudio, EAXCon, MiniDisc (if u got an MD), restore, SF8Mgr, SpkCal, SpkSet, SurMixer and for the new MediaSource go back to the main directory and open CMS, then the folder setup, then install MediaSource. Reboot your computer and SB Audigy2 driver installation is complete, updating the programs is optional but i recommend it i saw a significant increase in bass quality. Get it at www.creative.com, section Audigy2 drivers. Download the updates for the Speaker Calibration, EAX Console, MediaSource, DVD Audio.
