Auzentech X-Fi + Audigy together

Hi,

i got an Auzentech X-Fi Prelude soundcard which i use mainly.
I also got an Audigy 2 with FrontBay (actually its the XFi Fatality Bay but they work together). Because of the Auzentech not having a possibility to hook up the bay i'd like to use both cards together. With original Auzentech and Creative drivers it is not working. If i install the 2nd driver either which way round i get file-replacement warnings and the first installed soundcard stops working and remains with yellow ! in device manager.

Is there a way to get both cards running together?

My OS is latest XP x64

Thx in advance

Re: Auzentech X-Fi + Audigy together

Hi,
i know that it is possible to use 2 soundcards but the auzentech and creative drivers seem to collide oevr some files that both drivers use in different versions.
If i install Auzentech drivers and afterwards Audigy drivers the Auzentech Card stops working and remains yellow marked in device manager. If I try other way round the Audigy will not work.
I just was wondering if there is a workaround to this.
