Audigy2 with 7.1 speakers?

gorgo · May 4, 2005, 12:41 AM

Hi!

I've read some posts about modified drivers but the only thing I want is 7.1 instead of 6.1 for my A2!
Is it necessary to download these mod-drivers or is there an easier way to accomplish this?

At the moment I am using the new Beta drivers from Creative:
5.12.31.1100 dated 2005/03/28

I am satisfied with these and don't need any special functions except the 7th speaker... :-)

Would be very glad if anybody could help me!

Thanks,
g

Audigy2 only supports 6.1

so even with modified drivers there is no way to get 7.1 speakers in the speaker settings?

there is no way because there is no hardware support

unless you get a secondary soundcard and some internal wiring

Yes, you can get 7.1 if you add a new DAC to your Audigy2 as dj_stick says.
the sound card with SPDIF_IN is able to be connected to your sound card and then you get 7.1.
