Hi all,
is it possible to use two Audig 2 ZS cards
at one system at the same time or is this not possible?
I woud like to link them per SPDIF together with an audigy 1 card.
Thanks

This is possible, if your system has enough ressources. You have to install one driver package for each card (can be different driver versions). Note: only one card in the whole system can be the ASIO master I/O card.

If you are using the multiple cards for extra I/O using the same ASIO enabled recording software, you can just use the kX drivers for all 3 cards, you just have to figure out where the inputs are coming in from the slave cards into the epilog on your master card. Like TravelRec said above, if you are running different applications at the same time you would need different drivers for each card. It is best to install one card at a time and make sure it is working with kX, then install the 2nd.....

I have 2 cards running at the same time. Tried a 3rd once and it seemed that whenever I would boot up, the cards would switch IRQs and sometimes 3 cards would be recognized and sometimes 1 or 2. Give it a shot anyway.
