sb audigy2 zs notebook is now supported

**Eugene Gavrilov** · Jan 19, 2006, 06:47 AM

hello, guys

I'm glad to let you know that SB Audigy2 ZS Notebook is finally supported -- after reviewing recent ALSA sources, I found the initialization sequence, re-implemented it for kX -- and voilá - it works

although not all inputs/outputs are accessible, but most are

and, yes, soundfonts are perfectly supported in hardware, as well as all the DSP effects

so, this is 'true' audigy2 value-like card

the newer version supporting a2zsnb to be released soon

E.

p.s.
btw, in the alsa sources there's some code dealing with newer emu 1212m boards as well -- I'm unsure if it is based on some official/semi-official information, released by Creative, but if the boards are ever supported by ALSA, I will probably update kX sources accordingly

Way cool!

After ignoring the forum for several weeks, I check back just in time to find
these news - great work! I think this will be like christmas to all notebook
users when they now can use kX too.

A big thank you from me to Eugene and the ALSA guys - now I just need a
A2zs nb and a proper notebook

Bye,
Hannes
