Fantastic sound card, and I couldn't function without its features!
Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Zs Sound Card
I'm a musician: pianist/keyboardist, guitarist, and bassist. And I needed a sound card that could process sounds at a better rate than a 50 or 80 millisecond buffer with onboard sound from my motherboard. Sufficed to say, this sound card has, and continues to meet that need. It has been able to lower my buffer requirements down to 2 ms (pretty much real-time playback) at times, which is just phenomenal! My first card finally expired after 6 years of fairly heavy use with my previous 5970, and currently high-end 6970s crossfire GPUs blasting heat on it and heavy sound processing on more complex, synth oriented compositions. I purchased my first Audigy 2 ZS Platinum card back in 2006, and even today, it is very hard to find a card with the same wholesome features and quality this sound device possesses. There are no cards on the market that have an optional 5.25 bay (CD/DVD drive) facing that has a multitude of input and output 1/4 inch sized TRS jacks, RCA, firewire, 5-pin midi, and digital connectors. Not to mention the built in remote IR sensor for a near entertainment center experience.However, much like most products on the market, the Audigy 2 ZS does use quite a bit of proprietary components by design. The front side output for headphones and/or a microphone require that you own the 5.25 bay and its special ribbon cable to connect to it. It would have been nice if they would have included a pin out for those who may not have been as lucky as to own the optional bay device. Additionally, though I'm not entirely sure about this, but I believe the rear connectors for 7.1 surround sound accommodate their Creative 7.1 surround sound speaker system. Again, I'm not entirely sure. Do your research in this regard for any preexisting surround sound setups before purchasing any sound card. Outside of this, my only other gripe would have been Creative's decision to use a firewire port instead of a USB port on both the sound card and its optional front bay device. Seems like a waste for such an under used technology.All those minor discrepancies aside, this is a fantastic card! And I'll be the first one to buy a 2nd generation of it should they deliver!Read full review
