Hello.

Does anyone know if there exists any driver for the Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 for Windows 98SE? I would like to use the card for my old PC so I can get sound from it but I cannot find anything on Creatives website. This forum lists the Audigy 1 as compatible but it doesn't link a download location for drivers, could I use Audigy 1 drivers if they exist?

Thanks for any help!

Could please post the hardware id and the exact model of the card ( if you don't find what you need there ) ?

I currently have an Audigy 2 ZS installed and this is the drivers I am using: SBA2_EAX4DRV_031031.exe and they are not too straightforward to install, you'll have to unpack and make windows look for them.

My card is the standard Audigy 2 (not ZS or anything like that), the specific model number is SB0240. I'll look into the drivers that were posted, thanks!

EDIT:
Okay, I plugged in the card and it was (compared to the old crap card) detected by Windows at startup. I asked around and was told to use the drivers named "SBA2_EAX4DRV_031031.exe" and let the files extract and then manually adding the drivers. So I did and the drivers seemed to have installed successfully and the device showed up in device manager, but I got no sound. So I reinstalled Windows 98 (Just the OS, it seems to keep all my installed programs registered so I didn't have to reinstall drivers or programs at all) and after that the sound just worked!

Here's the driver files I used:
