Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Windows 98 Driver

[JaKSLaP]

Hey Guys;

I recently upgraded from my Sound Blaster Live to the Audigy ZS in my Windows 98 Machine. I am currently having alot of issues getting the card to run, so far i have installed the WDM drivers manually from a Driver CD i found on Vogans, but the sound keeps cutting out. 

I was wondering has anyone got he Audigy ZS successfully running in Windows 98, if so what drivers and if you could provide a link. 

Thanks

I have an Audigy-2 card (circa 2002) that sez model # SB0240.  Is this similar to Audigy ZS card?

It is similar from what i have read. What drivers did you use to get it working?

The computer with the Audigy-2 card hasn't been used in a while.  I had to locate the hard drive.  I must have had a hard time with the sound card because I have a folder called "Audigy drivers" with a bunch of files in them that I must have been mixing and matching, seeing what works.  This is what's in that folder:

I know some of those are Creative drivers and stuff.  If you want to know more details about a specific file, let me know.  If there are files somewhere else that isin't in the above list, let me know.

I am not to sure to be honest i just used the VXD cabinet file to install the sound card.  

Link is below for the Install CD. Just located the VXD file.

It looks like I have v. 4.12.01.0283-1.40.0030 drivers (9/20/02) but your Vogons link is v. 4.12.01.0381-1.80.0010 (9/23/03).  My card is the Audigy2 Platinum (with the remote control and drive-bay-mounted multi-interface panel).  I might try the newer drivers the next time I re-build that system.   Thanks for the link.

If you run the setup its not going to work. You're gonna have to install the drivers manual. I only got the drivers working not the software.
