a. The steps below are what I did. I don't know if you really need the XP 32 bit drivers first. It may be possible to do it with just the Vista beta and XP64 drivers. There may also be better ways. Please do update this thread if you find any.) D0 _& q2 a. t' F1 ], [+ @
b. The steps below are for Audigy 2 ZS only, NOT Audigy 2 ZS gamer, platinum (pro), or other models. There are existing drivers/workarounds for these other models.9 D* K' {; w" h: q6 A
c. The steps below are for AMD 64-bit processors. They have not been tested on an Intel processor based PC. It may or may not work, but you can use the drivers in the "i386" folder instead of the "AMD64" folder.
