SOUNDHACK FIX HEADER DRIVERS

(With major help from Moitah on the forums, the algorithm has been improved - the new version will appear in 1.7.0.) In order to do this, however, I needed to output sound with more than two channels, which I had never done before.

The idea was to use the 'center cut' algorithm to split the center audio from the sides and run two speakers with the side audio and one or two more in front with the center audio.

Now, I had another agenda with getting this card, and that is to try a surround-sound hack. Also, the built-in sound card's mixer and the Audigy 2's mixer areВ both active,В so I can set the built-in one's mixer such that the volume control that most programs see has a normal range instead of loud to extremely loud to ear-shatteringly loud. The latency is a bit high, but this means that I can get EAX environmental effects through the onboard speakers.

An unexpected feature, however, is that if you don't plug anything into the Audigy 2 ZS Notebook, its drivers can take the output of the effects engine and push it through your regular sound card. As far as I can tell, it has essentially the same feature set as a regular Audigy 2 ZS, includingВ the EMU10K2-based effects engine and the separate 24-bit/96KHzВ support chip.В It has a single headphone port on the side that doubles both for a regular wired connection and an optical output. В¶Learning DirectSound and audio with more than 2 channelsДЄbout a week ago, I acquired a Creative Labs Audigy 2 ZS Notebook card, partly out of the need to do some testing with 24-bit audio support, and partly due to disdain for the wonderfully fancy AC97 codec in my laptop.
