It was however a fresh install and not an upgrade. The sound is alright. Soundcards haven't evolved particularly much in the last decade so I say it's okay. I'm going to be replacing my soundcard with something else, but it's mostly due to me tiring of Creatives antics regarding customer support. No, I'm not using a notebook. How would I have managed to install a full-length soundcard into one? Quicksilver: No, I didn’t need to tweak anything to get DD working with my ZS under Hardy.

For some reason this never worked under Feisty and Gutsy (but did under Edgy!) and I could never figure out why." Did you have to tune your distro 8.04 for the SB Audigy2 ZS "speaks" out genuine 5.1 Dolby Digital-surround ? Or did it came naturally without pb ? Is the sound good with this card ? Of course you are using a notebook right ? Thanks for your quick feedback Rgds Quicksilver Hi iscore
