The Audigy is still supported on Windows!

Postby dedanna1029 » 31 Aug 2015, 04:43

One could never imagine that Windows could be backwards compatible (much), but thanks to The kX Project, The Soundblaster Audigy 1 & 2, the Soundblaster Live!, and all EMU 10k1 & 2, as well as other good old sound cards are supported. The full list is here.
The kX Project is an independent development project, focused on providing free WDM Audio Drivers for kX-Compatible sound cards. Read our Mission statement for a quick introduction.

The kX Audio Driver is an independent WDM (Windows Driver Model) driver for all EMU10K1 and EMU10K2-based soundcards manufactured by Creative Technology Ltd. and/or E-mu Systems Inc., including the SoundBlaster Live! series, the E-mu Audio Production Studio (APS) card, and the Audigy / Audigy2 series of cards. (Full List).

The kX Audio Driver package includes driver system files and setup files as well as a powerful audio mixer application (the kX Mixer), which acts as a Graphical User Interface, providing access to many of the driver's internal functions. The following features are either fully supported or partially supported in the latest release of the kX Audio Driver:

Wave Recording & Playback
MIDI Synthesizer (Soundfont-based) and MIDI UART In/Out
DirectSound 2D and DirectSound 3D
Full ASIO and GSIF support
DSP Microcode Loading/Unloading
Full AC97 codec control
AC3 Software Decoding


Have fun, Windows users. :-P
I sure can't see why you like it other than things like this, people who really contribute, like they do with Linux, except in this instance. A bunch of developers got together for you. :)
I'd rather be a free person who fears terrorists, than be a "safe" person who fears the government.
