Any point in running HDMI though the AV receiver to the tv ? & general audio advice

[snowdog]

If your doing that u NEED that danial k driver for the audigy 2 as it fixes some problems. And no the ms driver isnt good enough its based on a old creative driver which is flawed. Sure ull hear sounds but nothing as it should be sounding.

Ahhh, looking at a picture of the back of my AV receiver, it DOES have Analog 5.1 (even 7.1) input, thought you said it didn't:

7.1 3.5mm outputs (which the amp wont take)

Snowy he said outputs not inputs. Just correcting you.
I have highlighted some of the fixes you probably would benefit from this driver package.

All things that I don't feel I need. I never noticed a low volume like it says. I don't want any crappy creative apps in my windows, the WDM driver is fine.
Why would I benefit from DTS exactly, I'm not using it as I don't have or plan buying a coax cable. I'm only using the 2zs for analog output.

Stop being a bloody smartass , he says the amp won't take take 3.5 mm analog audio, when it obviously does.

Your only output on that card is Digital Coaxial or 7.1 3.5mm outputs (which the amp wont take) so the whole debate is pointless.

The amp does take the output from the 3.5 mm jacks, highlighted with the red box on the pic.


Didn't you also say:

well it will sound a lot better than it does now i can tell u that, doesnt matter of volume but its usage

The first post of the thread about the driver says this:

Does this driver improve sound quality or performance? Are there any tweaks?

No, this driver does not improve sound quality nor increase performance.

No, there are no tweaks.

If someone states that its driver improves sound quality and performance, you are being fooled, cheated.

It is even worse that the so called tweaks come from a person who is not EVEN technically acknowledged, does NOT know anything about Windows internals, software engineering and sound fidelity that all audiophiles always look for.

If it doesn't increase performance or quality, then I'm not fixing what ain't broke.
