Creative Audigy 2 ZS-Problems


I have installed Creative Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS to get Line-in, Line-out and Audio cleanup in one reasonable cost package. MAJOR problems-(1)sound is almost inaudible, (2) anti-virus cannot be enabled and (3) printer connection is not being detected. I have a HP 763N with Windows XP Home Edition.

I have already spent several hours talking with 5 different telephone support persons at Creative. After an hour with the last support person he said I should replace my 200 watts power supply to one that produces 300-350 watts. Incidentally, the power supply need is not in the system requirements listed on the package. Any other suggestions.

Look! I have an Audigy 2 ZS which I bought with one purpose. To make music! Great card. The ASIO 2.0 drivers are excellent and everything went well till last night I went home after spending about 1 hour making sounds and when I turned to see - My Creative Inspire 5300 speakers had very very litle sound and with no quality at all!!! It seemed like those old radios of the 50's!!! I thought the problem was on the speakers but then I tried with headphones and still the sound was really really bad. I had the volume control at maximum and couldn't hear almost nothing!!! Then I activated the on-board Realtek card and the sound was great. Now... look... I don't know how but it seems that the speaker connection is damaged and bad. the three of them! I didn't think what I thought to be a quality product could let me down after 5 months of life! I always used Creative's cheapest sound cards. Now that I buy a good one it... sucks!!!! I really need it. I've ordered another one because it still is the most affordable. Let me see if this one works or turns to be a piece of junk!!!
