Thread: disatisfied with Audigy 2 NX sound

ok, that sounds promising. errr...Well, my HDD just died so I need another and am gonna build a little 40 GB I've got lying around. But I'll look for Bass Redirection when I get the software reloaded. When I first got the Audigy, I tested it on one of my machines and remember seeing that option. I don't remember seeing it on the latest CarPC build though. I'll let you guys know what happens this weekend.


Thanks for all your help.

Must have 5.1 or higher selected for speakers, since this option will be grayed out at anything less.

The crossover point is the slider - so no way to know exactly what frequency without a test cd.

Hi Again Folks,

Well, I think I have determined the problem. I bought this audigy 2 NX on ebay and it did not come with the original installation Cd. The fellow I bought it from went ahead and downloaded the files he could and burnt a disk for me with the device. Apparently, this does not include all the software on the disk. Soooo, can somebody burn me a copy of the number one installation disk so I can see if I get "bass redirection" yet? I'd appreciate it and I'll pay postage and whatever you think a burnt CD is worth.
Thanks!

Hi!
Thanks for the quick response. Im not sure if the driver disk for the ZS will work for my NX. My Redirect option is not visible at all. I have tried changing the sound system all the way from 2.0 to 7.1 and it still isn't there. My FTP server is down for the moment. So, no place to upload it to yet. I can probably get it back up in a day or two.

If i select 5.1 the bass redirection option is selectable as somebody said above are you sure its the proper disk you need?

Hey!
heres another question for you. Did you notice a big difference in the base output once you used the bass redirect?

Well, I guess I'll keep looking for a copy of the disk then.

Thanks
