Ok, I've just reformatted my computer and I'm trying to install my Audigy 2 NX. However, I can't find my installation cd, and none of the updates on the Creative website will work unless I've first installed the drivers off the cd. Anyone have any suggestions? Anyone know how I can get the drivers from the cd? Any other options besides using the Creative drivers? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Contact Creative for replacement CD would be an option.

I have the full installation files with apps etc. Its 172mb RAR file
Ill upload it to my ftp if no one else can help, but will take me an hour or so

If you running Win2K or XP?

This is a self extracting file about 9MB
It's the core drivers not the full cd.
Just click on 'CTZAPXX.exe' to start the Creative Device Driver Installation Program.
That's it.

Yes bu they won't work unless you have the original CD (Audigy 2/4's). I think the latest update could work without the CD but you only get core functionality.

This is the FULL cd

ManroWeb: Thanks for the cd smile.gif

Btw, before i found this cd i realized that you dont really need it.
You can just go to creative site, choose drivers - autoupdate (IE only) - get the main drivers to get you card working.

AND you can still change settings without all the extra software by running
C:\Program Files\Creative\SBAudigy2\Program\WDM\COMMON\CtPanel.exe
this can set EAX and speaker settings wink.gif

I just registered on this site to say thank you. I lost my CD about 4 months ago, and my Audigy has just been collecting dust. It's installing now!

PS: The rar file I downloaded had a CRC error... not sure if it was just my connection. Anyways WinRAR repair fixed it...

Yes i am aware of this. Using the CD install adds everything into control panel, and gives you all the audigy/audigy 2 apps

Someone else had a problem with corruption. It was only a sample wav file which was corrupt. I may re compress and upload again. But many people have successfully used this without any problem

Hi:

I am in the same position. I bought my Audigy 2 NX from eBay, and it came without the Application CD. I went to the link on this post, but the CD wasn't there any more. Is there any chance that you could put it up there for me to snag it? I would really appreciate it.

Thanks
raungst
Hehe. I'm in the same position too smile.gif Any chance you could reupload it? I have the audigy 2 zs. Thanks biggrin.gif
itsnotmeeee
As someone from Neowin reported to Creative that i was hosting this file, i was forced to remove it under copyright laws

I cannot re host it.
If you want it then i suggest contacting creative for replacement cd, or alternative search

Contact me via pm for further query

hi my name is zakk
i lost my audigy nx installation cd and creative customer service is not helpful about this problem and i desperately need the cd.is it possible that you send the 172mb cd file to my email?i would really appreciate it alot.my email is thealchemist77@gmail.com
ActuaryTm
Contacted ManroWeb to no avail, unfortunately.

I have created a temporary FTP space with roughly 20GB-30GBs of bandwidth or so. If someone would be kind enough to provide the original download, it may aid those searching for a solution to this issue.
Meshuggah
I'm currently uploading it to ActuaryTM. it will be there in about 4 hours, so anyone needing it better hurry and pick it up before that guy contact's Creative again.

I find it ridiculous that someone would report this, especially since its not like we have stolen hardware, we just have a ****** up disc. why should i ask creative for one and have to pay a fee?

That's ridicolous, they have TERRIBLE support, so screw them.

This file is not 172mb however, this is the full iso, with no CRC errors.

the filesize is 549.14mb
Meshuggah
Uploaded....ATM should be posting soon....

I forgot who gave this to me but it was from someone in neowin, possibly bang bang? not sure, can't remember, but it's the same retail one as the green disc you get with the audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro

Enjoy when he gives out the info! (if anyone even needs it to begin with besides him, heh)

Many many thanks, Meshuggah.

Beginning the download now. Will likely compress the disc image (if possible), and upload the result.

If anyone is interested in obtaining information on how to receive the data being spoken of, feel free to contact me for the login creditentials.
ActuaryTm
Initial download successful, and checked against Meshuggah's original.

Compressed the image (from 550MB to 400MB), and am uploading the result. Will be a .RAR archive consisting of 9 volumes, and a file verification file.

For those of you who have already sent messages, I will PM the login credentials once the upload is complete.

Many thanks again, Meshuggah.
ActuaryTm
Upload now complete, and all private messages have been sent.

If for any reason you did not receive a response, please post in this thread.

ok, i'm not sure exactly how to use this file now. I already installed Mediasource, but I''m missing the surround mixer, EAX console, etc. All i have is Creative Audio converter and Creative Mediasource Player. Is there a way you can install them off the CD without going through the installshield program
Meshuggah
i dont think so, you might have to just reinstall everything

Just to let everyone looking for the Audigy 2 NX install cd, the one currently being passed around on this forum is for the Audigy 2 ZS Platinum. While some of it's applications do work for the NX, it doesn't have the specific apps that work with the NX. The one main thing that I noticed was missing was the speaker volume control (change volume of each individual speaker). However, this feature is available in the NX install cd, along with the original drivers. Fortunately for everyone here, the Soundblaster Audigy 2 NX install cd is currently being released on eMule (eDonkey network)

Here is the ED2K link (you need eMule, eDonkey, or Shareaza to open it):

ed2k://|file|Creative%20Soundblaster%20Audigy%202%20NX%20USB%20Install%20and%20Software%20CD.zip|317806403|A704BB545AF3DA73E4866D9D51A4BD02|h=PWLI3AQJHAY2OVYXVI6MP2ZENVMT75TX|/

Perhaps someone here can host it on FTP once it's done?

Using eMule, do you have to be connected to any server in particular?

I've actually ordered the install cd from creative's shop http://uk.europe.creative.com/shop/product.asp?prod=547, but it's still not been delivered (ordered 2 weeks ago). If I either download it or receive the CD i'll make it available on my pc for emule transfer.
