Reviews on Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS
Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS
Strengths: THX certified... eax 7.1 audio what else could you ask for? 108db
Weakness: nothing yet =)

Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS
Strengths: Crystal Clear Sound, Great SNR.
Weakness: No good drivers.
I bought this Sound Card about a month ago and this card rocks. Even though the drivers of this card are not very good the live updates do some good. I upgraded from a Creative Live 5.1 sound card, and I fell a big difference in sound. The games work great with this card like Call Of Duty makes my room a battlefield with sounds coming from the back and front and everywhere you can imagine of. I...
Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS
Strengths: Features included compared to prcice
Weakness: You have to know how to deal with the software installed to get the maximum results+ I didn't like the games included
If you are an enthusiaist gamer and/or listener and would not expect less than perfect, with a reasonable amount of money I would say this is the card that you are looking for, because this is the same card in the Pro & platnium versions with the excpetions that the later ones include more i/o options..plus the pro & platinum are much more expensive. My previous soud card was a mother board built...
Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS
Strengths: Sound quality is flawless, 5.1 support, EAX, morphing!
Weakness: None come to mind
Well it may just be me, but I actually did notice that my music and games sound just slightly clearer with the Audigy 2 ZS over my old Live x-gamer. I like all the new configuration applications, they've clearly put a lot of effort into making easy to use, good looking programs to tune every part of your sound card to your liking. They're much more polished than the old live apps. The EAX...
Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS
Strengths: I need this for karaoke and it perfect. Sound great especially watching DVD
Weakness: More Input will be greater and feature to RR or LL
When I had built my first computer, I had a Motherboard that had built-in Sound & Video. I disabled both Sound and Video and put in my own Video Card; the Sound Card I chose was a Sound Blaster Live Platinum 5.1.I've up-graded Motherboard,Video and now Sound to the Audigy 2 zs Platinum. It's Built from the same tech that my card has with sweet added features; Like 24 Bit vs. 16 Bit,instead of...
Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS
Strengths: Great Sound, dts decoding
Weakness: poor i/o options
The Audigy 2 zs is a wonderful sounding card. It makes movies playing through my computer with my Klipsh Promedia 5.1 ultra sound as good or better than my yamaha speakers running on my Sony ES 555 dts receiver. The downside to the board is that they don't have any options for optical in or out. I had originally purchased the card to build a media center pc. The core components being an ATI all...
Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS
Strengths: Great sound, decent game bundle.
Weakness: Only the price. This is a pretty expensive card, especially compared to something like the Chaintech AV-710. But you’re getting plenty of bang for your buck with the ZS.
I know a lot of people complain about Creative software, but I don’t see any problems with the ZS. You can keep the software completely minimal if that’s what you want to do. If you do install everything, there will be a few programs loading (unnecessarily) at start-up; but that is easily taken care of with msconfig. As for the performance and quality of this card, I have no complaints....
Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS
Strengths: - 24bit!!! - THX certified. - 108dB SNR clarity across 8 channels. - Acoustic enhancements. - 7.1 surround audio in games and movies and supports Dolby Digital EX and DTS-ES.
Weakness: None so far.
I am very pleased with this sound card. My games sound great with it outputting to my 5.1 speakers. Very crisp sounds with 108db clarity. It comes with many features to fine tune your settings to your preference from changing environmental effects to determining the distance and angle of your speakers for the best acoustical sounds. I would highly recommend this product.
Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS
Strengths: Excellent Sound Quality, Very Clean Signal, Massive Software Suite, Firewire Port.
Weakness: Very little innovation since the Audigy 1, latest driver update is buggy, Creative's commitment to continuing support leaves a lot to be desired.
Upgraded from an Audigy 1 and didn't notice any difference (not that I was expecting much). Unfortunately, there have been very few physical changes between the Audigy 1, Audigy 2, and Audigy 2 ZS. Most of the changes are in the drivers & software. With that said, this is an excellent soundcard. Sound quality is wonderful and many of the applications are very useful. EAX is is a pretty amazing...

TopCreative Audigy 2 ZS Notebook: High-end Sound in a CardBus Slot
The basic version of this new Audigy is a PCI card on its own. It is fitted with all the necessary connections with the exception of the MIDI/games, which are installed on a separate card in the now-standard format. For many users who don't use MIDI and attach their games connectors through the USB port, this socket is useless so you could discard it; there's no point in cluttering up your PC...
TopCreative SoundBlaster Audigy 2 ZS review
The Audigy 2 ZS currently remains as Creative’s flagship product, sensibly named after the original Audigy 2, the card has received a number upgrades and added features however change hasn’t been drastic enough to force over a new generation. Among the new features offered in the ZS we have true support for 7.1-channels, THX certification, DTS ES support (along with Dolby EX which was already...

Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS
Strengths: 24bit/96khz, Creative Media software good organizer and MP3 ripper, Firewire port, Tomb Raider, Rainbow6 software included
Weakness: None
The sound-card filled all my needs, providing 24bit/96khz recording ability which I'm using with Cakewalk. I also use the Firewire port to get my Sony Digital8 camcorder movies into the computer. The software that comes with it is very well thought out, particularly when it comes to ripping MP3's from CDs you own: Gives you good control over quality and file naming. Tomb Raider and Rainbow6 are...
