About Audigy 2 ZS Notebook

#1 Post by xx86pro » Sun Apr 09, 2006 11:05 am

I want to upgrade my T42's audio system. Indigo is too expensive. I prefer Creative Audigy 2 ZS Notebook. This is a PCMCIA audio card. Does any one use it? Compared to T42's SoundMax, is it much better?

I have never used the PCMCIA version of it, but i do
have the A2 ZS PCI card in my PC and the sound quality is
indeed VERY, VERY good.
The audio detail it produces is phenomenal.
In comparing it to the SoundMax, the
A2 ZS blows it away into little tiny pieces.

I hope that helped you in some way.

And just like ARD, I do not have the PCMCIA version of the Audigy 2 ZS but I have the USB version of it at my house.

I would also have to agree with ARD when saying the audio detial it produces is phenomenal.

I had one (it was recently stolen) in my a31p. You have to listen using headphones - but the drivers are very nice and the software is great. Combine it with intervideo, winamp, and a nice pair of comfy headphones and you'll find that you can't hear the wife and kids just fine! :)

No - in all seriousness - it's a good combination for a latop. Sound is much richer.
