Hi!

This worked for my Creative Audigy 2 ZS and Windows 10 1903 update:

https://extreme.pcgameshardware.de/windows-7-8-1-und-10-windows-allgemein/540331-win-10-update-1903-soundblaster-kein-ton.html?highlight=audigy

Download "Audigy RX Driver" from Creative

Extract all files

Go to the folder "Audio\DriversWin10\wdm"

Right-click "wdma_emu.inf" and select "install"

Restart and enjoy!

Best regards!

Markus

    You have to first download and then Extract the files using some other program such as winzip. Otherwise you get the Instalshield failure every time. After you extract the files, they are then broken down and you can find the audio drivers folder.

    As of March 2020 the wdm.inf file is not there but just click on the install program that shows up in the DriversWin10 file and use that instead.  The program in plain white box says do you want to replace your wdm drivers and you say yes. Then you must reboot. You may get an error saying it did not work. But it worked for me.

    Unfortunately none of the tricks mentioned here worked for my Audigy 1 Digital Entertainment Sound card. Used to work fine with Daniel K's 6.2 Pack. Everything installs fine, tests fine, just the sound does not come out from the ports :(

    I followed the advice in this thread about using the Audigy Fx or Rx driver to get the Audigy 2ZS to work.

    The Control Panel, the driver shows version 6.0.301.56 with date 8/14/2018.
