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.

    Hi Markus, the driver you mentioned works perfectly, but I lost connection to the console? I can't use my microphone or any command from the console. Do you know what can be possible? Should I set up the original Audigy 2 zs platinum pro original disk drivers first? Before I apply the RX driver? Thank you for your help!!!!

    Thank you for sharing this info. I nearly scrapped a perfectly good card and front bay!

    Worked a treat!

    Great!! First time I was able to actually post help instead of asking for it and it was helpful to you.  That's cool.
