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

    "Permanent solution"? No, you linked to a thread that said "go check Creative Labs' support site." The issue still persists, the 1903 update breaks Audigy 2 playback, and while the card is old, there was no indication that audio playback would be broken after the 1903 update.

    Hi!

    You can use for example 7zip to extract the exe-file by right-clicking on it and selecting "extract to"...

    Yours sincerely,

    Markus

    I downloaded the file,  [ SBA5_PCDRV_L11_3_01_0056B.exe ] but it is a .exe file , self extracts then goes to Instalshield, and falls over because the RX  card is not present. How did you get to the  requisite file -

    Go to the folder "Audio\DriversWin10\wdm"

    Right-click "wdma_emu.inf"

    A search across the whole computer only found old files.

    Your assistance would be appreciated
