Re: Will my Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS work in REW?


Is it this one:

http://www.extremetech.com/article2/...1382134,00.asp

or this one:

http://www.extremetech.com/article2/...1684450,00.asp

If it's either of those, I believe it will work, as both seem to have a line-in input. If you are using PCMCIA card, I believe the input is described as a mic/line-level input, so you will have to select it to be line-level in your software. Anyway, that's the big deal -- does it have a line-level input? And it appears from my quick research on the web that both of those do, so you should be OK.

As OTTO says........... which model is it???

You can use digital out, but you can't create a soundcard calibration file, which makes the results less accurate...

Hi Bob,

I believe both have analog outs. The non-laptop model lists its outputs at 7.1 and coax S/PDIF. I believe the PCMCIA card listed it as having a 1/8" jack that serves as both analog and optical out. I think it will work for you. Using digital out won't be the end of the world, but, as brucek correctly points out, you won't be able to do a sound card cal.

Jerm357, How do you have this setup with the PCMCIA card...
I would like to use this as well, so I don't have a bunch of chords and pieces running around... I'll be buying a Galaxy CM140 to get this going as well...
