GPL on XP and Live!

Hi All, I am aware of the issues GPL has running on a Sound Blaster Live! But what I don't know is whether these same issues are true for the Audigy and Audigy 2 series. Can anyone confirm if this is the case? I am looking to upgrade my Live! and don't want to introduce a new set of GPL issues... Thanks, Murray

From what I've read the Audigy can suffer the same problems as the Live, but the Audigy2 should be okay. I haven't tried either myself though. Malc.

Friend has GPL & Audigy on WinXP (up from SBlive) .No probs regards frame rates or sound.Myself had lot of probs with SBlive(sound crackles ,dropouts and losing like 8 or 9 fps in GPL).Since upgraded to Epox NF2 8RDA+ using onboard sound and its very good -- Steve H GPL Rank -13.90 Can't help about the shape i'm in Can't win,it ain't pretty and my tires are thin..

You should be fine with Audigy 2. I spent *ages* trying to reslolve the Live issue but never managed it. Bought a Fotissimo III to replace it which introduced game stutters and only partially resolved sound problems. Tore my hair out for an entire weekend with that one. Eventually went with Audigy 2 and things have been flawless so far. Regards, Mark Davison OVAL Deputy Admin Car #69 http://www.markdavison.clara.net/OVAL/

I've been running GPL on my new xp system with an Audigy for 4 months now and GPL is just fine and dandy. Just make sure you'rve installed the latest livewire drivers and don't just use the ones XP puts on. Some Call Me Tim

After all of that I spotted a Philips Seismic 5.1 on eBay brand new and about 40% under what I can buy them for wholesale (or a plain Audigy DE)... I figure if it does not do the job I can just sell it on eBay and upgrade to the Audigy DE. Thanks...
