I am now back in commission after a short Christmas break where I spent a few days trying to survive 43c degree days with family and friends up north...or further north of Australia than I usually am located. Good to see Chris and Jonathan kept you up-to-date for the most part.

Just as I rip open the packaging of my sweet new Audigy 2 Platinum sound card and install bundled CDROM drivers, wouldn't you know - Creative go and release a bunch of new drivers for all three versions of the new Audigy 2 series which claim to include enhancements and fixes to improve performance. Looks like I've got quite a few MB of downloading to be done.

This web update contains Creative MediaSource enhancements and fixes to improve the performance of your Creative Sound Blaster® Audigy™ 2, Audigy 2 Digital Audio and Audigy 2 Platinum.
