kx drivers & sound card recommendations

["Tim Hawes" <timsyahoo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I know a few of you use the kx project drivers with Creative sound
cards to
get multi-zone outputs for whole house audio systems. What specific sound
cards do you use, and where did you buy them?

I=92ve only got 2 PCI slots in the machine I=92ve earmarked as the music
se=
rver
so I really need 7.1 channel cards to get the most zones per slot. From the
kx driver compatibility list I think this leaves me the Audigy 2 ZS or
Audigy 2 ZS Platinum cards. Does anyone already use these cards? Any
comments on how they work with the kx drivers and Xlobby?

eBay lists a stack of Audigy 2 ZS cards, mostly from the same seller, used,
and starting at =A31 with a =93free=94 game included. I quite like idea of
=
the
in-built firewire port =96 presumably this appears as a normal port and I
could plug in an external hard drive etc.?

All comments welcome.
