A friend of mine Matt knows an old friend who now works for Creative's sound department and says that Audigy3 will have twice the raw Mips of Audigy2 bringing it to 8000Mips. Audigy3 appearently has 7.1 support now but appearently still doesnt support DTS.

Man, I was really hoping to here him say something about DTS. Has anyone else heard about DTS from Creative at all??

There probably won't be an Audigy 3 till 2005, seeing as how Creative tends to wait at least 18 months betweem product releases. Most likely it will be a PCI Express card, too. :)

But Live! Platinum, Live! Platinum 5.1, Audigy1 and Audigy2 have all been tweleve months apart from each other.

This time last year, Audigy2 was about as known as the Audigy III.

Dont worry Grunjee. Knowing Creatives track record, they'll still come up with a PCI or PCI Express standard of thier own to cause problems. It will still be better to go with something other then Creative. :)
 
I have the Audigy 2 w/ live drive and cannot complain about it much. I enjoy being able to play my synth and guitar on it. I have had a few probs with the drivers tho. Any one have any idea if there are better ones that can be downloaded?

Thanx for ANY info.

My Audigy has given no problems at all (other than wigging out when my PSU was on the fitz). No problems with any older sound cards from them either (owned Creative since the original Sound Blaster), so will be sticking with them till given a bloody good reason to change. Very interested in the Audigy III....
