Sound Blaster Audigy Review
Sound Blaster Audigy Review
It's been years since we've seen a new sound card platform from Creative Labs, the monster behind the Sound Blaster phenomenon. Apparently, they haven't been resting on their laurels. The Sound Blaster Audigy doesn't get the launch campaign of the Live! it replaces, but that doesn't mean it's not worth celebrating! We put the Audigy through its paces to see if it helps Creative recapture the sound card crown!
