Audigy XP dirvers?
From the Firingsquad. com Review: One of the great things about the Audigy is its support for Windows XP right out of the box. Included are drivers for users of Microsoft OSes. Where did they find these?.

I used the Win 2000 drivers in XP, and it "worked" but not satisfactory. the sound crackles all teh time. damn creative. they said xp drivers will be out in october, but they didn't even list win2000 drivers on their site YET!
The reason why the Audigy doesn't work in 24 bit mode with the MAD plugin is simple. The audigy only works at 24 bit on the EXTERNAL DACs, all calculations are still done at 16 bit internally.
Only the DACs are at 24bits... pretty much a cop out with the way creative is crapping on about '24bit' resolution especially when the audigy doesn't even do 24 bit!
To recap only the DACs on the audigy are 24bit NOT the audigy chip itselft. All calculations are performed at 16 bit, hence the mad plugin won't work...
Get a Delta DIO or something if you want true 24bit precision

This is in regards to the post suggesting that the DeltaDiO does 24/96 under win2k /WinXP. WHile the Delta series cards are true 24/96, this functionality is generally unavaliable under 2k/XP except for specific programs.
From the M-Audio website:
Windows 2000 WDM Candidate Drivers
For Delta Series-Delta 1010, Delta 66, Delta 44, Delta DiO, and Audiophile 2496. You will be limited to 16 bit stereo input or output with non ASIO based applications.
getting a good 24/96 card that works well under the WDM model is proving to be pretty difficult :-(
For the money, the audigy is still likely the way to go.
