Soundblaster Audigy SE poor HF performance   Message List

RE: [softrock40] Re: Soundblaster Audigy SE poor HF performance

If I recall correctly there are two drivers with the Audigy, if you are
using Winrad fro instance and select the 24 bit/ 96 kHz ASIO drivers you
will get the full bandwidth. Basically you appear to be using the wrong
driver.

Have a look at this article it may help.
