The audio processor could mix up to 64 sound channels in hardware, up from 32 channels.

Creative Labs advertised the Audigy as a 24-bit sound card, a controversial marketing claim for a product that did not support end-to-end playback of 24-bit/96 kHz audio streams. The Audigy and shared a similar architectural limitation: the audio transport (DMA engine) was fixed to 16-bit sample precision at 48 kHz. So despite its 24-bit/96 kHz high-resolution DACs, the Audigy's DSP could only process 16-bit/48 kHz audio sources. This fact was not immediately obvious in Creative's literature, and was difficult to ascertain even upon examination of the Audigy's spec sheets. (A resulting class-action settlement with Creative later awarded US customers a 35% discount on Creative products, up to a maximum discount of $65.) Aside from the lack of an end-to-end path for 24-bit audio, Dolby Digital (AC-3) and DTS passthrough (to the digital out) had issues that have never been resolved. First generation break out box Audigy card supports the professional driver interface natively, making it possible to obtain low latencies from (VST) instruments.
Some versions of Audigy featured an external with connectors for,,, analog and optical signals. The ASIO and break out box features were an attempt to tap into the 'home studio' market, with a mainstream product. Sound Blaster Audigy ES [ ] This variant (SB0160) uses the full EMU10K2 chip (CA0100 chip ) and is, as a result, quite similar in feature set.
It is only missing its port. Sound Blaster Audigy SE & Audigy Value [ ] The Audigy SE (SB0570) and Audigy Value (SB0570) are stripped down models, with a less expensive CA0106 audio-controller in place of the EMU10k2. With the CA0106, the SE/Value are limited to software-based EAX 3.0 (upgraded to software-based EAX 4.0 with a driver update), no advanced resolution DVD-Audio Playback, and no Dolby Digital 5.1 or Dolby Digital EX 6.1 playback. With these cards only one of the mic, line in, or AUX sources may be unmuted at a time. The Audigy SE and Audigy Value both carry the SB0570 model number. It is possible that the same card was sold in different markets with different names, that perhaps the cards were sold with one name for a while and later it was changed or it's possible they could even be slightly different cards. The SE is a PCI card in the Audigy family, and still has many unsold units at online retailers unlike the other Audigy cards.
Sound quality Wavetable 64-voice Audio path (ADC): 24 bit @ 96 kHz (DAC): 24 bit @ 96 kHz recording: 16‥24 bit @ 8, 11.025, 16, 22.05, 24, 32, 44.1, 48, 96 kHz Digital path: 24 bit @ 44.1, 48, 96 kHz Sound channels Analog: 2.1, 4.1, 5.1, 6.1, 7.1 and Creative Multi Speaker Surround (CMSS) which means that Audigy SE 7.1 cards can upmix mono or stereo sources to 7.1 channels. Digital: 2.1 Sound Blaster Audigy LS [ ] The Sound Blaster Audigy LS (SB0310) is similar to the Audigy SE in that it supports neither hardware acceleration nor. Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum EX [ ] The Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum EX (SB0090) is similar to the Audigy ES, but supported an external break out box instead of the standard internal version.
It came with a Firewire port and was introduced before the AS models. Sound Blaster Audigy VX [ ] The VX (SB0060) is a PCI card in the Audigy family. [suggestion to readers: the model number listed here is the same number as the cards in the Sound Blaster Live!
Is this a typo?] Second generation [ ] Sound Blaster Audigy 2 series [ ] Sound Blaster Audigy 2 [ ] The Sound Blaster Audigy 2 (SB0240) (September 2002) featured an updated EMU10K2 processor called CA0102 to gain access to CA0151 which is a separate chip. Collectively CA0102 and CA0151 was sometimes referred to as EMU10K2.5 (The CA0102 chip alone is just a version of Emu10k2 ). To address the biggest shortcoming of the original Audigy, a revised DMA engine allowed end-to-end high-resolution (24-bit) audio playback: 96 kHz 6.1 channel recording, and 192 kHz stereo. However, the high-resolution audio was achieved by bypassing the DSP, being decoded directly by CA0151 chip also known as 'p16v' to take advantage of which Creative substituted CA0102 for the old CA0100 used in Audigy 1. Using the DSP with high-resolution audiostreams resulted in the Audigy's characteristic downsampling (to the DSP's native-rate of 48 kHz), for mixing with other audio sources.
