I bought an Audigy 2 card from eBay, and it turned out to be a Gateway
OEM version, and the Audigy 2 installation CD I got from Creative
won't recognize it. Creative told me to get one from Gateway, but
Gateway refuses because I didn't buy a whole system from them.

The Gateway website has only a bare driver, but it doesn't include
anything like the mixer or speaker selector, and isn't upgradeable
from the Creative updates.

Can anyone burn a copy of their Gateway installation CD for me?

Why not email the person you got it from on EBAY and ask for the
CD...they just may have it...or maybe they can burn you a copy of the
system CD...

Unfortunately he doesn't have it. I think he just acquired a bunch of
these cards as OEM stock, and is selling them barebones.

It's frustrating that Gateway won't even sell me the driver CD. I've
managed to get it working pretty well by installing the driver I
downloaded from the Gateway website, and then running the individual
setup programs on the Creative CD for the mixer and speaker selector
and EAX. But it's irritating that I can't run any Creative driver
updates, because they all claim the card doesn't exist.
