Creative Audigy 2/2Z Drivers for Windows 10 1903 - No Sound.

If you are experiencing no sound after updating to 1903 from 1809 or doing a clean install do the following:

  1. If you do not have Daniel K's SB Audigy Series Support Pack 6.2 installed already then download this from:  https://danielkawakami.blogspot.com/2017/01/sb-audigy-series-support-pack-62.html and install using the custom install setting and uncheck the driver setup. Do not install the driver part!
  2. Download these drivers from: https://app.box.com/s/csaeqowda8in6pm4u65p04qm0rdcm18k (they are from the SB RX driver pack and I have not altered them in any way)
  3. Unzip the files and run setup.exe. Alternately, you may install them from Device Manager and find the driver in the WDM folder within the zip file.
  4. Reboot

If you get a BSOD during the driver install portion then do this: 

  1. Reboot into safe mode.
  2. Go into C:\Windows\system32\Drivers and delete ha10kx2k.sys. There is some sort of incompatibility with 1903 and ha10kx2k.sys that seems to cause BSODs.
  3. Reboot.
  4. Install the RX drivers from: https://app.box.com/s/csaeqowda8in6pm4u65p04qm0rdcm18k if you have not already.
  5. Reboot.

I tested this on two different systems and it seems to work. Kudos to Bryan86_HU, mmmarkuss and others who contributed to to this solution.

Its sad that MS can't fix this.
