need oem audigy 2 driver help

[laggerez]

replaced my good ol' TB SC due to sounds cutting in and out in ACES HIGH online flight sim and got an oem audigy 2 I got this card from techsys on FleaBay and installed it last night, it is an oem that is from Gateway originally and it is new and was in a sealed static bag. Gateway has a driver for it and when installed it shows up as an Audigy [de80] not audigy 2 but I suspect that is correct (audigy 2 is imprinted on the main chip on the board) my Problem is I cannot install any of the web driver updates, I get a message that no audigy 2 card is found, I cannot install the drivers from the retail CD either ( I downloaded this) but can install the other apps like eax console etc if I navigate to the proper sub-folder etc.... I'd really like to be able to update the drivers and applications for this card, is there an ini or inf tweak I can try or other work around to get the creative drivers updates to install ??

TIA

There is small chance it can only use Gateway drivers. I heard of such cases with Dell SB Live 5.1 cards. My OEM Audigy 2 that i bought from computer swapmeet took the Audigy 2 drivers from Creative's web site. On the device manager, its not labeled as Audigy 2 but reagular Audigy.

Since I owned the Audigy 1, I could tell the difference between the two quality wise.

mine is also described only as an audigy in dm not AUDIGY 2 kind of bugs me because the gateway drivers are like 2 rev's behind now
