With the Audigy Fx V2 I can hear a sound quality difference right away, even with 2.1
It comes with software that is not intrusive, but the settings are limited.
Sound Modes that give you different presets for the Equalizer. Direct Mode which disables all software presets, nice to have a button for. Scout Mode specifically for dialogue audio for live chat, didn't bother testing.
Initially I did experience some noise feedback from my GPU, even being shielded it was super noticeable with headphones. Seating it further away seems to solved it.
All combos I tried all worked flawlessly, plug and play - Headphones/2.1/3.1/5.1/Optical
I was surprised how easy optical sound was to get working through an external DAC. Picked up the sound right away with the extra DB Pro daughter board, and I've always had tons of issues getting optical working on my ancient sea vessel of a rig. Aye she be puttin' on thee ages, but she's clean as a nun's fanny, and sounds twice as lovely!

With the Audigy Fx V2 I can hear a difference in sound quality right away—even on a 2.1 setup.
The included software is lightweight and non-intrusive, though a bit limited in terms of customization. It offers a few preset Sound Modes for EQ tuning, plus a handy Direct Mode button that disables all enhancements. There’s also Scout Mode (focused on dialogue clarity for chat), but I didn’t really test that.
