It looks like my skepticism has been valid; Softmodding your Audigy 2 into an Audigy 4 provides absolutely no benefit whatsoever, in performance or audio quality. In fact, some games will not detect your card at all (such as PREY). You cannot "turn your Audigy 2 into an Audigy 4" as some people claim. You cannot add DTS support, and you cannot change the DACs and Codecs on the soundcard. The best you can do is fool Windows into calling your Audigy 2 an Audigy 4. Any differences you perceive, whether in video games, movies, or music, is completely fabricated by your mind. In fact, even if you were to directly compare a real Audigy 2 to an Audigy 4, gaming would be identical, and any differences audio quality would be so minute, you would probably need software such as RMAA to detect it.
