Creative has announced an interesting PCMCIA card option for laptop users who want to bump their audio up a notch. The Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Notebook adds 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound via an SPDIF optical output, as well as 24-bit/192kHz support for high-end audio. For some reason, though, it can’t use the SPDIF output when playing back Windows Media DRM’d files—strange but true.
