Which one of those should i install?? Creative SB Z

[d1versify]

Hello i just got the Creative Sound Blaster Z and i'm doing a clean windows installation.
I'm currently at my motherboard's official page and there are these drivers.

Should I install any of these before installing the sound blaster drivers??

i would install all latest necessary drivers and get everything working 100% (all good in Device Manager) and window working 100% before you install the SB

Good question, so I'll follow up with a stupid one: does the creative card come with any documentation/install instructions? My first instinct is to say go ahead and install the Realtek driver. My reasoning is that since what you have is an "add-in" card, it may assume that there are already audio drivers installed on the system, so installing over any existing ones shouldn't be an issue. But I will defer to someone with more experience with discrete sound cards...

I though maybe i wouldnt have to install any of these, so they don't interfere with the discrete card. I'm wrong huh?

your mobo devices won't work. you need all of them. then when you install the sb, it will take over, or you may have to end up just disabling the integrated sound (but you should not have to if it works properly)
