Is it possible for an Audigy 2 ZS to somehow take advantage of a 10 band equalizer?

Is it possible for an Audigy 2 ZS to somehow take advantage of a 10 band equalizer? As you know, the stock creative graphic equalizer that ships with the Audigy 2 ZS is only 7 bands.

I have the left and right RCA audio cables from my xbox going into an adapter that converts into a single 1/8" male analog adapter that goes to the line-in of my audigy 2 zs, which I have set to use the 7 band equalizer.

I have a Turtle Beach Montego DDL soundcard which has a 10 band equalizer and sounds better than the Audigy 2 zs, but it does NOT affect the audio from the line-in source as the audigy 2 zs DOES. I can work around this by using a input plugin for Winamp called LineIn plugin v1.80 by Jasper Von De Gronde and also his output plugin called Low-Latency waveOut plugin v1.11. This allows winamp to take the audio from the line-in and then pass it through to the equalizer of the Turtle Beach Montego DDL control panel and also Winamp's own equalizer. It sounds great, but there is a small ~50ms delay which can become annoying. The audigy 2 zs can use its own equalizer but has NO delay and has no need for winamp.

I am new to all of these driver modifications for the audigy 2 zs, so the biggest concern for me: is it possible for an Audigy 2 ZS to somehow take advantage of a 10 band equalizer?

Thank you for your time and I appreciate your help.

You might want to look into using Foobar with ASIO.

ASIO provides a low-latency interface that bypasses the Windows kernel mixer entirely. Foobar has ASIO support via a plugin. It also has a good equalizer. It _should_ work, not sure though :)

You may need to install the universal ASIO4all ASIO driver to make this work, as out-of-box support for ASIO is almost nonexistant for the Audigy2 IIRC.
