Well, this can be disregarded. A bit more work on uninstalling all the old drivers cleanly, getting Windows to not auto-install drivers upon boot and using the latest and greatest software from Creative fresh got them working.
If anyone is interested, the Bose Companion 2 speakers are pretty decent, but can sound a little tinny on some music pieces. The bass output from them is very surprising though.

So the other night while playing my speakers finally gave out on my PC. It was coming; they had been fading in and out for a while now and it was just a matter of time before they gave up the ghost. So, last night I ran out and purchased a set of Bose Companion 2 speakers. Very nice and sound great for my purposes. Except, I cannot get the darn things to work.
Here's the situation: I have them plugged into my PC correctly, as when the machine boots up I can hear the wonderful Windows start-up sound. But, after that, nothing. I can get no sound to play from anything; CoH, music, system sounds, anything. If I power down, I do not hear the Windows shut down music. I've had no issues with sounds up to the point of trying to get these speakers to work.
I have a, granted, old Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS card and sound software installed. My previous speakers were a simple 2 speaker setup with a sub-woofer, however the new Bose speakers do not have a sub-woofer; they are just 2 speakers strong.
So, thoughts? I've tried a slew of things in the Sound Blaster sound manager but no luck. I've installed all the updates I can find but still no luck. Any ideas what to try?
