Are you looking to use the analog outputs or the digital output?

analog for multi-zone

If you are planning on using the KXDrivers, according to their website, that card is currently not supported. See the link for supported/unsupported cards:

That is not to say that one day the card will be supported by those drivers, just now right now.

Hope this was helpful.

I was just wondering if it would work without hacked drivers.

Yes, it will work as a second audio card/zone. If you wanted only digital out then there are better cheaper options, but for analog out that's a good choice. I'm not sure if the card supports multiple zones in and of itself. I'll look around and see if I see anything.
