This information was taken from the kX Project Frequently Asked Questions Page, and is slightly out of date.
All Audigy 2 Soundcard are now supported

Note: If you have a Dell 5.1 card, or Audigy LS or any external soundblaster, these are unsupported as they do not use the 10k1/10k2 chips which the supported cards use.

System Requirements

Windows Versions

Also you need a version of Microsoft Windows, the following information was taken from kX Project Frequently Asked Questions Page.

"The kX driver conforms to the WDM (Windows Driver Model) specification and is therefore compatible with the following Microsoft Windows operating systems: Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows 98 (Second Edition only), and Windows Me. Windows .NET Server 2003 may also be supported, however, this has not been tested. Windows 98 (First Edition) will not be supported since it has no built-in support for WDM drivers (v1.1 or later)."

One kX user has tested kX to be compatible with the Windows Longhorn Beta, information here.
