The emupia2k.sys process is a system file that is encoded with program logic compilation specifications normally implemented into source code stored in the SYS file format. The emupia2k.sys file is bundled with the e-Mu Plug-in Architecture Driver applet, which is a program that is bundled with the firmware and driver software resources packaged with certain hardware components and devices from Creative Technology. The emupia2k.sys file is referenced by the system when a user accesses certain features that correspond to the integrated set of functionalities of the e-Mu Plug-in Architecture Driver applet, which mainly consist of features for detecting and monitoring the I/O ports of the supported Creative hardware component or device. This is done by the system upon request by the driver and firmware resources of the compatible Creative hardware component or device. The driver software and firmware resources of supported Creative devices or hardware components communicate with the system when a user requests for access to the features of the Creative hardware device, in order for the Creative device to perform the requested operations of the user.
