Who has a Sound Blaster Audigy Gamer?

[FerrariF50]

I need to know somthing....The reviews are crazy....is it just one card or does it come with two?

This review from gamespot says this:

"The Audigy Gamer hardware doesn't quite all fit on one PCI card. There are so many rear connectors squeezed on the back of the card that Creative had to supply an extension cable and a second PCI bracket to accommodate the MIDI connector and game port."

So does that mean this card comes with a Midi connector on the second bracket?

[Jon]

Yes. Midi port and joystick port are on the extension.

[FerrariF50]

but it's not combined as one like the joystick port is used as a Midi right.... Does it look like this?

[Wicked Klown]

No it don't look like that. I looks just like a gameport. It fits right under the Gamer sound card in the next slot.

[Wicked Klown]

This is what it looks like.

[FerrariF50]

crap...well I guess it only comes on the high end models....Well so what does the card have so it can connect to the Midi device? it's on another bracket but what hooks to the gameport does it come with the cables?

[Wicked Klown]

You can get the Live Drive for it tho. But it will set you back i think like $130.

[Wicked Klown]

This is all you get with it. Plus two games.

What a live drive anyway?

[FerrariF50]

maybe I will just get the Yamaha Usb Midi conectors

[Wicked Klown]

But like I said before you can get this for $129.99 or get the one with remote for $149.99. But it might be cheaper just to get the Platinum or the Platinum Ex.

oh ok... I think I will stick with the Gameport right now...

The prob with the Audigy line is that it's not backwards compatible and they don't sell the Live Drive for it seperately yet. I have both Audigy and 5.1. Only the 5.1 is w/Live drive, but it isn't compatible with the Audigy. So if you want the Audigy and the Live Drive, you have to buy it as a bundle, can't buy them seperately. Also, all of the Audigy cards are the same, the only diff is what progs come with them. The Plat comes with all(both ext and int), the Gamer only has games, and the MP3 only has music oriented progs. But they are the same card so it doesn't matter which one you get unless you are looking for extras.

all those fricken games add up to the price....geeez!
