Audigy 1 & 2 pinouts

[raven]

o ok.. my case outs are plugged into the back of my card, (they travel through the inside of my case, and plug into the back with a mini plug).

Ok.. so since i just have an audigy card. Would i still be able to do this mod and get better sound? or would it be pointless since i do not have the 5 1/4" bay thing.?

Yes, and more features.

You'll never have the same sound as a real A2 ZS (unless you break out the soldering iron) because it has better DACs on it. You'll also miss out on DTS-ES.

Thanks for the great post!

I have an Audigy 1 and was wondering which pins to connect my front audio to?

Thanks

Sorry, you can't - only digital in/out is available on the Audigys.

I should update the first post, as the A2 pinout is now known. If anyone wants it look over at Driverheaven.

Successfully soft modded, no headache at all. None at all. If I can do it in 10 minutes at 4 am after a long work shift, it doesn't get much easier.

And yes, you do notice. I have a 5.1 Zalman headset, and had been listening to classical all day, then I softmodded at 4 am, and you can tell.

Now to sleep, wake up, hook it to my Klipsh speakers, and crank it. I would do that now, but, um, it's 4am.

Oh, and this was the first time I strolled into the sound section of OCForums, and it was well worth it!

Edit: Oh, should be stickied.

Successful upgrade!
I noticed a definate improvement in sound quality. the highs are definately brighter, and the bass is a bit crisper. btw.. i am using x-530 logitech speakers.. and they sound fantastic !

I use this card for mastering and mixing stuff into 5.1 from my studio... It' sounds great on my studio monitors!

These are true tone speakers and they are perfectly balanced Highs and Lows (bass and treble) it really shows how good the card is...

 

[lennytiger]

I do vote for a sticky too

Well, I'm now using intel HD Audio (DD Live!) so I'm not really following the creative scene anymore.

I still get a lot of PMs 'tho. If you're looking for more info check out DriverHeaven.

Good luck with all your SB cards Maybe I'll play with one again someday, but not 'til Creative licences some DD Live! action

Hi All,

I have Audigy 2 USB Video Editor, unfortunately the power supply died because of Lightening, is there any way that some good Samaritans come to my rescue and help me with a pin layout of the power supply please.
The DC in at the back is a roundish thing with 3 pins in it, I would really appreciate your advise.

Cheers
Siamak
