Audigy 2 FP Connection?

[Reikoshea]

Ive already done a search and ive gotten no direct answer...

Is there away to connect a SB Audigy 2 ES (Does have the expandable thing for the drive bay connector) to the front pannel. I can solder with the best of them, so that will not be a problem. Is there any new information on this, or is it still a dead end?

Little bit more info? Do what to what to make what work?

Every thread i see about connecting the SB Audigy card to the front pannel audio says, "It takes some creative soldering. No one ever goes further than that. I have this really pimp case and i wanna use the front connectors, but i cant use my 5.1 and the front connectors if i use and audigy sound card. What needs to be done to get the audigy to support front pannel audio?

 

[Tazzman]

Makes more sense now!
Question? Why have a 5.1 card and want to use 1 input single imput speaker set up? Unless its has Spdif in front? What speakers you running?

 

[Reikoshea]

oh no, thats not it, I want the front pannel so i can hook my head phones up at lan parties. It gets a little annoying to try to reach around the case from when im gonna do the DJ thing to when im about to listen for the head shots in urban terror. I did however find the way to do it on devhardware. I do thank you for your prompt attention.

This comes up pretty often. MisterX, do you want to post your pic of the pinouts? Do you think I should put it in the FAQ?

 

[Reikoshea]

ill go ahead and photo shop up a definitive picture for it.

Is this pinout consistant for Live! - A2 ZS?

Do you think this question is "frequently asked"?

Only the OEM Audigy and Audigy2 cards have that header

Does once a week qualify?
Cause the same question gets asked about once a week.

Are you sure about that? I've bought an Audigy 2 ZS Gamer and an Audigy 2 ZS Platinum from newegg on seperate occasions, both full retail boxed, and both have the white header on them. Even the picture on the front of the box shows the header.

That's because those are both Audigy 2 cards.
