Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Power Cable Adap

Help me please. I am lost here and cannot find a similar answered question. I have been using an Audigy 2 SZ Platinum card and box in an older Dell desktop for about two years. This week I bought a new Dell Inspiron 530 desktop and when migrating the Audigy card, I find that it has a 4-Pin Molex power connection. There are no 4-pin receptacles on this new motherboard. What do I need to use? Some sort of adapter, I'm guessing? Thanks in advance. Obliged for any help.

Hello KokChoy-CL.
Many thanks for your support!
I've been reinstalled the drivers and changed the options of your link, now the DTS 5. effects are quite working on my xbox.
Again, thank you!

  • Audigy 2 ZS Platinum: Optical cable doesn't recognize DTS 5.1 on Vista

    Hello!
    This is my first trheat, where I've been search other discussions about this subject, but noyone helpt me.
    I have a Inspire 7. switched on a Audigy 2 ZS Platinum, that has a IO-DIN to connect external features (see here: http://images.americas.creative.com/...large/4659.png)
    Then, I used it to play guitar without problem. But, now I want to switch on my Xbox 360 with optical cable, but it is working only stereo way. When I switch to 5., occrus a?BIP and the sound stay mute.
    My doubt is: the optical in recognize only stereo sounds? How can I get 5. sounds on my xbox 360?
    OBS: The sounds effects on Windows games?and DTS movies are perfect on 5. channels. The problem is concentrad on optical cable only.
    PC configuration:
    Q6600

  • Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro- Breakout Box/ AD_LINK Cable Broke

    I purchased an Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro from Creative's eBay store this past January. It was described as refurbished with a -year warranty. It worked fine for several months under both Windows XP 64-bit and Linux (amd64 arch). Then, the breakout box just stopped working. At first I thought it was a driver issue, so I tried reinstalling everything- no luck. Then I realized that not even the power light came on on the box. I tried putting the card in another PCI slot, rearranging cables.
    I contacted Creative several months ago and after several email arguments and hour-long phone calls, I gave up. They insisted that they only offer 90-day warranties for their ebay auctions... Being so much later, the ebay auction link was dead- no way for me to prove anything. Creative's best offer was to RMA it for $0+shipping or something ridiculous like that.
    I don't want to buy a whole new card because I now it works to some extent- it shows up under 'lspci' in Linux and in Windows Device manager. I suspect it is either the cable or the breakout box but I really have no idea.
    Any way I could test this- and even if, how can I purchase just the box or the cable by themselves- I couldn't find anything online.
    Any ideas?Message Edited by phoneloserchi on 2-22-20072:28 PM

    No, I'm afraid it is not, the X-Fi does not have the same connector for that breakout box.

  • No Power to Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro I/O

    Hi,
    I've just installed an Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro in my computer.
    I have the sound card and software functioning fine from what I can tell, but there is no power to the I/O Hub.
    I have connected the I/O Hub to the sound card using the AD_Link cable. The two connections on each end of the cable are secure in the ports of the I/O Hub and the sound card.
    Does the I/O Hub only turn on by using the remote control? The remote does not turn on the I/O Hub. The battery is properly installed in the remote.
    I don't know if the remote or battery is bad, the I/O Hub is defecti've or I've done something wrong in the installation.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Hi,
    I had one of those a couple of years ago, so I don't remeber very well how it works... Just a few things from the back of my mind to see if I can help you...
    I remember that the I/O bay and the card connected with 2 cables. The falt cable and the SPDIF IO cable. I see only one cable mentioned in your post, so it might be that.
    As far as turning the hub on, no, it isn't turned on by the remote. It should be fully powered and on as soon as your PC boots the sound card.
    But anyway, my bet is that you are missing a cable. You need it with the Audigy 2 but it isn't necessary if you plug the I/O bay to an x-fi.
    Hope this helps?

  • Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro Ad_link Cable

    Hi,? I have the Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro and my Ad_Link cable has been damaged. I have contacted every on line auction house and everyone in and out of the United States and no one has this cable available. What I am looking for now is one of 2 things;? the specs of this cable (which is not listed in any of the documentation that came with the product, nor is it on the web-site, nor does Customer Support seem to have this information), or a comparable cable that will work in it's place.
    Thanks for any help that anyone can offer.
    A very frustrated,

  • Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro, External hub is without power

    This might be a tough one...
    I'm hooking up my external hub for the first time since I've purchased the card (over .5 years ago). I've got the two huge cables (bound together) coming from my sound card to the external hub and, naturally, the black, green and orange cables coming from the sound card on into my S750 sub.
    Am I missing some other cable that powers the external hub? Is it broken if I'm certain I have it connected properly, otherwise?
    I'm pretty sure I've got the right sound card drivers (got them directly off the Creative website--lost my driver CD)... does this look right? (http://www.dieirl.com/temp/soundcard.jpg)

    Have you looked from the User's Guide --> is power cable connected too (one free floppy disc power connector).

  • Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro to front case ja

    Hello everybody!
    Joined the forum to see if I could get this here question figured out. I've done a whole bunch of searching for the issue, stared at my card and manuals for... a long time... and cannot seem to come up with a solution.
    I love Creative Labs, have just ordered an X-Fi Elite Pro and Gigaworks S750 to use on my new PC... and am turning my old PC into a lanparty machine of sorts, so I'd like to be able to use the front headphone/mic jacks without logging around the external I/O device.
    I wish to simply connect my Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro to the stereo headphone and mic jacks built into my case. The pins from the case are arranged in AC'97 form (a rectangle,) but are also split away from eachother, for use in whichever arrangement I need (this is what I assume I'll need to use.)
    I have seen on many forums a white "J" port which can be customized and connected to... however, my Aud2 ZS PlatPro does not have this magical white connector. In fact, I see no connectors that would even appear to be helpful. All I have is a 5pin "Joystick" header, 4pin power connector, 4pin "AUX_IN", and 2pin "CD_SPDIF"
    ...Another option I thought might work for me would be to somehow connect the case pins into the 3.5 stereo jacks on the back of the soundcard... where the speakers would normally go! But how would I go about connecting those dangly female pins to the stereo jack? Simple wire soldering? Would I need fancier electronics?
    Worst case scenario, I'd either have to A) use my mobo's onboard audio... B) get unlazy and reach around my case to plug in.
    Thanks in advance for any light that can be shed on this subject!

    Well - apparantly, nobody know how to fix this...
    Well, I did find a solution... custom made a cable that went from the rear 3.5mm stereo jack into the pin block from the side of the case. Works like a charm, both headphones and mic!
    Just thought I'd give you all an update!

  • SB Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Front Pa

    Hi there, I have recently purchased a SB Audigy 2 ZS Platinum sound card. I am experiencing problems with the platinum dri've. It has power, but only the firewire is working. When I try to connect my guitar to the line-in 2, or headphones to their jacks nothing happens. Also, in my volume control there isn't a Line-in 2 option. It would be much appreciated if you could help me with this problem... thanks

    So, you're saying the surround L/R channels are working? I think we need to know what you're using for speakers. I would suggest swapping some of the cabling around and seeing what results you get from the speaker test. This will often give big clues as to whether the problem is in the speaker system, the soundcard, or the cables.

If it works, do i need to change some settings? Or is there a way i can get sourround sounds through the <B>Z5500</B>? If i cant get sourround sound, never mind. thanks alot.

    The 4 pin connector is plugged in and the larger 4 pin connector is plugged into the power supply but I've got a spare power cable just like it that I want to try and I can't seem to unplug the smaller connector. Is it even possible to do this?

  • Mic2 front panel of sound blaster audigy 2 zs platinum still not worki

    anyone..... please help!!!
    I have a sound blaster audigy 2 zs platinum, everything is hooked up perfectly including all power cable, and connectors to the front dri've bay. I have a samson q7 microphone that is connected using xlr female to /4" plug to the mic2 jack but I got no input signal. I then tried also using just a /4" to /8" to the back mic port of the PCI, no signal either. My friend said this mic doesn't need any other power like a phantom power or anything
    can you please help me!
    X

    If you're using a dynamic microphone, the Audigy 2 ZS dri've bay has a jumper which you can change for it to support dynamic microphones instead of electret microphones. However once this is done you won't be able to use electret mics until you've changed the jumper setting back.

  • Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro Front Panel not functio

    Okay, so I recently bought a new motherboard, processor and ram.
    Upon installing all components, everything works just fine.
    Except my Audigy 2 zs plat pro front panel.
    The power light is on, but it won't recognize ANYTHING plugged in to it.
    It worked just fine on my old set up, so I'm not sure what's going on.
    Here's my current set up;
    Asus A8n SLI Nforce4 socket 939 mobo
    AMD 64 3800+ cpu
    gb Corsair VS
    BFG GeForce 7800 GT graphics card
    Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro (with completely updated drivers, btw)
    The mobo DOES have onboard sound, so I don't know if that would be conflicting with anything, but I can't find any problems anywhere.
    Power is hooked up correctly, and all wires are, too.
    Blah! Any suggestions?Message Edited by iherbie on 2-28-2005 :4 PM

    iherbie,
    I don't have a platinum pro, just a plain Audigy 2 ZS. So I can only offer some general troubleshooting ideas. First, check for IRQ conflicts with other cards. Second, make sure the cable from the card to the front panel is securely seated. Removing and replugging is a quick way to verify this. If you have a multi-meter, you could test the integrity of the cable. Third, removing and reseating the sound card itself, or moving it to another PCI slot would be a good idea. If that doesn't help, then I'd uninstall and reinstall the software and drivers because perhaps front panel functions weren't properly installed the first time. I'm assuming that the rear in/out jacks work, and that the Creative CD that came with your Audigy is compatible with your current version of Windows and service pack, and that you have disabled onboard sound in your BIOS.Message Edited by Katman on 0-07-2006 08:38 PM

  • Audigy 2 ZX Platinum card - internal firewire ca

    Does anyone know where I might purchase an internal firewire cable for the Audigy 2 ZX Platinum card? It is a simple 0 pin female to 0 pin female cable. But not so simple to find!?Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Hello.
    I am having a similar problem:
    When I first installed the card output to speakers worked fine but the Li'veDri've ins and outs did not appear in the mixer, and they of course didn't work either. Also, the remote control application didn't detect the Li'veDri've as the source of the IR.
    After fiddling with the drivers (including doing the AutoUpdate), I shutdown the computer and removed the ribbon, power and firewire cables from the Li'veDri've, unseated my sound card as well as removing the IDE ribbon from it, and booted to Windows. I shutdown the computer again, and reinstalled the sound card and dri've.
    The inputs were added to the mixer and Line In 2 and the Auxiliary 2 work, but the headphone out still does not work at all, and, while the Li'veDri've is detected by the remote application, the remote control still does not work. Regarding that, does anyone else's battery rattle in the remote control, especially when placed on a table?
    I have checked the pins for the ribbon cable on both ends as well as making sure that the cable is firmly seated. I don't know where to go from here but to Creative's warranty services which take a minimum of 2 weeks to complete.
    I also have all of the Creative Apps prevented from loading on startup, do they affect the functionality of the dri've?
    Thanks for any insight,

  • Installing Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro Card into Dell Inspiron

    Hey,
    I have tried to install my old Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro Card into my new Dell Inspiron 530, from my old PC. Although, the power cables have different pins (the PC has a smaller input). Also, where the SPDIF cable etc. goes into the DVD dri've, there are no available slots. What can I do? Sorry if there isn't enough information, I'm really confused.
    Do?newer recording soundcards, such as the elite pro etc. have different cables for newer PC's?

    Are you referring to the floppy power connector? If so, you do not need to plug that in unless you are using external peripherals. Also what do you mean by no available slots? Is the SPDIF connector from the DVD dri've plugged into the motherboard? If so then you can unplug it from there and plug it into the sound card instead since you will be using the sound card to output sound now rather than the onboard sound. Perhaps you could show us some pictures of what you are talking about.

  • Analog inputs no longer working on Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro's external dr

    I have an Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro. After two years of use without problems, the analog inputs on the external dri've have stopped working. I get no signal from them, not even noise. All 3 inputs are silent, Line in / Mic and Line 2 in the front, and Line 3 in the back. Otherwise the dri've appears to function normally - I get output from the headphone jack, and the volume control knob works. I have not tested digital inputs or outputs, as I currently have no digital devices to connect to them.
    I had made no major changes to my computer - software or hardware - when the problems began. I recently added a new SATA hard dri've, but the Audigy dri've did work after that.
    I've taken steps suggested in another thread on this forum and uninstalled all Creative software and drivers, used the latest driver package's uninstall program as well as Driver Cleaner, and finally manually deleted everything related to Creative and Audigy from the system registry (and rebooted quite a few times in between). I then installed the original drivers from the CD that came with the sound card (a setup that has worked before), but still the problem persists.
    Any ideas on where to even begin looking for a solution? I find it hard to believe that it's a hardware problem, since three inputs suddenly went silent at the same time, and no other connections were affected. Yet I've done as clean a reinstall as possible, and that hasn't solved the problem.
    My current computer configuration:
    OS: Windows XP Pro (SP2 and all latest updates)
    CPU: Athlon XP 500+
    RAM: 2x 52 MB
    Motherboard: Abit AN7 (integrated sound chip disabled)
    Video card: Sapphire Radeon 9800 Pro
    Network card: D-Link DFE-530TX
    Hard dri've : Seagate ST320026A, 20 GB IDE
    Hard dri've 2: Maxtor 6L080J4, 80 GB IDE
    Hard dri've 3: Seagate ST330083, 300 GB SATA-II

    I don't have a Platinum Pro or the dri've, but a general hardware troubleshooting step I would take would be to remove the soundcard and either move it to another slot or re-seat it. Also, I'd disconnnect and reconnect all cables to and from the card and the dri've. If I had another machine I could try the card or dri've in, I'd do that. If I could borrow another dri've or even another card, I'd test those too. (Swapping parts is often the simplest diagnostic.) Yeah, maybe it's not a hardware problem, but I'd take these steps just to rule out some possibilities.
    Edit: And if you can remove or disconnect the SATA dri've and restore the system to the condition before you installed it, that's another good test.Message Edited by Katman on 2-8-2005 2:56 AM
