Audigy platinum pinouts for dri

I have an original Audigy platinum with the connections for a dri've bay - which I did not purchase. My new case allows for a front panel microphone and headphone (as well as other connections) in addition to the back panel ones. After installing the audigy card in it - these connections no longer work =(
Since the dri've bay comes with mircorphoone and headphone outputs - I assume there are appropriate pins on the dri've bay connection that (if identified) - could be connected to my computers froont panel enabeling the use of these with the audigy card and not just the sound system proved with the mobo. Does someone have accurate information about the pinouts for the dri'vebay that are on the Audigy card? And, would you be gracious enough to supply me with this information.
Thanks,
Jim

Greetings again and thank you Jeremy for the fast response - FYI I did look for this information on the web before coming here to post. Based on what I gathered from the article you attached was that: . I could connect my front panel headset connections to pins 0, and 2 ( General purpose output , general purpose output 2 and ground) (or should they go to the ones labeled spdif?) 2. I could connect the microphone connections to pins 5 and 6 (spdif input signal and ground) I hate to be a pain but I really don't feel like messing up anything either and maybe a moment of your time can save me a lot of issues later. Thanks in advance!!! Jim Here is the content from the post so you don't have to go back and look: This is for the Sound Blaster Li've and Sound Blaster Audigy Series Only.

  • Cannot figure out how to enable optical in on an Audigy Platinum w/ Live Dri

    I cant fingure out how to enable the optical in on my audigy
    looked all over, asked a bunch of people. no one knew. manual mentions nothing either. maybe im just stupid and missing something simple....but i dont know.
    thanks for you time.

    Smish,
    There really shouldn't be any enabling required, however you may want to make sure you have the latest drivers installed on you system as they may assist you in getting this working optimally. What are you connecting to the optical in and what kind of signal is it sending?

  • Need application software for Audigy Platinum

    I just re-installed my Audigy Platinum card and dri've into an XP SP3 system, downloaded the latest drivers from Creative and it works just fine (ty Creative!). I even used the optical out connection to my Denon 5. AVR and it sounds great.
    However, I don't have any of the application software and can't seem to download that software from the website without having some old application software already installed. Is there a work around?
    I do have the original disk for the following Creative cards (which I also own):
    Sound Blaster 6 PCI (part # 220ML0003020)
    Sound Blaster Li've!? (part # 220ML0003060)
    Sound Blaster AWE64 (part # 73330530-)
    I'm reluctant to try installing any of the applications from these disks in order to enable the appropriate application software to be downloaded/installed off the web, as I don't want to risk messing up the present clean driver installation. I did try putting the disks in the dvd dri've to see if that would enable the download/install process (this has worked with other products) to no avail.
    I would very much like to have the complete set of applications for this still excellent card/dri've so I can enjoy the full functionality of the Audigy Platinum.
    Any and all assistance will be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you,
    John W. Wright

    THANK YOU FOR THE ISO!!!
    It worked flawlessly.
    However, I did a messy job of installing it. I had installed the beta drivers before using the iso, and then when I installed the CD and its drivers none of the utilities worked. I then tried uninstalling the utilities but the installation stalled and failed repeatedly. Luckily, I had the option to system restore, but it was on a save point in the middle of installation. So its a pretty sloppy job.
    One thing: when switching between modules (EQ, or volume control, or EAX); there is a 6 second wait.
    Also, EAX reverb does not work well on Soundfonts (very faint reverb, but definetely not sufficient).
    But thank you very much for saving my life.

  • Audigy Platinum only records at 48k 16 bit in Sound For

    Can someone please tell me what i'm doing that's so stupid? I'm trying to use Sound Forge to record my DJ sets through my Audigy Platinum, but for some reason Sound Forge will only let me record at 48k 6 bit sample rate, and the monitoring is almost impossible - most of the time I get terrible feedback destroying my ears! If I then save something I've recorded as a 44.k wav file or a mp3 file, the sound blaster wont play it at all.
    I've moved the Audigy from an older PC that died on me, and I didn't have the original disc (from 4 years ago) so I downloaded the drivers from the web, but it doesn't seem to be working too well.
    Any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong?
    Cheers.

    Ok, I have some more info in this. I can get Soundforge to work when it uses the Windows Sound Mapper, but not the Creative Asio driver. DOes this help? Does it matter which one Sound Forge uses?
    Please help!
    Your card supports ASIO only @ 6-bit/48 kHz (hard locked).
    Are there other driver modes listed (MME Audigy, DS Audigy, DirectX)?
    If 6/48 with ASIO is not enough, then use DS Audigy if possible.

  • Dear Jeremy-CL ! Please help me with SB1394 Audigy Platinum ex issue

    I have an Audigy Platinum Ex for 4 years and very satisfied . But now i had to install Windows XP SP2 .My firewire sb394 began malfunction with Premier Pro ,5 . Under Windows XP SP everything goes well . With rear motherboard FireWire connector everything works well , but not so comfort like using external Dri've . How can I resolve this problem ? And is it possible to connect internal sb394 cable from Audigy Platinum ex Dri've , to motherboard ASUS P4P800E deluxe internal connector ? It seems to me that they are similar . Best regards from Russia / thank you ! Alexander

    You can try this if you have nerves to do it:
    . Get Windows XP SP install CD
    2. Find following files and uncompress them if necessary
    - 394bus.sys (5..2600.06 xpsp.020828-920)
    - arp394.sys (5..2600.06 xpsp.020828-920)
    - enum394.sys (5..2600.0)
    - nic394.sys (5..2600.06 xpsp.020828-920)
    - ohci394.sys (5..2600.06 xpsp.020828-920)
    - 394.inf (5..2535.0)
    3. Open command prompt, type sfc /purgecache and press enter key
    4. Copy file 394.inf to C:\WINDOWS\INF overwriting existing file
    5. Copy files with names ending in .sys to C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache
    6. Copy all .sys files to C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers overwriting existing files
    7. If windows asks for CD cancel it to prevent it to restore files
    8. Double check if the files you copied are still there and if not repeat from step 3 until you get it right
    9. Uninstall firewire adapter from device manager
    0. Reboot and pray
    Basically that should force your XP SP2 to use Firewire drivers from XP SP. It may not work (I haven't tried it) and it may trash your machine leading to reinstallation but it may also fix things for you. Let me know if it worked.

  • Using an Audigy Platinum Live Drive bay with Windows 7

    6Using an Audigy Platinum Li've Dri've bay with Windows 7` I bought this card/bay a long time ago:

    Unfortunately the Li've Dri've panel, which was pretty much the entire reason I bought it, hasn't worked since I installed Windows XP years ago. Now I'm up to W7 64 bit and I'm wondering if there's any use trying to reinstall the hardware and make it work or if I should just get rid of it.
    In XP and possibly in Vista I could get basic functions out of the card, but the EAX control panel didn't really work anymore. I used to use the remote control, plug in my guitar and use effects, etc. I'd really like to be able to do that again. Anyone know?

  • Can breakaway box from Audigy Platinum eX connect to Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium HD?

    I have been happily using the Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum eX for a decade or so but it is now time to build a new box. The Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium HD seems to be the card for me and it does have a multi-pin connection that seems to match the one on the legacy card. The legacy card has the best external box I have yet seen, the perfect combination of inputs, outputs, and controls and I would dearly love to keep using it. Does anyone know if the two items are compatible?

    Thanks, I was afraid that might be the case. Would the legacy card work with Windows 7 perhaps or has the audio stack changed too drastically from Windows XP to Windows 7? I am loathe to give up this breakaway box, I have never seen another with this many i/o ports and features.

  • Pinout for Audigy platinum Ex Dr

    Does anybody know the pinout for the 44 pin D-Sub found on the back of the Audigy platinum Ex dri've?
    I'm trying to build a cable to connect the dri've directly to my card, as I don't seem to be able to buy the daughter card (SB00b) anywhere.

    Only that can be found is pinout table for AUD_EXT, but it's not 44 pin but 40 pin connector. You can find it from Creative Support/KnowledgeBase by searching AUD_EXT.

  • Gameport header pinout for Audigy M

    Hey everyone, I could use a little help. I have the Audigy MP3+ soundcard, but I've lost my gameport /MIDI connector for it. Does anyone have the pinout for teh connector on the sound card itself so I can make a new one? Or know how I can go about getting a new connector and bracket. (bracket not really nessecary) I'm fairly good at soldering and have the parts to do it, and while they have the pinout for the connector itself, nothing is listed for the connector on the board. ANy help is appreciated.

  • Connecting Audigy 2 ZS card to an Audigy Platinum EX 'Audigy Dri

    I would like to connect the 'Audigy Dri've' from my Audigy Platinum EX setup to my new Audigy 2 ZS card. It seems to be physically possible - connect the Audigy 2 ZS to the Platinum EX's expansion card with the AD_EXT cable, then the expansion card to the Platinum dri've with the DS cable (I haven't looked into power supply connection issues yet). I'm wondering if there's any fundemental incompatibility between the two despite the possibility of physical connectivity. Anyone have any ideas?
    Cheers,

    It looks like someone asked something similar about a year or so ago, and a moderator stated simply 'no'. Any explanation of why?

  • Replacement for Inspire 5700 + Creative Audigy Platinum

    Hi,
    for many years I have been using a combination of a Creative Audigy Platinum soundcard with a Creative Inspire 5.1 Digital 5700 speaker system. I am very pleased with the quality, compatibility and easy-to-useness of this system. For games and music, I let the soundcard do the decoding and send the bits via digital connection to the Inspire system, which I set to 5.1 DIN. For DVDs, I send everything via SPDIF and let the Inspire do the decoding, either DTS or Dolby digital. Works just perfectly.
    Only problem: if everything works according to the plan, I will move from Europe to the States in two months and stay there for - 3 years. Because desktop computers and probably also my Inspire 5700 system are quite tricky to ship, I decided to buy a laptop here and buy another speaker system by creative after I have a arrived in the states. Full of anticipation I checked this site to choose my future system and ... was struck by shock:
    I couldn't find any system which offered the same features as the Digital 5700! All modern systems lack digital input, leave alone an external decoder and have primitive wire-remotes instead of real remotes! Why has this kind of great system disappeared? Of course you cannot buy the good old 5700 anymore, which leaves me with a great problem of how to organize a system which offers similar quality and features.
    I originally planned to connect my laptop (ASUS A8JS) via S/PDIF to the new inspire 5.1 speaker set, which would then do the job of decoding digital audiostreams coming from DVDs. But well, since the new Inspire sets neither support S/PDIF nor offer external decoding, that idea has been flushed down the toilet
    What do you recommend instead? I guess I will need a USB Sound Blaster in combo with an inspire speaker set. What will provide the same quality to what I had? What are the drawbacks of not having digital connections any more? How can I control sound levels of the subwoofer, center and rearspeakers, if there is no external decoder anymore? Only via software?
    Thank you very much for any advice!

    Thank you very much for your helpful replies! Future looks much brighter now
    Where have you found the Audigy 2 NX? On their webpage, creative only list the USB Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Video Editor or the Sound Blaster Live! 24-bit External as USB-solutions. Since I don't need the video editing capability, the Audigy 2 ZS would probably be quite an overkill. Still, the price difference between Audigy ($250) and Life! ($50) is ... drastic! Besides the video stuff and some connections, what else is the Life! solution missing? Does it have poor quality? Is there no real 3D sound, just some kind of upmixing? It's not very clear from the specifications.
    The Logitech Z-5500 Digital looks very promising, too. A consequent improvement of the Inspire D-5700, just by the competition I may go for that one, but probably still need an external soundcard for 3D-sound in games.
    I am not exactly an expert considering connections. So, my laptop will already have digital S/PDIF built into the headphone plug. Just from the look, I'd say this is the same kind of plug which is called "Analog/Digital-Out" on my old Audigy sound card. Now, the logitech system supports digital optical or digital coaxial as source input. Will this work with the S/PDIF headphone out, or would it require the DIN connection you mentionned? Could this be easily solved by buying an adaptor?
    Looking at the picture showing the connections of the SB Life! I again am not clear at all what kind of connections there are (http://us.creative.com/products/prod...Specifications ). Is there anything compatible with the Logitech system? I guess it's no question the Audigy2 ZS is equipped with the required connections.
    So, to summarize my question: could I digitally connect either my laptop or the SB Live! 24-bit external with the Logitech Z-5500, so that the latter would take care of decoding Dolby Digital and DTS sound, while the sound blaster would provide EAX and 3D sound for games?
    I have also seen that Creative Labs still offers an external decoder with a lot of connection possibilities. It's just no longer part of a speaker system, but rather a standalone product: the Creative Decoder DDTS-100 for $30. Together with a good speaker system, this may be an alternative to the logitech solution, in terms of enabling to plug in other devices than just a computer (another thing I really loved about my old system).
    Well, again thank you very much for your advice!

  • Power splitter for Audigy Platinum

    Hi, I've had a platinum ex for a long time. I upgraded my computer, including my PSU recently, and now I can't find the splitter cable for the expansion card anywhere. Does anyone know if I can get a replacement? Also, I heard that you can use a floppy dri've connector instead, but when I tried connecting one to the expansion card, it just slipped off, the pins seemed to match the slots on the connector, but the connection was loose and didn't seem right. Can anyone help?

    Thanks! I still can't get the connector to stay in normally, but I just wrapped some sellotape around to keep it in and everything works fine.
    ...the weird thing is it used to work without it. The pins don't seem bent or anything, the floppy connectors just won't stay on. Still, it works, that's what matters! Thanks again!

  • Black Face Plate for Audigy Platinum

    Hi. I searched this topic and it didn't look good, but wanted to further verify if anyone has ever found exhangable face plates for Audigy Platinum. I'm switching to a black Lian Li case and my white face plate looks kinda rediculous! Thanks.

    You may laugh, but you can detach the plate, and spray paint it very quickly. I did this with my first i/o bay and finished it off with a nice glossy lacquer. It looks great to this day!? I later did the same with an Audigy bay.

  • 10dB boost for LFE an Audigy Platinum (hard- or software)?

    ; I read that the Audigy Platinums LFE channel?has 0dB less volume then the rest, and is therefore not working correctly on non creative sound systems.
    So how can i give?my LFE signal?a 0dB boost? Any simple hard oder software solutions?

    icke wrote:
    The Teufels Bass controller is at 00%.
    You're probably one of the many folks who like artificially-boosted bass.
    Bass redirection is not the issue, its [sic] turned on..that the LFE signal is to [sic] weak is the problem.
    The bass redirection feature extracts the frequencies below the cutoff frequency from the non-sub channels, reduces them -0dB, mixes them together with the LFE signal obtained from DD/DTS sources, and outputs the mixture from the output jacks as the subwoofer output. This causes the extracted bass and any LFE signal to match without driving the line-level output past 0dB, so that the subwoofer output behaves as a LFE-level output rather than a line-level one. Otherwise any LFE signal above -0dB would get clipped at full line-level settings. Note that basically unless you are listening to a DVD, there is no LFE signal involved, but that the extracted bass is still reduced in volume.
    Back to a external or software solution please.
    If you like cranked bass and treble, use the soundcard's equalizer (or treble/bass controls) to accomplish this. It is best to shape this curve by leaving the "ends" at 0db, reducing the middle frequencies to get what you're after, and just turn up the speaker system to get the loudness you want (settings above 0dB can cause clipping if the soundcard is set up to output line-level).
    Can i get Audigy 2 drivers to work with the audigy ?
    Probably, but I'm not particularly expert on that, and it has nothing to do with your question.
