Low-Profile SPDIF

Hi.
I'm looking for a low-profile soundcard that has coaxial SPDIF inputs AND outputs. Can anyone recommend such a card? The specs on the product pages are very unclear as to exactly what connectors the cards have. I have no interest in any other features of the card, its simply to get SPDIF into and out of the PC. It needs to be a half-height card and backplate as thats all that will fit into the PC.
If necessary there is room to put in a second backplate with?the SPDIF sockets, but it would be preferable for the SPDIF sockets to be on the soundcard's backplate.
The PCs are running Windows XP
Many thanks, David.

Vista allows for upto 7. configurations. But it doesn't support 6. as this appears not to be an industry wide standard.
In Windows XP it might have been possible for manufacturers to do whatever they wanted to in regards to speaker support, because they were allowed to completely handle audio (either in software emulation?or real?hardware).
Under Vista Microsoft only allows software engines and these only in specific points of the pipeline, which severely limits the abilities of vendors to differentiate. For example Sample Rate Conversion is entirely done by the OS, so the advantages of X-Fi's SSRC or the disadvantages of the EMU0Kx line in regards to the matter are extincted.

    Hi:
    You go into the BIOS, select the Advanced Options menu.
    Go to the device configuration menu and there will be an onboard audio setting.
    It will be set to Disabled.  Change the setting to Enabled.  Save the setting there by hitting the F10 key, and again when you exit the BIOS.
    After you reboot, you will have the onboard audio back.

  • NI ExpressCard-8360 - Adaptor card to low-profile PCIe slot

    Hello,
    we share PXI chassis in our office between desktop PCs by using of NI Express Card 8360 + Delock PCI Express card to Express Card 34 mm
          +
    BUT our Dell Desktop PCs have low-profile PCI Express slots. So Delock card doesn't fit properly and its front plate has to be twisted to be able to plug in.
    Also it's impossible to screw it so loosing of connection and crashes are noted sometimes.
    So my question is: Is there some LOW-PROFILE Adapter in the market?
    I mean upper of these two...

    Oh and while I was at NewEgg I intend to try  
    StarTech ECBRACKET2 Stabilizer Adapter 
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16839158051
    Its a bit of plastic that clips on the bracket to stop the express card being wobbled / bumped in the adaptor. (I have lost the connection in my laptop before because I bumped the cable.)

  • Where can I get a low-profile bracket for p212

    Hi,
    I have the adapter and a full height bracket but where can I get the low profile bracket?

    Awesome. I sent you a PM perhaps we can swap. I actually need 2 half height brackets, but I'll settle with what I can get.

  • Low profile counter/timer board

    Does NI (or anyone else) make a low-profile counter/timer board? Perhaps with specs similar to 6602? If not, are there some other options that I could look into (I think the sample rates may be too high to use USB)?
    Solved!

    Hi greatgrandpadog,
    Unfortunately, NI does not have any counter/timer solutions that are low-profile on PCI.
    Our cDAQ-9171 single slot USB chassis has four 32-bit counter/timers that can use an onboard 80 MHz clock (detailed specifications).  For external signals, you would need to use one of our digital i/o module which have various specifications.  You can find a list of them here.  This will be the best way to go for a compact USB counter/timer.  If you have additional i/o, take a look at our CompactDAQ Advisor, where you can use a 4- or 8-slot chassis to expand your i/o in a single system.  For more sophisticated control, CompactRIO offers a similar platform but with FPGA and Real-Time for greater customization and reliability.  There is an online advisor for that as well, here.

  • Need a low profile bracket for XtremeGamer card

    /?I've recently purchased an SB XtremeGamer sound card which unfortunately came with a regular rear bracket. I need to get the low profile one for my current build. Does anybody know where I can locate one for a decent price? Does Creative carry it any more?
    This is the bracket that I need. Thanks.

    Hi,
    Sorry, I don't think the profile bracket is available through Creative. These brackets are usually included with certain models, but not sold separately.

  • Low Profile Bracket for NX8500GT-MTD256EH

    Hey guys, I have one of these:
    http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=proddesc&prod_no=1231&maincat_no=130&cat2_no=136
    And I need to buy the low-profile vga bracket so it'll fit in my slim-PC.  I've tried contacting them via email, contact submission, calling several times, but never gotten a response.  Any easier way to get one of these?  Maybe a vendor?  Thanks!

    If you would have done a search on Google you would have seen that the #1 complaint is that it doesn't come with a Low Profile Bracket... example:
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductReview.aspx?Item=N82E16814127301
    A site that sells the card WITH the low profile bracket...
    http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Components/Graphics+Cards/PCI-E/nVIDIA+GeForce+8+Series/MSI+GeForce+8500GT+256MB+HDMI+Low-Profile+Silent+PCI-E+?productId=30971
    A site that says you can buy the bracket from MSI (but the # doesn't work anymore...)

    I knew of all these things already, but was hoping that the Forum had a good way of contacting MSI (because all the methods I've tried in Post #1 didn't work)

  • Low Profile Graphic Card

    Anyone has any recommedation of any low profile GPU that can run with a 280W PSU and is better than Geforce 9300GE? Thanks

    Low profile as in small-sized cart? The ATI Radeon X1600 is probably the smallest card that has dual-link DVI that will drive the 30" display.

  • Audigy 2 ZS...Low profile bracket?

    Have upgraded my old PC to a small factor Fujitsu Siemens and wanted to put my sound card in as the on-board isn't really that great. Is there a low profile bracket available for the ZS?
    Thanks,
    Phil

    & I do not think you would be pleased with a low profile bracket for the Audigy 2ZS. Here is a picture of the low profile bracket on the X-Fi Forte....and I do not want you to think you would compromise with something like this:

  • X-Fi Xtreme Audio low profile mounting bracket anyo

    Hi,
    I have just bought one of these cards to install in my Dell Dimension C52. I got it because it was low-profile as my case is narrow. The card will fit fine, but unfortunately, the sound card mounting bracket is too long and prevents me from closing the case. From the blank I took out of the pc case, the mounting bracket I need is 80mm long. Do Creative make a low profile sound card mounting bracket?Thanks in advance.

    @Re: X-Fi Xtreme Audio - Volume goes low, static, then comes backu Hi
    Did anyone solve this - I have started getting exactly the same problem today. There is a fairly loud pop and then the sound that normally should be coming form the machine (game or music) is very quiet and distorted. After a short while (a few minutes), it pops again and starts working again. I built this machine a few months ago and this is the first time that I have had this issue. The specs are as follows:
    XFX ATI Radeon HD 5870
    Asus P6X58D Premium Intel X58 Motherboard,
    Intel Core i7 920 D0 Stepping 2.66Ghz (Nehalem)
    Corsair XMS3 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 PC3-2800C9 (600MHz) Tri-Channel
    Hitachi Deskstar 7K2000 2TB HD
    Intel X25-M Mainstream 80GB SSHD
    X-Fi Fatalty FPS
    The X-Fi card is from my old machine and it worked perfectly in that one.
    Many thanks,
    Dave

  • Soundbalaster for low profile HP

    Hi guys, I have a HP DX270 small form factor low profile PC running Vista. Normal cards won't fit. Can anyone suggest a good low cost sound card I can use?

    The Xfi Extreme Gamer has both backplanes so it can be used in full or low profile cases.

  • Intel 6235 (Low profile vs. non low profile) Which do I need for gt70?

    What's the difference between the two?
    Which would is recommended for a A gt70?

    Low profile is the thinner design for thinnest Ultrabook designs. That is not needed for a full size notebook like GT70.
