X-FI Elite Pro, is the floppy power connector only needed if using the external box?

I know there is not a lot of chances of getting a reply but I thought I would ask since I just scored the card only for $28 shipped.
Thanks!

Hi,
just thought I'd jump on the band wagon on this one for some advice.
I have installed a X-FI Elite Pro in my PC running Vista Ultimate (not dual boot) and have some issues.
. My External box seems dead, the remote will not elicit any lights from it at all. I know the remote is fine because my other PC running Audigy ZS2 Pro's external box goes out in sympathy. Is there an issue with the Entertainment Centre Application, which seems absent from my install. Also When I try to install the app I get the "No IR Devices installed error".
I understand there are issues with Vista and Drivers.
2. There are about several different ways to set up for 7. speakers and I am runnoing Gigaworks 7.. The problem I am having here is I'm not getting surround sound. In one setup for speakers each speaker identifies correctly, but in most I do not get sound from rear speakers, and in another I don't get side speakers or rear. It seems they are mapping to front and centres, this also refers to the Sub. Running the Creative Diagnostic reports no errors, yet even it incorrectly identifies the speakers. The system was running fine on my other PC with Audigy ZS2 Pro. How can I resolve this one?
I really want to give Vista a run before scrapping the whole lot and going back to XP.
