Is Creative as retarded as I think?

max12590 · 22-07-2005, 04:55 AM

I have a Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 *gulp* Value (saw no reason to blow the bank on a sound card) and I am mad at it. There is no AC97 connector for the front panel audio. There is however a small white header that I think might work. Also my case has the audio wires split off into individual leads so if this is the FPaudio header it will work. The only problem is that i don't know what goes where. Anybody know? I looked on Google and tons of people have this problem but I can't find any solutions to mine.

As far as I know, Creative wants you to blow an extra $100 on their Audigy Drives in order to get front panel connectivity.

Ok so they are as retarded as I think. They lost a customer.

I realize they have drives for it, but I don't want to pay the jacked up price, besides, I already have 2 drives. Thanks Ex, I looked at that card when I got this POS card but I decided to go with the *better* brand.
