Ok, I have the Audigy 2 ZS Gamer edition. I would like to add the I/O kit so I can have an optical audio connector. Thing is, I can't find anything saying if it will or won't work other then Creative Labs, and they say no. But, they have the same internal connectors and pin counts/locations, and the cards themselves look the same as well as having the same specs. Can anyone help? I don't want to get the I/O panel for nothing. EDIT : Model number of my card is SB0350.
Ok, I found out it will work, but now I need to find a I/O kit to actually get. Cant seem to find it, but here is a link to what I want. http://www.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=1&subcategory=16&product=14860&nav=0
The XFI one is exactly the same as that... http://www.buy.com/retail/searchresults.asp?querytype=home&qu=soundblaster+i/o&qxt=home&dclksa=1
Yeah, I kinda wish I had got one as well. I really could use that optical out, but I just settled for digital out instead. Works nearly as well. Not to mention I don't have room for it (DVD burner, CD burner, Antec TruePower PSU controller, and a Musketeer v1).
Goodie, I won one in an Ebay auction. I'll post as soon as I get it and know it's working. (As is item, but never used) EDIT : Ok, I got it, and it's installed. Seems to be working, but I need the optical cable I ordered to come in before I know if it does what I want.
Cable came in, and I was playing my 360 all night. Great sound, and everything works. All that could make it better is having the IO panel in the back on the PC, so that the cable is not plugged into the front. But I don't want to mod the case, and it's fine for now.
