| 321179 | 2005-02-03 12:09:00 | I've got an Audicy DE sound card... And I have audio ports at the front of my pc case.... I want these ports to work but I have no idea which jumper is which... I know that these are jumpers on my card that are for the external audio controls that comes with more expensive packages of the audigy... Anyone able to enlighten me? |

| 321180 | 2005-02-03 12:36:00 | hmm .. unfortunately the Soundblaster site is crap wrt providing any info / schematics , esp as regards DE cards . Does it look like any sockets on the sound card match those from the front of your case ? This may give a few clues wrt the jumpers location and settings , otherwise maybe just use the back sockets on the card itself , after disabling any on board audio on the motherboard thru the BIOS . There is often some degree of sound degredation thru using the front ports of a pc case [ ie the leads are often not shielded ] | KatiMike (242) | ||
| 321181 | 2005-02-03 12:47:00 | found a bit of info on the Asia support site - I'd be very surprised if your card supports an output to the front of the case - have seen MOBO's with sound that do via jumpers , but from what I see the card itself doesn't support output to front connections | KatiMike (242) | ||
| 321182 | 2005-02-03 19:28:00 | Thanks for the replies, Here's the thing, there is two rows of jumpers which are for the external or the control panel like thing you can put in a spare optical drive bay. Now if there is some way of knowing the arrangement of those jumpers, I'll be able to use the audio ports on the front of my case... Since the jumper arrangement is very different from the sockets... |

| 321183 | 2005-02-03 19:37:00 | Can u take a picture of both the front of your case, and the connections /jumpers of this sound card, so we can see what they look like?? And paste it on the F1 site, or somewhere?? | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 321184 | 2005-02-03 20:06:00 | Are the front connections for multiple speakers or just sound out and microphpone. What I have done with my SB Card is get a double adapator jack for sound from DSE, and plug in the external front speaker and the front audio connector into the same jackpoint. You could do the same with the microphone, but it is probably unlikely you are running two microphones from the same jack point. What is the make and model of your case...... |

| 321185 | 2005-02-03 20:52:00 | Ok my case is the Lian Li PC-V1000... There are two audio ports out front... One for microphone and the other is audio out... My Audio card is just the first generation Audigy DE... | Azrael (4666) | ||
| 321186 | 2005-02-04 03:07:00 | If those jumpers are intended for the "more expensive" options, see if you can find the manuals for the more expensive things on the Creative site. Presumably, if the other gear uses them they'll be mentioned in the manuals. | Graham L (2) | ||
| 321187 | 2005-02-04 09:45:00 | Well to tell you the truth, the manual that came with my sound card can also be relevant to the more expensive options... The jumpers are arranged in two rows and with the external controllers, it wouldn't be a trouble since there will be a cable connecting the controllers to the card. I guess i have to do a bit of trial and error and try each jumper... :cool: | Azrael (4666) | ||
| 321188 | 2005-02-04 09:46:00 | Thanks for the suggestions though. | Azrael (4666) | ||
