Audigy2 value and p180 front ports

[ShazK]

Yeah. Topic says it all... what of those front audio cables on the P180 do I connect to what on my soundcard to make them work?

Stupid Creative's site is down >.>

Apparently the only way to do this is to make some adapter or something, anyone have any idea how to do this?

And why did no one tell me this?

Did you ever get an answer ShazK? I have the same problem - need to connect the front inputs of the P180 to my Audigy 2 ZS.

Creative's response was to buy the Soundblaster Platinum wth front input panel; however, that will be behind the closed door of my case. I just want to use the existing jacks provided by Antec - seems reasonable enough!

you can't, at least not realistically

You can do this if you have an OEM card, but not with a retail one. The OEM ones have an internal front port connector that can be hooked up to the standard case pin headers with a little work.

There is enough room in the front of a p180 that you can use right angle plugs with the door closed. There is also a convenient hole at the bottom to route those cables.

That is what I do when I want front ports and want the door closed.

I've got it easy though, i can use the x-fi drivebay panel jacks, or I can use the jacks on the megaworks speaker pod.

All that said, none of that does any good if you really want to use the builtin ports with the card you've got. sorry. :-0
