Default Audigy 2ZS External IO box question
Hey guys,

I'm using the Audigy 2 ZS Platinum with the External IO box right now. 5.1 surround sound is awesome with this unit using the DanielK drivers. However, the IO box will not work :(

So how do I get the IO box to work? Does it need more power than the sound card can provide, hence the point of a "power connector" on the sound card?

Where can I get that specific cable?

Thanks!

Update: so according to a user on Overclock.net, I have to plug in a 4pin floppy power cable. I'll try that tomorrow and we'll see what happens...

I have the platinum version with the front panel I/O box and I can confirm that you need to plug in the 4 pin floppy power cable for it to work.

Are you referring to the cable that plugs in here.



I think I still have one... It may be Dell specific though...

I'm not too sure... I'll double check when I get home from school.

Alrighty, I've plugged in the floppy power cable. VOILA!!! The IO box works like a charm :)

Thank you to those that pitched in and helped!
