Any way to fake I/O drive bay for X-Fi?

lambition · Sep 22, 2006, 11:56 PM

Did anyone figured out how to fake optional I/O drive on X-Fi?

I been searching on google and ended up here. I wasn't able to figure out the way to get this working.

I found that in Audigy 2 ZS, connecting pins 25 and 35 together fakes Audigy drive, but that does not work on X-Fi.

I found that pins 33 and 35 are pulled up to 3.3V logic, which I have no idea why. They are supposed to be input.

Only thing I could get to work is SPDIF out.
I'm trying to get SPDIF In and MIDI I/O to work right now.

If anyone has any idea how to get them to work, please tell me!

I wish I had oscilloscope

.
then I probably can go buy Platinum edition and figure out how to get it work then return.

Just getting S/PDIF out is no problem. Pin 9 is S/PDIF out and it works without any special wiring.
