Viper74 · May 16, 2004, 11:09 AM

Hi,
I'm a new mwmber!

I need your support.

I' ve a Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 NO Platinum.

Now I buy an Audigy 2 Platinum' s front panel, I install it, but it does'nt work with my Audigy 2.

Anyone know how i can use it?

Some settings on Audigy 2? Bios upgrade?

Please help me!

Thanks!

hmm it shouls work - you may need drivers for the drive bay… and make sure the cable is attached properly to the a2 board

Where I can find driver for Front Bay?

Another think: Front Bay is of an Audigy 1 Platinum.

Thanks.

look in your sound settings fronm the little speaker by your clock and make sure it doesnt have "line in 2/microphone 2" un ticked or checked.

I have'nt linein2/microphone2 in my creative settings.

I see that there is not red light from optical in and out in the front panel.

It's look like there is no electric power on the bay.

Is there possible?

Uff! I don't know.

if you are using and audigy 2, and the drive bay is audigy… then they are incompatible

Have you hooked up a power conector to the bay? It requires its own small power connector just like the one on a floppy.

I have audigy bay on a audigy 2 card and the headphone and mike both work.

Viper74 · May 17, 2004, 07:17 AM

Yes, I connect power connector, but nothing!

I try remote control...nothing.

I think Audigy 2 and Audigy front bay are inconpatible.

I do this:

Connect power connector

Connect cable from Audigy 2 to front bay

Reinstall all Audigy 2 driver

Install Creative Media Source driver

And nothing........
If I lauch Creative system check, among hardware resource, I look for 3 row only:
Audigy 2
Game port
Firewire

So there is not front bay.

I have an old audigy bay that I am using on an audigy 2 card and my headphones and mic work fine. I took the audigy2 bay and I am using it on my Audigy zs card. Everything works ok on mine

audigy 2 bay on a2zs would work fine, BUT audigy 1 bay is incompatible with the a2 models
