X-FI AD_EXT pin assignment, anyone?

vgxd · Dec 18, 2005, 10:57 AM

i think xfi ad_ext is the same as audigy 2

If you just want to use analog output, e.g. for connecting front audio, you can stick to these 2 posts: http://www.forumdeluxx.de/forum/show...hp?t=180707#15 (it's in german, but i think the last 3 pics say all you need to know)

having this for ~3 weeks now and it's working fine. With this you get the same output on your front panel, that you have on your card's primary jack.

Has anyone yet tried connecting a digital reciever to an x-fi w/o front panel using the ad_ext pin layout from audigy 2 (and some generic spdif bracket)?

once it's worked out someone will post what they've done, no need to continually bump the thread

What do you mean? It's been 4 months since my last post!

So did anybody try connecting pin 25 and 35 on the x-fi and get the option ungreyed?
Because people keep saying the pinout is the same so if it is the same than connecting those 2 pins should work the same. Unless the x-fi uses something special to detect it so it can be a pain and make you buy an 80$ ad-in drive!

re-read the thread and you will answer your own question

Trev0r · Mar 30, 2006, 02:50 AM

Only one person said it worked for them and did not post back. So I'm going to say thats not true.

Yes those things work for me too, but the remote doesn't work it doesn't detect when the headphones are plugged in and 5.1 channel decodeing input wont work, thats the main part I want to fix.

hiho,

ok its for installing x-fi driver on audigy but he patch the software for selecting any remote and for using digital-in decoding

have fun
inteks

[edit]
ps: it works for me with standart driver on x-fi music with audigy2 drive.

Trev0r · Apr 4, 2006, 05:40 AM

Yes, I will try it now!

You notice my post in that thread? lol

Trev0r · Apr 4, 2006, 05:49 AM

Trev0r · Apr 4, 2006, 06:37 AM

Inteks,

Are you able to select 5.1 speaker setup and select "digital output only?" I tried using the X-fi for 3xspdif, but only got one s/pdif channel to work.

Hi all,

Interested in getting this to work w/ my new X-Fi XtremeMusic & Realmagic X-Card - pin 25-35 trick used to work on prev Aud2 ZS (connecting pin 5-6 to the X-Card's internal SPDIF out. Now the option's grayed out in Audio Console

Thanks in advance

Cadman hasn't posted on this thread or DH since 2005. You might be better off starting a new thread detailing exactly what you need.
