Im trying to get two cards working master-5.1 live sb0220 slave-audigy sb0090
Im having trouble with the pinout diagram my pinout seems diffrent then the one posted for the audigy
so far i have sb0090 aud_ext pins 18 19 21 22 for the spdif out going into aux_in on the sb0220 5.1 live (no _ext pins on the 5.1) so im going to the aux_in
Does that seem ok ?

sound will play through each card seprately using line in and line out
I cant seem to get the sound to the 5.1 from the audigy digitily

With a DSP peak meter i can see the signal is present on the audigy how do i send it to the 5.1 at one point i had a signal on the 5.1 I think it was feedback as the signal was still there after I turned off the input to audigy line in

Am i missing something in the DSP

Use a 2 conductor SPDIF cable:
Go from pins 17, 18 of SB0090 to the CD_SPDIF IN of the 220. If your 220 has no CD_SPDIF IN, then use the 5 pin connector of the 220. This is the only info I have seen on the pins of the 220
---------------------------------------------------------------
Connector for the SB0220, maybe SB0240-not sure
(This information, for the SB0220 was taken from a forum thread and is untested-use at your own peril)
1 - SPDIF out TTL level
2 - Ground
3 - SPDIF IN
4 - Ground
5 - +5V
Pin 1 is the pin closest to the where the PCI connects into your mobo.
---------------------------------------------------------------
That gives you 4 analog ins. You have 2 more available analog inputs if you want to do some minor modifications:

AUX_IN is analogue, and will not accept digital signals such as S/PDIF - use the CD_SPDIF header if present

WOW IT WORKS THIS IS GREAT !
Thanks , I was messing with the DSP for 3 days thinking i went wrong there , and it was just something simple as wrong pins wrong input .

I do have another question ?
On the 1/8 input jacks on the back of most soundcards , are the soldering lugs right and left ? are they all similar in "wiring" ? as i have a few junk ISA cards and would like to move all the inputs of the newer sb cards to the front of the p/c .

Thanks again !

Glad you got it going,

I wouldn't count on solder lugs to be standard from one card to the next. I usually grab a 1/8" stereo cable with only one connector on it. The other side has the left, right and ground wires stripped. I first confirm with my meter, which wires are the right, left and ground wires that correlate to the connector on the other end of the cable. Then I plug the cable in to the jack and use the dangling wires to figure out right, left and ground points on the card.

Standard for the male connector is:
Left on tip, Right on ring, ground on sleeve.

If you don't have a meter, make a "poor man's continuity tester"
