I may not do SPDIF directly over these pins. That adapter can connect to complex add-on boards like the Home Studio: https://retrosoundcards.wordpress.com/tag/turtle-beach-montego-ii/ The outputs might be I2C or I2S or something else....and even if it can do SPDIF it may only work with a board it …

I am trying to get SPDIF over TOSLink on a CT4390. I am using an ASUS SPDIF bracket, and I connect pin 0 from card's spdif header to the signal-in, and pulled a 5V line from a floppy power cable. The TOSLink cable is shooting out a red laser, so it has power, but my DAC is not seeing any signal for …

Bump up the resolution. You need to use command line arguments. E.g. -width 1024 -height 768. See what happens.

I had difficulty with the SB0090, with almost all drivers and driver CDs not working. The only one that recognized the card was the Asia Pacific CD. But even then it was unstable on my via 133a mobo so I switched to an audigy2 and it has worked perfectly with the standard driver CD.

Cutting off those people, because they are inconvenient, does not help but rather hurt. It would help us. My advice: you don’t have to read the posts.

Who takes brackets off cards? I can sortof understand losing a motherboard backplate...but a PCI bracket? And what's with all the russian sellers selling things like voodoos and diamond s540s without brackets....were they used in some kind of arcade machine or something?

What's the smaller pinout next to the 40pin connector on the e.g. audigy2? Bit smaller than the joystick port which is separate. Not the 1394 which is at the top of the card. Looks a lot like those audio headers found on motherboards. It's not the next to 40-pin connector. It's a PART of 40-pin …

I have heard the Audigy2 VXD drivers don't work so well It's not true. Who did say that? He lied. I think it was here....something about the Audigy2 being made for WinXP not Win98 and the VXD drivers no longer being supported when it was released. But so far it works for me so it was probably just …

w0lf42 , great work!!! You have your own talent and taste! I have to say that Audio Interface Bracket is NOT "from PhilsComputerLab". I have been using a same bracket for many years. And I'm sure that not only me. 40-pin pinout is a well known information for Live, Audigy and X-Fi. S/PDIF TTL …

Yeah it is a Frankenstein build for sure. I know some older titles don't play nicely with newer graphics cards, but I don't know exactly when the problems start cropping up.

So you got a mobo from 2011 and a graphics card from 2005. You generally want to be the other way round, this system will be graphically hobbled. Consider how cheap a radeon hd 5850 can be acquired for.
