The digital connector on the Audigy is also used for the Center/Sub when configured for analog use. </div> <div> To get to the CMSS take a look at the following pics;</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="1eee0cb0.jpg" border=0 width="736" height="203" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> <IMG SRC="1ef2ec30.jpg" border=0 width="814" height="195" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> Also you are not alone [if you have] with crackling problems with the Audigy Plat. If you go to the Creative newserver, and read through the posts; you will see that crackling is common on VIA motherboards with the squeal of death mainly on Intel Motherboards (including Dells) </div> <div> I also own an Audigy Plat and the soundfonts don't even work right. Also they are having incredable problems with their drivers both in 98 & in XP. </div> <div> If you are going to replace the soundcard, you may also want to look at the Hercules GTXP, it has an external box that has some of the features of the Audigy Drive. If your main focus is on recording, you may wish to look at the Terratec DMX 6Fire. Tom's hardware did a comparison between the Audigy Plat and the Terratec here; </div> <div> <U>http://www4.tomshardware.com/video/02q1/020115/index.html</U><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> It is a little more expensive that the Audigy but definatly worth a look. I know that Audiomidi.com has them for $250 <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><U>http://www.audiomidi.com/common/cfm/product.cfm?Product_ID=1868</U></FONT> </div> <div> It unlike any "Consumer Grade" card has real 24 Bit recording and 96 KHz sample rates without resampling. </div> <div> Having the problems you seem to be talking about definatly plug the Klipsch Front connector into a portable CD Player or MP3 Player. If you still have dull sound and crackling without the soundcard in the mix, then look at the speakers. But look at the item that has the most configuration parameters first. </div> <div> Lastly for any problems you have with the gutar, you may have better luck asking about this in a recording newsgroup like re.audio.pro or even recording software newsgroups like cooledit's, n-Track's, or soundforge's. There you tend to talk mostly to other musicians who rely on these options for their livlyhood. </div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
