| SB Audigy Platinum owners, please help!
Does anyone still have the SB Audigy Platinum from way back when?
If you still have the Audigy drive, can you take a picture of the drive? I'm specifically interested on the jumpers.
Here's the story. I'm basically tearing out old computers, and trying to salvage old components and trying to build a better one using usable components from the old computers. The Audigy drive looks too good to throw away, so I decided to keep it. While dusting it, a jumper fell off and can't seem to figure out where it came from.
There's a lot of jumper switches on that drive, and the documentation only mentioned JMP1 for the microphone setup.
Anyone knows where it(the jumper) possibly came from?
TIA!

| install it anyway and see what, if any fucntion is missing or not operating correctly because of this missing jumper.
more than likely, it will operate just fine.

Dude! The answer to that one is so easy: Just freaking spend a couple of dollars and call Creative on the phone and ask them, for Heaven's sake! |

| Do you want a serious answer? You are really supposed to always try and do some legwork of your own first if you can. It is like all the people asking for help without giving any information on the parameters that we need to help them with, it is a little bit of an insult to people.
You solution is most readily answered by a phone call, it just seems like common sense, to me...

| I'm not trying to insult anyone here, and I know the rules.
I'm just taking a chance if someone still has this card, and unfortunately nobody has it. And I'm ok with that. You'll notice that I never made a follow up on it.
Oh by the way, if you read the original post, I did my homework by reading the manual, needless to say I went to Creative's site for answers too, and I did searched the web to no avail.
So, if you can't help, just ignore the thread.

I have the same issue (loose jumper & not JP1).
SEE MY POST ON CREATIVE'S SITE:
»forums.creative.com/creativelabs···0#M58993
I too have tried for nearly 2 weeks with Creative to get a valid response. After acknowledging that I needed the FACTORY/DEFAULT jumper locations, they gave me the (lazy tech)run-around. They told me to look at the manual and the knowledge base article on jumpers (manual only describes JP1 and knowledge base article doesn't cover front pannel jumpers for any Audigy products), then told me they couldn't help me (after playing email tag for nearly 2 weeks) because the warranty period is up on the product.
I've searched the knowledge base, discussion forums, Google, etc., etc., and have found nothing on these jumper settings (other than JP1). It's like Creative want's to keep them secret or something. I told them that I don't care what these jumpers do, and could care less about trying to tweak (fry) my card...all I want is the (Factory/Default) settings so my little lost jumper can feel at home once again.
So, in your defense, I too have run into the Tech support wall and internet silence over a simple issue.
Something as simple as a front panel (FACTORY DEFAULT) jumper setting description/illustration really seems to freak Creative Techs out...hmmm....why? Yeah, I could call them and pay them $10-20 with my credit card, but why? I'm sure someone out there has this simple answer for free. If these older front panels were still sold, I might be able to get a good look at one...but unfortunately...they aren't.
Front Panel Model: SB0010 (Circuit Board = SB0010D)
If you find anything...let me know.

| Marvelous!
So ... JP6 do have jumpers. But it's not clear from the pic which of them were jumped.
Your JP10 doesn't look like have any jumpers, and mine does. I think I'm getting old, I might have put the jumper that fell from JP6 to JP10.
If you can please describe which of the pins in JP6 were jumped, it'll really help.
Thanks!

| Thanks codeble.
Were you able to find out what the jumpers are for (other than the default factory settings)?
Might be cool if we can tweak this.

At least there are still a few members here who aren't asshats all the time. I would have easily taken a picture of mine as well for you when I got home. and I wouldn't have lost sleep over it. I don't think your request was a big deal. let me know if you still need a pic. I could take a look at mine as well. |
