Where can I get the 6 channel add-on card?
Hey guys,
Well I've got a Epox 8RDA+ and it didn't come with the 5.1 speaker add-on card so I can hook up a 5.1 system to it. It's only got the standard 3 plug out let. Now I know nothing about computer audio, but I'd like to some time be able to get a 5.1 speaker system (maybe z640). Where can I get the add-on card? I can't find it anywhere one Epox's website.

From the PDF:
Center/Subwoofer (pink)
Rear out (blue)
front out (Green)
Basically you lose mic-in and line-in when you switch to 6ch mode.

Yeah, I was reading the PDF and I saw this too. But, I use my Mic a lot and really don't want to give it up.

AFAIK most onboard sound does the same thing and there is rarely anything you can do other than disabling onboard sound and getting a PCI card.

I'm talking about PCI sound card. Not an add-on card. I doubt many motherboards would bother with one.

I know, but I've already stated I'm trying to avoid buying an expensive sound card and still keep my mic. That's why I want to get the add-on card. You said:

I'm trying to do that "rare" thing and get the add-on card. Which should let me use my soundstorm with 5.1 speakers and a microphone.

I think you did not understand what I was saying. By "rare" I mean that the MB developer would bother making such an add-on card. If they don't there is nothing that can be done short of getting a better sound card. You could probably get something fairly cheap off ebay.

I'll have a Santa Cruz up in a few days.
