Can anyone tell me the difference between the Creative Platinum and
non-platinum versions of the Audigy 2?
Reason - I've got a Audigy 2 Platinum and a 6.1 speaker set (came as a
bundle a few years back)
I'm having problems with the soundcard (loose/broken connection somewhere
which pressure on the board improves/exacerbates) and it looks like I'll
need to replace it.
Problem is the 6.1 Audigy 2 are hard to come by (replaced by 7.1 ZS, etc
versions) - also buying the Platinum version seems overkill if all the
difference is the front panel/remote control (which are both ok on the one
I've already got).
Basically if I can get a non-Platinum version will it just cable into the
front panel - or is it not that simple? Or should I bite the bullet, dump
the 6.1 card and speaker set and upgrade to 7.1?
(and I suppose even then the question of a 7.1 non-Platinum hooking into the
existing front panel would be worth asking).
Cheers for any pointer on this one
