EX is the one with the external 'live drive' I think.

yup

 

[TTM77]

External Live Drive???

If you talking about that external thing, then the Platinum have it too.

 

[hawkeye81x]

I believe the platinum (non-EX) only has the internal live drive as opposed to the EX which is the physical sound card/input jacks being external.

 

[lupohki]

Is there a hack or something to get this to work with the non-audigy2 live drives?

 

[TTM77]

It seem to me that both the Audigy 2 with and without EX have an internal Audigy 2 sound card and an external box. I think the box is where it is different. Am I right?

A2-Card
A2 Platinum - card + internal drive
A2 Platinum EX - card + external drive

Info readily available at www.soundblaster.com

So....

This one does not have the external front panel hookups (not the cool looking setup). It's the card only.

Excellent Deal!

Heck you get $50-$60 in games with it. Hitman2 and SOF2

Yeah, too bad I have already played through SOF2.. andI dont like the multiplayer a whole lot. And hitman 2 doesnthold much interest for me.


Oh.. also too bad this is at frys and frys sux because only a very small number of people can get this deal

 

[jaeger66]

If anyone cares, this deal is not in effect in Phoenix. Sometimes they do have the bay area specials though.

 

[ShoNuff]

In another thread the "rebate" was discussed and someone mentioned it was questionable. Anybody else hear that? I want to get one of these, but I think I might wait.

The Audigy 2 Platinum Ex is physically a different card from the other Audigy 2's. It has a special connector for the external drive, it also supports ASIO 2 drivers, so you can record more channels. The connectors for the internal Live Drive are different on the Audigy 2's and the Audigy 1 so you can't use your old drive Live Drive with the new cards.
