Audigy 2zs front audio cable

[vhx]

I found a guide on how to make them, but don't have the tools to do so: http://audigy2zshowto.blogspot.com/

Also if so, is there anyway to get around the 8 pin (which is the mic) only being 2.5V rather than the 5V needed? Is there a workaround for something like this? If someone could point me to a more up to date article or something to help me, that'd be great.
