CMedia 5.1 Sound Card Question

[toshiba3020]

I own a CMedia 5.1 sound card ( http://www.cmedia.com.tw/e_products_1.html ) and have wanted for some time to get the addon board to give me coaxial and optical in/out. I found one that might work, but its for the onboard version of this sound card. I think it may work, but the problem is that addon board has 2 audio out jacks that already is on my sound card. Here is a link to the addon card. http://direct.mwave.com/mwave/doc2/a14723.html

Please let me know what you think.

Garrett.

Ideas?

You will most likely need to find out if the addon board had the same number of pins as the connector on your soundcard. If it doesn't, then I would say that it would not work.

Cheers.

How can I tell from that picture?

You would probably have to contact mwave for the info on the product... You could also try contacting Chaintech http://www.chaintech-excel.com/Main%20Contacts.htm they make C-media cards and must know where to get the header from, as most of their boards have them.

Good Luck
