im back after so long, its summer again so i get more free time now, anyways...

i have a soundblaster audigy 2zs and it came with front audio ports. now im switching sound cards to an emu 1820m (http://www.emu.com/products/product.asp ... tegory=754).

so my questions are... how do front audio ports work in general, with my audigy 2zs? is there any way to connect them to the new card? i dont want to waste my front audio ports, even tho ill rarely be using them once i switch

note - i havent opened my computer up so i dont kno anythin, ill open it up in a few days when i move back home and get settled and also i dont kno too much bout the new card so i put a link up there

Took me a while, it's a really huge pain. You have to connect it to those pins that look like they're too small but those are the ones.

No. The people at every Guitar Center I've ever gone to are dipshits. Every time I've asked someone a question there, they've either tryed to hide the fact that they didn't know, or they rambled on and on how I was wrong and they were right. For example, I was testing out a Mesa Boogie Road King (guitar amp) once, and I asked someone there what tubes it used, as there were many channels and tubes. He was saying some bullshit about how they are all the same but the polarity is different on each channel to give it a different tone... What the flying fuck?!?

They are idiots, bottom line. I'm not sure about sound recording and such, but for everything else, they're clueless.

ur right in a sense, at times they are dumb ass salesmen who just try to sell whatever... at the same time they do know what theyr talkin about in general, they got basic knowledge and they have all the stuff so u can see it

i went there today, i din buy nuthin tho, i jus asked questions... its part of the research that i like to do before i drop a big chunk of money, i figure with waht they say, what friends say, what i find online in articles and forums i can make a good informed decision
