i was thinking about getting an x-fi to go with my creative inspire speakers, but i have heard the x-fi card has no digital out on the card itself,
you need to get the breakout box to get a digital out option,
is this for real? if so it means spending an extra £70-£100 or so to get the "fps" or "pro" editions of the card
why would creative do that?
It has digital out.
are you sure cause the page at scan says differentQuote:

What speakers you looking to use as theres quite a nice little thread popping up on the creative forum regarding the X-Fi cards and the digital out NOT working correctly with certain creative speakers which can be found HERE
Also, theres a thread about the X-Fi and Nforce4 with a few motherboards having issues. Again, this can be found HERE
Hope this information helps :)
ye thanks wildmonkey,
i have 5700 inspires, so it looks like i wont be upgrading to an x-fi, i just wanted to buy the new card, plug the spidif connector in and listen to my speakers
strange that creative did this tbh
Ah now, whether the digital works or not is another matter (and one I didn't know about :p) But the cards themselves have digital outs as part of a 3-in-1 mini jack (3.5) output according to the SB website.That it doesn't work with the 5700 or other popular speakers sounds poo.Quote:
