Hi, I have auriga 5.1 surround sound system and creative audigy 2 sound card.

I am not very smart when it comes to cables ..I noticed there was a specific cable, one slot, it has
9-holes, and I am missing the cable to connect from the 9-hole to my creative audigy 2 sound card.

...I hope someone can help me

Thanks

It's a bit difficult to understand what you mean, but I'll try to guess.

Your Auriga 5.1 Surround Sound speaker system has a 9-pin connector which your Creative Soundblaster Audigy 2 does not? If you are able to connect the 3 * 3.5mm stereo phono jacks, representing the 6 channels necessary for 5.1 Surround Sound, then any additional connections are unnecessary.

If this is not the case, you may be looking at a mini-din, which should come with an adapter with either 3 * 3.5mm jacks, or 3 * RCA. If you have RCA on the end of the adapter (single middle pin with round outer shield), then you'll need 3.5mm jack to RCA adaptors as well.

HI, thanks for your reply,

My Auriga 5.1 has a 9 pin slot, and the label said "sound card". I have creative Audigy 2 , and I'm not sure which cable to use to connect from my Auriga to my Audigy 2, hmm,


Hmm also, to set up surround sound, from what you're saying, do I just have to ue the cable with left and right audio end to connect to Auriga and one single plug at the other end to connect to my audio input?



Merry Christmas!

I will reiterate.

If you have one of these:



Your speakers use a unified connector called a mini-din. Your Creative Soundblaster Audigy 2 has outputs for 3 3.5mm stereo jacks. One jack is for Stereo sound, head phones, or in Surround Sound mode the front speakers; a second jack is for the rear speakers and a third jack is for the centre speaker and sub. For 6.1 and 7.1 the designation of the cables gets a bit more complicated. If you look directly at the back of the card, on the far left there is a IEEE 1394 connector, then Channel 3 (sub/centre, usually uses a yellow cable), Channel 2 (rear, usually uses a black cable), and Channel 1 (front/stereo, usually uses a green cable). After that there’s Mic, Aux and Digital out. Note that this applies only to the Audigy 2, not Audigy 2 ZS, Value, or anything like that.

Anyway, in order to connect your speakers (9-pin mini-din) to your sound card (3 x 3.5mm stereo jacks) you require an adaptor cable which should have come with the package.

I cannot give you any additional information without the exact model of your speakers.

Thank you for replying syphus.
You are a good help.

Here is the exact model of my speakers.

From what you're saying, it looks like I need 3 stereo cables that goes from auriga to my audigy 2 in order for a 5.1 surround sound to work.

Looks like I will need to go out and buy an adapter cable. Thanks so much!
