I have a cool idea I think, but I'm not sure if it will work or not.
I presently using an Audigy Platinum EX, which is basically a card, with cables running to another PCB which then run to the external box (remote, inputs, headphones...).
My question is, can I take a newer Xifi card, and connect it to the secondary pcb from my original Audigy card and still use my external box?
I've looked at pictures of the new card, it it appears to have the exposed pins for the ribbon cable on the main card. But for all I know, plugging everything in could make it all go boom. Anyone successfully "upgrade" their sound card in such a manor?
