Hey everyone, so I recently got these two cards working in my 98 machine and was wondering if there was a way to route them together internally. My AWE64 model is CT4520. As for my Audigy 2 ZS, I have the modified front audio connector that was sold by Performance-PCs (pic below) which works great but I have not fully tested it yet with two cards (with the AWE64) as I am waiting for another one (other one is already in a machine). If anyone knows I would appreciate it 😀

Well, on my 98 Rig, I have my AWE64 Gold routed into my Audigy 2 ZS's Line in on the back with the cd audio going into the AWE64 Gold. I'd imagine that you'd hear the AWE64 through the front panel audio on the A2ZS if you did it like that.

Thank you, got them connected with a 4 pin analog SPDIF cable routed into both CD-INs, will try 😀

Hopefully everything works out.

Hello, I just got the cable in today to test in out and no luck for the AWE64 sound, of course the Audigy 2 ZS works but I set the CD-Audio in panel for both mixers to on and nothing. I just have the analog 4-pin (no 2-pin digital on AWE64) SPDIF cable going into each other. Do you mind rephrasing exactly what you did but with my CT4520 value model in mind rather than the gold that you have? Thanks 😀

So plug the cd audio cable directly into the AWE64 (don't do it for the Audigy), make sure the Audigy 2 is using VXD drivers, mute cd audio in and use line in on the Audigy 2 to funnel in the AWE64 audio from it's line out (the cd audio will come from the awe64 into the audigy 2).

IT WORKS! Thank you, didn't even need the 4 pin cable, you were right, just needed to route the AWE64 to out and Audigy 2 ZS to in. Thank you sir, you made my day 😀
