In fact, Audigy 2 Value will definitely not be detected with dried capacitors across from 1117 LDO , which are indicated in my first post.
1.8V - power supply for E-MU DSP and 3.3V - power supply for i/o of card, including EEPROM.
This is a typical malfunction with significant statistics of Audigy sound cards. Just like the drying out of the largest capacitor on PCI X-Fi (Not PСI-e, it's a different circuitry), with exactly the same symptoms.The second typical malfunction of Creative sound cards is erasing the first byte of the EEPROM, then the E-MU processor is visible in the device manager, but the drivers are not installed.
These are statistically typical malfunctions that you don’t need a $100k LeCroy WaveRunner to diagnose
I've an SB0460 PCI X-Fi that I bought as part of a lot of parts that isn't detected when installed in any of several motherboards I've tried, so this caught my attention. Can you direct me to any further reading on this?
