Hello, I am building a new PC. The PC I use now I bought the X-Fi Elite
Pro. I am wanting to buy the X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Champion Series. I want it because it would provide better audio for my gaming.
I, however, also play a guitar. I bought the X-Fi Elite Pro so I could simply use my guitar cord and plug it into the "Shared line in / Hi-Z in (1/4-inch / 6.35 mm stereo jack)"
on the I/O box.
The X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Champion Series has only "two
RCA 3.50 mm (1/8-inch) stereo jacks" on the I/O box.
Can I still play my guitar the same way by getting a jack adapter? I've seen, and have, a
3.50 mm to 6.35 mm jack, but not the other way around.
I asked this question to Creative and this is what they said:
With regards to your enquiry, please be informed that Auxiliary Line In
jacks on the X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Champion Series Sound Card's I/O
Drive are not a Hi-Z jack. You will need to get pre-amp equipment for
your guitar. The sound quality will be distorted or soft if you
connected your guitar directly to the Auxiliary Line In jacks via a jack
adapter.
OMG, and they still advertise recording music and stuff with ease. Has anyone else had any luck hooking up your guitar to a X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Champion Series sound card? Why did they change the two plugs? That's so retarded!!!
Any help would be awesome.
THANX
