Yeah, that's how I work, probably isn't a good thing but whatever. Man, I'm so upset that I'm actually mad and want to start punching things. I am not forking out the eBay prices for another one and I refuse to run such a great machine on a shitty Creative card, if it comes to it I'll just run this one with no sound. Bummer.Īs the power transistors on my PAS16 were blown when I got it and the ones on the Plus appear to work, does the general population around here think it would be worth transplanting the caps and transistors to that card? Or is there some issue here that I have missed or that the PAS cards are prone to? If it were the transistors on this card too you'd think one side would go out before the other wouldn't it?


So far as I can tell, all the components I can do anything about are fine (though the original caps were indeed leaky) so it is either some SMD I will never track down and can't work on anyway or one of the ASICs.

In short, I think the card is dead and I am very upset. Re-capped my broken PAS Plus, no improvement and now I look closely, the software is having problems getting it to run properly when certain conditions are met.
