What a disaster. Top of the range Creative AE-9 sound card as well. I was pissing about moving my rig and left the audio control module connected to the Internal card by mistake causing the bloody cable end to become as bent as a £3 note.

The ridiculous thing is the cable should be easy to replace but getting inside the control module was the biggest nightmare of all time. Caused some cosmetic issues to the control module casing, broken clips inside and had to peel the decal off the front due to stupid hidden screws. I have ordered a new cable so hopefully will be able to fix it.

I take pride in my PC stuff so i am not happy having to nearly smash the control module like an Easter egg to get inside it. Shame on you Creative. 🥵

if a swearing competition had taken place that day then I would have been undisputed world champion…..😭
