Wow, thank you so much.I need to know where the pin34 goes. And this is what i made. IMG_6337.jpg
Oh Jesus, what a mess!.. But it's not unfixable though..
Sadly, on the Elite pro, i have 4 individual stereo DACs, instead of the single CS4382.. so I can't help you :frowning2:
But what I CAN say, is that you should clean the area as best as possible with alcohol, a soft brush, and some cotton swabs.. so that you can see things as best as possible. And then gently try to scrape the black paint off the rest of the broken trace, and probe it with a multimeter (so you can then strap some wires to a solid contact point).
This is totally fixable.
Best of luck!!

Yes, this is because of my cheap heatgun at home. Cant go out to my store so it was the result :) Actually i scraped the pcb mask but there is no trace to go that pin which is weird. Some paths are under the IC but even i scraped there, there is nothing. Also i looked to closer pictures from internet couldnt figured it out. It cant be blank because its analog output b2+ and there is a path for b2- . I bought second hand different model of the creative sound card which have cs4382kqz too. I will trace from it. Also someone can help to me here who have the same card i hope :) Anyway, thanks for your help, at least you tried. I really appreciated.
Stay safe!
