Is there any way to remedy this or is my soundcard doomed to oblivion? This really sucks, i bought the soundcard when it was way expensive

HELP GUYS!!!! Thanks!



Just trace the track back to a pad, then run a thin insulated wire from that point to the corresponding leg on the OPAMP.

Ok well i tried the operation on my card today but unfortunately since i decided to unsolder the old Op-Amp i managed to pull off one of the tracks. Do i just need to trace the track back and solder a wire onto the corresponding pin on the new op-amp or is there something else i need to do?

you could try that. cross your fingers that the trace you lifted doesn't cross a via before the point it tore off...

While trying to remove the original opamp for L/R channel I accidentally scraped off the two of the eight contacts on the circuit board.. Now there are only 6 contacts for the 8 pins of the opamp. (Now sound only plays on the left channel)... HELP GUYS!!!! Thanks!



Reference picture, SB0460 (X-FI XtremeMusic), for another person, who ripped pads.... Good Luck!

Nope, the reason why I'm asking Is because when it fell out I can't find it. I didn't even notice it was gone when I lost it. If it's essential I guess I can take out the same component from one of the other channels, since I dont use the surround channels.
