Any way to buy control box separately?

As far as I know, Strix Raid Pro is technically absolutely the same soundcard as Strix Soar, but with a control box added in the package.

I have Strix Soar, can I buy the control box separately?

Don't bother it's a waste of space wish I didn't go for the raid pro and I would of saved £40, all it does is let you hot switch speakers to and from headphones and control the volume. just look for a mixamp or get a used astro mixamp off ebay like I did.

I bought my Phoebus as a Solo card, since the price for the control to the full Phoebus was about 50 + Euros in Romania, got lucky and found one second hand for about 8 euros. I only use it for the Mics inside it.

You`re not missing out anything if you don`t have that control box that for some reason Asus asks a lot of $$$.

Well... That still didn't answer the question.
I bought the Strix Soar, and now I regret not having the control box, because it can switch between headphones and speakers with a button, am I right?

It's not easy switching now... Because I have to open the Sonic Studio and click there (and maybe my pc sucks, but that takes like 5 secs, which is not a lot, but it's not fast either)

Is there anyway to create a macro or something? A control box would be very useful to me.

Impossible to buy the control box separately?

Uh.. is bumping bad?
