Front Panel Audio

Hi Everyone,

        I am bit of inexperienced hardware enthusiast. Recently I tried assemblying a PC with DG31PR with C2D 2.66 GHz. Everything went well uptill I started connecting my Cabit's front panel Audios to the mother board. Motherboard has following markings

1 [Port 2] Left channel 2 Ground                                       2. Ground

3 [Port 2] Right channel 4 PRESENCE# (Dongle present)       4.PRESENCE# (Dongle present)

5 [Port 1] Right channel 6 [Port 1] SENSE_RETURN               6.[Port 1] SENSE_RETURN

7 SENSE_SEND (Jack detection) 8 Key (no pin)                     8.Key (no pin)

9 [Port 2] Left channel 10 [Port 2] SENSE_RETURN              10.[Port 2] SENSE_RETURN

While the front cabinet has following leads:

Audio-L

Audio-R

Mic-in

Mic-Power

Ground

How do I interconnect? I know this is a substandard problem or this forum but not for me! Any help is appreciated.

Not quite sure what you mean. Are you having issues connecting the front audio or getting it to work?

I believe Maverick wants to connect his case's front MIC and AUDIO plugs to his mobo, Bob.

Exactly bob....My whole PC is working fi9 nw but i couldn't connect Motherboard to Cabinet's front panel ( I am  ashamed!!)

U r right ...Super Dave! Tht's wat I want. Have u got any idea ...hw to go about this?

I would look at the mobo manual that came with it. It will have a diagram in there explaining the front audio hook ups for the mobo. Also each case has a tad diffrent design for its audio connectors so you might need to play around the the connections to get them to work.

I tried hooking mine up twice now, and every time i do my PC wont boot so I just gave up eventually, and use the ports on the back of the PC. much more simple...lol

Your description sounds like you are looking at the connections on the back of the motherboard. You connect the front audio wires to pins located within the part of the motherboard that is inside the case, rather than to the connections that protrude from the I/O shield. The audio pins are labeled. They may be near the connections for the other front case connections such as the power switch, hard drive LED, and reset switch.payday advance loans voipOr, they may be located towards the back by the PCI buses. Either way, look at the pins on the motherboard and read the small type beside them to find the ones labeled audio.
