Connecting the front audio to my Audigy 2

Is there any possibilty to do this? I know Creative wants to sell platinum dri'ves, but the pins are there on the card.
I have a Thermaltake Soprano Case and 7 Connectors named:
MIC VCC
MIC-IN
GROUND
EAR R
EAR L
RETUR R
RETURN L
Is someone here who knows where to put these or where to find a description?
Also I would like to connect my Firewire Port to the Audiy, is the pinout the same as on my mainboard?

As you can see from the picture there, if you connect those pins 25/35 you can get S/PDIF signal out from pin 9 or S/PDIF in to pin 5 (not sure what else you need to do to get it working --> this all is discuissed on Driver Heaven Forum).
You are asking for analog lines for those connectors Thermaltake Soprano Case has:
MIC VCC = microphone 'phantom power' (2V?)
MIC-IN = microphone input (mono?)
GROUND
EAR R = headphones Right
EAR L = headphones Left
RETURN R = perhaps line in, right
RETURN L = -- '' --, left
It should have helped, since there is a mention: all possible I/Os on card layout are digital only including those shown on that picture you linked (only the AnalogIn for CD (and perhaps the AUX_IN too) on card is analog).
Only way to get analog signal for/from your connectors mentioned is to use/wire connectors from the back of the Audigy card to these on case ones.
You can try (your own risk) if you get signal inputted when you connect return L/R to AUX_IN (Connects to the analog output from a CD/DVD-ROM dri've).
Perhaps your motherboard has I/Os for these connectors.

  • Can't find the pin to connect the front panel of IPMMB-FM motherboard

    Hi,
    So i have a HPE h8-1240t. My motherboard is: 
    Manufacturer: IPMMB-FM
    HP: Formosa
    Here is the picture of my motherboard:

    I just bought a new case (Thermaltake Commander MS-I Black). I was trying to swap the system from the old case to the new case. Also, this is my first time doing this. I just keep everything except the case. No luck, i could not connect the front panel such as power switch button, reset button, HDD LED...etc which came with the new case. Any idea how to connect those buttons? THanks very much. 
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Yes.  The leads in the picture I took from the case manual go on the appropriate pins on the F_Panel block in the lower right near the SATA ports.  The pinout should be marked next to the jack in terms very similar to the wire designations.

  • How do I connect the front-of-case audio inputs to my x-fi extreme mus

    Pretty much as it says in the title! I want to connect the microphone and headphone connectors to my extreme music, but i can't work out which pins to connect them to. Is there a diagram showing what each pin is for? I've been googling for ages and can't fine one.

    You can go here http://www.devhardware.com/forums/multimedia-73/audigy-2-zs-front-of-case-audio-mic-connectors-5584-8.html
    and to make an adaptor so that the pins fit firmly, you can click here
    http://audigy2zshowto.blogspot.com/
    There is a white connector in the top left of the sound card.
    Here is the pin layout for that connector (I did not make this. The headphone and mic jacks seem correct; But other pins may not be, as I have not confirmed them all yet):
    pin 0 is closest to the back panel of the card. See this http://www.devhardware.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=983
    for a picture submitted by Davidl9999 in the above devhardware link.
    - Analog Ground
    2 - Analog Headphone Out Left
    3 - Audio Backpanel Mute -- short to ground to mute the backpanel (when headphones are plugged in)
    4 - Analog Headphone Out Right
    5 - same as #3
    6 - Mic input from front panel
    7 - key pin (shouldn't be there)
    8 - VREF out -- voltage reference for Mic
    9 - MIC IN MUTE -- ground when mic isn't plugged in, +2VDC when mic is plugged in
    0 - Audio cable detect -- will be ground when headphones are plugged in (not normally used)
    *Note: If you connect pin 3 with pin , the back panel on the sound card becomes muted.
    *I know Creative does not give any support about doing this, as they will just tell you it can't be done without ordering the platinum version of their sound card. But that is a fib. I think they are just trying to get more money out of the unsuspecting customer, which is not right. I wonder if this thread will get deleted for me posting this.Message Edited by potatopopper on 0-05-2006 0:03 PMMessage Edited by potatopopper on 0-05-2006 0:07 PM

  • The front audio jack on my mac pro just STOPPED working

    I use my front jack ALL the time.
    It stopped working from one second to the next.
    confirmed that it is NOT the headphones.
    checked preferences, seems ok.
    any thoughts?

    when i wiggle the front jack i get the sound back.
    With that stement I would say it is a faulty jack except for the fact that you say it happens in the back jack too.  I suppose a fault in one could affect the other.  Other than replacing the faulty jack I see no solution.

    If you bought a new case, it should have something on paper that shows the front conecter pinouts for the front audio connecters.
    Hello again.
    On the JAUD there are  9 pins (but only 8 of which are active).  
    There are 7 connectors for the front (4 speakers, 1 ground and then the 2 MIC)).  
    And whilst this case is new, my only complaint is that there is no wiring instructions.
    I hope that helps.

    Hi Frankenputer,
    I'd also like to thank you for such a fast response! I do have a copy of the manual in my grubby little hands and I did read it. That's how  I was able to identify the motherboard pinouts in my first post. I guess that one slipped by you  . The link you provided is great, it'll come in handy if I ever misplace the manual down the road.
    My problem stems from the way the case manufacturer labelled the wires for the front audio connector e.g. using a naming convention that differs from that of the Intel Front Panel I/O Connectivity specification.  Specifically the Mic-VCC, Line-L and Line-R wires.
    Stated simply, I was hoping one of the experts here might be able to tell me/confirm if Mic-VCC should be connected to pin 3 - AUD_MIC_BIAS or to pin 4 - AUD_VCC, and if Line-R should be connected to pin 6 and Line-L to pin 10 on the motherboard.
    Again, thanks for your reply and have a great day!!!
    Fred

  • Front audio connection on Antec Sonata case

    I'm building a new system with K8N Neo Platinum and Antec Sonata.  It's more or less working now execpt for bits and pieces here and there.  I've been scratching my head over the audio connection all afternoon.  The only way I can get audio signal to come out at all is to unplug the front audio line, put the jumpers back and get it out of the back.
    Did anybody manage to get the front panel audio connection on the Sonata working at all?  The pinout for JAUD1 on page 2-20 of the Neo Platinum manual looks exactly the same as front audio header header pin assignment on page 20 of the Intel Front Panel I/O Connectivity Guide.   On the Sonata side, page 4 of the Sonata manual says "If your motherboard supports Intel's standard onboard audio connector, you can plug the 10-pin connector directly onto the board".  So far so good.  Then the Sonata manual goes on to say on page 5:
    8. Rear Right Speaker Out Pin: Connect the RET-R connector to this pin.
    9. Reat Left Speaker Out Pin: Connect RET-L connector to this pin.
    Note:  Your motherboard may not support rear speaker output.  In this case, you do not need to connect RET-R and RET-L.
    This last part makes no sense at all.  According to the Intel document, those RET lines are signals returning from the front panel.  They have nothing to do with rear channel, and they must be connected or you won't get anything from the rear line out jack.  So what's really going on?  Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
    Andy

    Those 8, 9 and the notes only apply if your motherboard does not have the Intel compatibile IO connectors. So you should ignore those lines.

  • What will happen to front audio on computer ca

    Hi, When installing a Sound Blaster Audigy Value card the instructions are to disable the motherboard's onboard audio. I currently have front audio from the computer case connected to the motherboard for private listening with headphones. Does it mean that I can no longer use the front audio connectors after installing the sound card?

    Sorry but i think your out of luck creative are just about the only soundcard manufacturers who dont have front panel connectors.
    Well i suppose they have to sell they're boxes of cheap tricks on the more costly soundcards somehow, if they let you have front panel connectors then no one would buy the higher ranged cards with breakout boxes, not that many do anyway :angry:

  • Front audio with PCI sound card?

    Well, the front audio on my Antec P160W worked perfectly with the integrated sound, but I changed to my SoundBlaster Audigy Player because of the HORRIBLE audio quality. Now the front audio ports don't work. What do I need to do to make it work again? I'm not going back to the integrated.
    At first I thought that I had to put the connectors for the front audio on the sound card, but the manual of it doesn't show any of those features.

    I was wondering that myself. The only thing I think you could possibly do is have both the onboard and the pci sound card enabled and use the onboard sound just for the headphones. I have no tried this yet as I do have the cables connected to the mobo but I have the onboard sound disabled.

  • A55M-P33 Front Audio

    I know there are lots of questions and answers on the front audio ports.   I just want to clarify some stuff.  I have the A55M-P33 motherboard which has the JAUD1 connector.  My case came with the HD and AC97 audio connectors. 
    I currently have the HD option connected to the JAUD1 pins on the motherboard.  If I decide to use that front audio port, is that the correct option to have connected to the motherboard?   
    And on another note, if I decide not to use the front audio ports, then is it okay to just disconnect that from the motherboard?

    HD Audio is correct to have connected! (AC97 is a old type of connector and some cases have that just for if someone uses a old board that uses that)
    If your just going to use the Rear outputs then its ok to not have the front audio plugged in as it will not be in use anyway! 

  • Need help: front audio w/ P55-GD55 and thermaltake armor

    Hey guys,
    I am trying to connect the front panel audio on my thermaltake armor(VA8000BWS) case to my msi p55-gd55 motherboard. My case has 1 wire coming from the front panel with 2 connections on the end that connects to the mobo.  The ear mic chart for my case lists as follows:
    1-EAR R
    2-Return R
    3-EAR L
    4-Return L
    5-MIC IN
    6-MIC VCC or MICBIAS
    7-Ground
    The chart for my motherboard lists as follows:
    1-MIC L
    2-Ground
    3-MIC R
    4-PRESENCE#
    5-HEAD PHONE R
    6-MIC DETECTION
    7-SENSE_SEND
    8-NO PIN
    9-HEAD PHONE L
    10-HEAD PHONE DETECTION
    Do I simply plug in my cable as is or do I have to move around some of the wires? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Quote from: XFM on 14-November-13, 07:56:50
    That is a pretty old case and front panel audio in it is for AL'97 not the HD audio that the MB has. You need to get a front panel audio module for HD audio from somewhere.
    So i can't connect the front panel audio on the MB? It was nice if i could, but no problems then.
    Thx for the help
