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

Question

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

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
