hi,

My motherboard is MSI 915G Combo. It has CMEDIA AZALIA sound chip which supports multistreaming functionality. The sound output can be taken from frontpanel as well as backpanel audio connectors. But the frontpanel connectors are provided as pins in this motherboard. I got a Mercury KM08 ATX cabinet which has frontpanel ports. But how can I connect the pins?? The cabinet have wires to connect the pins to frontpanel.

There are 7 wires for front panel connectors in cabinet which are


1) Line out FR
2) Line out RR
3) Line out FL
4) Line out RL
5) MIC IN(R)
6) GND
7) MIC Power (L)


In my mobos manual the front pannel connection design is given as,


Pin1 - PORT 1L - Analog port 1-left channel
Pin2 - GND - Ground
Pin3 - PORT 1R - Analog port 1- Right channel
Pin4 - PRESENCE# - Active low signal
Pin5 - PORT 2R - Analog Port 2-Right Channel
Pin6 - SENSE1_RETIRN - jack detection return from front pannel jack1
Pin7 - SENSE_SEND - jack detection sense line
Pin8 - KEY - connector key
Pin9 - PORT 2L - Analog Port2-left channel
Pin10 - SENSE2_RETIRN - jack detection return from front pannel jack2




Please help me to connect the pins to the frontpanel connectors of the cabinet!!!!

Someone here had posted an identical query and I'd replied in detail. Try the forum search feature. Hope you find what you're looking for.

Cheers,
