GA-X58A-UD3R // HAF 932 Case - Front audio pin assignments?

GA-X58A-UD3R // HAF 932 Case - Front audio pin assignments?
« on: February 19, 2011, 09:19:28 pm »
I built my pc a few months back and never bothered setting up the front audio, now I'm looking to get it set up and working. Mobo user's manual says it supports both HD audio and AC97, just make sure the pins match. Looking at the pin configuration of the case its hard to tell if they are different abbreviations or completely different assignments....anyone wanna help? These are whats listed in the manuals:

     MOBO----------CASE        HD Audio

1.  MIC2_L              PORT1L
2.  GND                   AUD GND
3.  MIC2_R             PORT1R
4.  -ACZ_DET         PRESENCE#
5.  LINE2_R            PORT2R
6.  GND                  SENSE1_RETURN
7.  FAUDIO_JD      SENSE_SEND
8.  No Pin               No Pin
9.  LINE2_L            PORT2L
10. GND                 SENSE2_RETURN

     MOBO----------CASE        AC`97

1.   MIC                  MIC
2.   GND                 GND
3.   MIC Power       MIC~BIAS
4.   NC                   No Pin
5.   Line Out (R)    FPOUT-R
6.   NC                   RET-R
7.   NC                   NO DEFINITION
8.   No Pin              No Pin
9.   Line Out (L)     FPOUT-L
10. NC                   RET-L


HD seems like it might be a match, but I'm not positive. My roommate ruined his mobo  when he first tried to use his front audio ports (was running fine for a few days, tried headphones in the front and ZAP, computer shut off and didnt turn back on) so I'm proceeding with caution.

Thanks =]

Hi and welcome to the Gigabyte Forum.

Well luckilly I have this case and the motherboard is in the same series so I can say that there is no problem with the front panel sound connections as default. From memory I think I set it up for the AC97 connnection but I cannot be sure and I can't see the connector on the motherboard.
