Configure front panel in zebronics motherboard

Hi,

According to Intel, these are your front panel connectors for your motherboard:

Intel® Desktop Boards use a 9-pin chassis front panel header.


And according to Zebronics: Hardware Installation - Zebronics - Always Ahead - Largest Range of Peripherals



So I am unsure as to your pins on the cabinet, are these not for rear?
Can you provide a Screenshot or layout?

1. GND
2,MIC in
3 Mic power
4 R-out R-ret
5 L-out L-ret.


Cheers

Hi,

Here is all the layout for your motherboard, I have highlighted in red the Audio connections available
and the Front Panel header location on the Motherboard.



The audio connection as you can see differs from what you show me in the pic.

This is usually the type connector used to connect the audio to this motherboard:


What is the exact model of your Zebtronics cabinet?
Do you have the instruction book that came with cabinet and pin layout suggestions?


Perhaps the front panel connectors are not compatible with this motherboard?

cheers

Dave

As part of the HD audio specifications, compatibility has to be maintained with both HD and AC'97 front panels (although with the latter, i.e. AC'97, functions such as automatic muting of speakers connected to the rear sockets will not occur).

With reference to the post above, specifically the audio header highlighted in red, make the connections as follows:

GND 2
MIC-IN 1
MIC-POWER 3
R-OUT 5
L-OUT 9

There is no point in connecting either of the returns, i.e. R-RET or L-RET.

Thanks, but Dwarf has given the instructions on how to wire the Front pins:

Hi,

Like I said previously, I do not think your Cabinet Front pins are compatible with the Motherboard
as you have no HD Audio connector to connect to the header.
