The connector is marked F_audio and it is located directly behind the rear facing audio jacks. should be only one plug either marked "hd audio" OR "ac97 audio". some cases are setup for either, but you only need one of them depending on what your motherboard supports.

11) F_AUDIO (Front Audio Connector)
This connector supports either HD (High Definition) or AC97 front panel audio module. If you wish
to use the front audio function, connect the front panel audio module to this connector. Check the pin
assignments carefully while you connect the front panel audio module. Incorrect connection
between the module and connector will make the audio device unable to work or even damage it.
For optional front panel audio module, please contact your chassis manufacturer.
By default, the audio driver is configured to support HD Audio. To connect an AC97 front panel
audio module to this connector, please refer to the instructions on page 72 about the software
settings.

I HAVE A NEW CASE, & NEED TO CONNECT THE FRONT UBB & AUDIO LEADS. CAN YOU HELP, CHEERS

Hi there, first check the image below. You've got USB 3 and 4, and AUDIO section. For the USB, pins 1 and 2 represent front panel USB power on both 3 and 4. As for AUDIO connection, pin 1 is Front Panel Microphone input signal, pin 3 is Microphone Power, pins 5 and 6 are for Right Channel audio signal to Front Panel and pins 9 and 10 are for Left Channel audio signal to Front Panel.

You can find more details in the motherboard's manual, page 23 and 24.

Hi! i am using Intel DG33FB motherboard, i need the information about the connectivity of front pannel audio. for this it is Realtek HD audio port. i am having 5 cables set for the front pannel...

The L&R-Ret2&3 are common so only one needs fitting so for the speakers you only need to connect 3 cables. R-Out, L-Out and one return (either L of R). I'll comment back shortly on the mic pins for you.

How to connect audio from motherboard p5s800

It is Asus P5S800-VM motherboard. Download the manual from Asus, click the link provided;
http://www.asus.com/Search.aspx?SearchKey=P5S800-VM
You'll need to download and install Adobe reader to view the manual;
http://www.adobe.com/products/reader/

Turn to page 1-29. Section 11. Front panel audio connector (10-1 pin FP_Audio1). Notice there are two jumpers. One across pins 9 and 10. Another across pins 5 and 6. Pin one is marked, AGND and pin two is marked MIC2. ECT.
This is default setting when using the rear audio jacks. You can not run rear audio and front audio at the same time. (So pick one or the other). To run front case audio remove the jumpers and connect the I/O cables to the FP_Audio1 pins. There is a work around. You can buy an adapter that will split the audio from the rear allowing you to connect secondary audio and mic ports. Open the link provided;
http://www.cablestogo.com/product.asp?cat_id=2009&sku=40422
You can buy these locally. To connect the FP_Audio remove the jumpers and connect the I/O cable to FP_audio pins. Use Adobe reader and zoom in. You'll find each pin is marked.


Cheers'
Mike

How can i connect my frontal audio

Connect the cables from the front audio ports that comes from your computer box to the pins on your motherboard. The cables have markings on it eg. left, right and ground (can't remember exactly) which you have to connect to the corresponding pins on your motherboard. You will have to look in your motherboard manual for info on the pins.

Frontpanel sound

By default, the pins labeled LINE OUT_R/BLINE_OUT_R and the pins LINE OUT_L/BLINE_OUT_L are shortened with jumper caps. You should remove the caps ONLY when you are connecting the front audio cable. So, if you are going to use the back panel, you should short the pins mentioned earlier. You cannot use the back panel and the front panel at the same time. If you want to use your headphones using the back panel, short the mentioned pins and connect your headphones to the green header of your back panel audio. If you want to use the front panel, take off the jumper caps and connect the front panel cable. Remember, if you connect the front panel audio cable, you won't be able to use the back panel. If you are going to use the back panel, don't forget to return the jumper caps. Usually the 5-6 and 9-10 pins. Hope this helps.
