How to: Connect Front Panel to X-Fi Music

post #1 of 12
Thread Starter 
Found it, tested it, and happily using it!

Here is the pin layout of the internal fornt panel jack header pins, it's the same as Audigy 2's:

Rest of Card

1 - 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 - No Connection
8 - VREF out -- voltage reference for Mic
9 - MIC IN MUTE -- ground when mic isn't plugged in, +12VDC when mic is plugged in
10 - Audio cable detect -- will be ground when headphones are plugged in (not normally used)

Slot pointing outside your PC

Thank god for google!

Nope...this is the single array of pins next to the cd plug on the side of the xfi sound card. You plug in the cables from your front audio here.

well this is for people that want to hook up their sound card to the front audio PROVIDED by their cases. if you want to buy the front drive that comes with the more expensive x-fi platinum, it is available at buy.com for $70 with not sh fees.
