Hello All
I am very knowledgeable about most aspects of MB's but.. trying to decipher front panel HD audio from the posts here and elsewhere have confused me. I have a Casatunes licensed server and I am upgrading the Mini ITX MB to new. I can use the front headphone output along with rear 7.1 output to deliver 5 separate stereo pairs to my Russound WHA unit.
I will take an old HDAUDIO cable, cut off the circuit board and AC97 plug and connect only the headphone output to a 1/8' miniplug jack. I do NOT want it to turn off the rear output when it is connected (no autosensing). I don't want input. I don't want amplification, equalization or anything. I only want output that will behave exactly the same as 7.1 speaker connections on the rear.
This additional output (along with 7.1 speaker outputs) will provide me with 5 channels of stereo sound to power 5 inputs of my Russound CAV6.6 whole house audio unit.
Realtek sound from ASROCK N3700-ITX MB
Thanks for any "directed reading" or answers about my audio port question
