Sound Blaster Audigy 4 and front panel audio connector

If you are using a sound card, you cannot use the front panel audio connection on the motherboard. Disconnect the cable and RETURN THE JUMPERS TO WHERE THEY WERE. Not that you did wrong, just that the jumpers should be placed back where you took them off.
If your sound card has a front panel audio, you can connect that.

I have the same issue, because there is no "standard intel" front panel audio connector on an audigy 4 soundcard. I find that to be absurd, that the most well known soundcard brand, with what used to be their highest end soundcard (audigy 4) does not have a case panel connector??

on the other hand, my case also has some seperate individual pin connectors (asus 900 case) and the case manual says I can use those instead if i can figure out the pin configuration on my soundcard without a standard panel connector. I did not want to put up with the headache of trying to find out what the pin configuration of my soundcard is (and if this is even possible anyways) so I gave up at that point.
