Hey guys,
I have a Coolermast CM 690 case and a couple of a sound cards.
The one I'm using now is a PCI Express card that came with my Crosshair motherboard. The top i/o panel has a couple of ways to audio connectors two of which can connect to the PCI Express sound card. The card works fine, except that the drivers are SoundMax which seem to work poorly with my 5.1 speakers.
I also have an older Sound Blaster Audigy2 PCI sound card which I bought along with the speakers for my previous rig. However, the CM 690 top panel connectors don't seem to be compatible. There is an AC'97 connector and an HD Audio connector, but the pin configuration for either doesn't look compatible with any connector on the sound card.
There are also a bunch of loose pins, which I wonder if they could be used to connect to the Sound Blaster card.
Does anybody know how I might be able to connect the CM 690 top panel audio connectors to a Sound Blaster PCI card?
