I just built my computer, and I'd like to hook up my front audio jacks to my sound card (Audigy 2 ZS). I have the following cables to plug into the sound card somewhere but not sure where to plug them in:

MIC-IN
GND
L-IN
L-OUT

MIC-IN
GND
R-IN
R-OUT

I'm looking for anyone to tell me where to plug what things in where, so that I can get these things working. Thanks for any help with this matter...

This page might be of some help, but I don't think that it'll totally solve your problem:

Hi Boxter
Let me get this right, you have 2 phono sockets on the front of the pc yes?
Are they input or output?
In any case they should be wired to the sound card anyway.
If "Input" you can attach an external tape deck for example.
If "Output" you can attach the pc to a dedicated 5.1 dolby didgital system or other things.
If I'm reading you right you seem to want to attach the sound back to it's self.
Just a thought anyway.

I just build my computer a few weeks ago and had the same problem. I put a audigy 2 zs gamer in mine and have an antec super lanboy case. See the link below for a forum where someone labeled the 10 pins on the card.

I couldn't get mine to work but only because the connectors on the end of each individual wire were bigger than the space between each pin.

The case I have is this one:

And these are the audio/USB hookups at the front:

I currently own a Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS, and I'm trying to get the pins hooked up to the sound card. The pins were labeled as I listed above, I just haven't found a site that has those same pins and where to plug them in.

And tosh9i, I wasn't able to load that page, it was just blank...

Again, looking at the link posted earlier, the ten pins on the audigy 2 zs card are:

1. Analog Ground
2. Analog Left headphone out
3. Audio backpanel mute
4. Analog right headphone out
5. Audio backpanel mute
6. Mic input from front panel
7. Key pin??
8. Voltage reference for Mic
9. Mic in mute
10. Audio cable detect

Below is the reply from twisted_steel who talks about the same hookups as Boxster17.

R-in
R-out
Grnd
Mic-in

L-in
L-out
Grnd
Mic-in

The Power cable of the front-audio panel is pre-connected to the motherboard. So I don't worry about it. All I want to know is how to connect the above 8 cables to Audigy 2 ZS card? How would I connect them to Audigy 2 pin assignments (upper left white section on the sound board) following your instruction? Please reply. Thank you a lot.The headers on the white section do not seem to support speaker input - that may be somewhere on the livedrive connector, though I have no idea where to find those pinouts. For speaker output, hook R-out up to pin 4, L-out to pin 2, and mic in to pin 6. I'm going to take off my case cover in a bit to see what speaker channels I have going to what speaker, because I don't remember if they were flipped or not, though this could be because of my case. After you hook up the leads to the pins on the soundcard, leave the side of the case off in case anything isn't completely connected. Go into the Creative Speaker Settings program, switch it to headphones, and use the test program to make sure you can hear both your left and right channels, and that they are of course on the right side of the headphones. Once it is set, you can close your door and it should stay connected properly without any problems. The only ones I have encountered is when I move my case (from school to home, to a LAN party, etc). Sometimes the leads can be jiggled a bit loose from the car ride - I'm still trying to figure out a good way to secure them on the board.

Hope it helps.
