SoundBlaster SB0820 Header Pinout

Comment:
I received a SoundBlaster SB0820 PCI-E sound card from a dead Gateway computer. It has a header on it which I believe is for connecting to front audio ports. Unfortunately, the pins are unlabeled and the Gateway site doesn't have the manual for the card.
Does anyone know what the pinout on the card is? Is it the standard AC97 or something else?

Never actually tried to connect the connectors not until I find the pinouts.
