I tried posting this in the M59 forum but no replies so I guess I need to post the question here:
For some reason my mobo's AC97 wouldn't work with NZXT's and both the header/casings that came with the box broke (don't ask :Cry: I blame myself) so I have had to strip down to test NZXT's HDaudio wires individually to hook up with an old header/casing I found.
I have been able to get sound off of the front audio... but still have to hook up the MIC.
Through trial and error, I have the following wiring done for audio which works for headphone and speaker (i.e. MIC does not work yet for obvious reasons - it's not hooked up yet)
Pin 01: xxx
Pin 02: Fat black wire (appears to be ground)
Pin 03: xxx
Pin 04: xxx
Pin 05: Blue (appears to be R out)
Pin 06: Shorted with Pin 05 (for rear audio)
Pin 07: Thin Black (with extension going out - the bios would not accept anything else without a beep - assuming +5V live wire)
Pin 08: DO-NOT-USE
Pin 09: Yellow (appears to be L out)
Pin 10: Shorted with Pin 09 (for rear audio)
I am left with Red, Purple, Brown, White, and 2 thin Black wire ... which ones are for MIC input and MIC power and where do they go on the header? This will be a HD-Audio to AC97 typing mapping obviously... can someon post the picture of their stock M59 audio cable header that goes into the mobo so I can rewire please?
THANKS!!!
