Yeah, anyone here have a Gigabyte S3 (or its iterations like the DS3, which I assume to be roughly similar in the case cable connectors) that managed to get the Antec P180's front LEDs and audio and mic jacks to work? I don't have the manual with me (forgot it at home), but I don't know what wires to put where on the mobo. I'd like to get these working for conveniences' sake.

Thanks. :)

The mobo's front panel header will have legends printed in small type right next to it that will tell you where to put what (get out your magnifying glass). Generally the front panel connectors will have one colored wire and one black or white wire. The colored wire will go on the + pin for LEDs, spkr, etc. - the + pin for each function usually a little + sign next to it as well.

Antec has an online manual PDF linked right on the product page. Click the flag that signifies your language (british flag for english, duuuh).

He helps those who help themselves.

For the front audio jacks to work you have to connect the cable to the motherboard, and then in the Realtek audio application disable jack sensing and it should work.

Yep, follow what Zepper and MDE said and you'll be good to go. I have a P180 and a DS3 and all my LEDs/jacks/buttons work.

On a side note; the volume I get thru the headphone jack is unacceptably LOW. I've tried three different pairs of phones, too. No amount of control panel fiddling can fix it. Not a big deal as I don't really use headphones. Just thought I'd mention that.

ps
Yeah, I tried BOTH jacks since they are not labled which one is MIC and which is PHONES! Screwups on Antec's part, there!
