Front panel audio and system front panel...

[tophergannon]

I'm putting an ASUS A7V8X-X into an Antec Sonata and really need some assistance plugging the connectors in right.

For the front panel audio, my motherboard's connectors go like this:

AGND| +5VA | BLINE_OUT_R | | BLINE_OUT_L
----------------------------------------------------------------
MIC2 | MICPWR | Line out_R | NC | Line out_L

My Antec Sonata's plugs are as follows:

NUC
RET-L
RET-R
MICBIAS
AUD GND
FPOUT-R
FPOUT-L

Could anybody help me out and let me know which plugs go to what? The mobo manual isn't much help, and the case manual refers to different names for everything.

For the system front panel, my mobo manual refers to a "Hard disk connector (2-pin IDE_LED)" which it says "connects to the front panel HD LED and lights up on every read/write activity of any of the disc drives connected to the primary or secondary IDE slots." The plug for this one is located right above the system front panel connectors, but it is not part of it.

On the next page, however, the manual describes a "Hard Disk LED (2-pin IDE_LED)", which it says "connects to the front panel HD LED and lights up on every read/write activity of any of the disc drives connected to the primary or secondary IDE slots." The plug for this one is actually on the system panel.

Which do I use?

I know this is a big and long question, but if you know the answer to any parts of it, please, please let me know.

I've used the separate 2-pin HDD LED connector on a number of different ASUS MBs. As for the audio connections I'd email Antec for the proper connections for your MB.
