gigabyte 81875 ultra board audio port and an antec sonata piano black case

Hello

I have got a gigabyte 81875 ultra board and an antec sonata piano black case

if i am to connect the case audio lead to the motherboard "connector" would i need to remove the links of the audio in connector on the mobo? it does seem to have 2 links on it, what happens if i just remove the links, i guess the sound wont go to the audio ports on the backplane, correct?

along with the gigabyte 81875 ultra, came some sort of a pci plane (the metallic structure which serves as a plane on the pci backplane, dont know what we call that) which has multiple outputs

SPDIFOUT, RCI, SUB CENTER, REAR R/L

on the mobo side of things, it has 2 connectors and i suspect they go into SPDIF_IO and F_AUDIO, am i correct, in that case i guess i would have to remove the links on the F_AUDIO mobo port again, correct?
 
Well I am trying to understand what you are saying but not entirely sure. By links are you refering to the jumpers that got across a couple of pins, where the front panel audio cable connects to? You would connect the front panel audio connector from the case, to the F_Audio connector on the motherboard. There are 2 jumpers on it you need to remove. The wiring from the case connector will take the place of the jumpers, so both the front and rear connectors will work. Your motherboard manual shows the correct way to connect the front panel audio..
 
thanks for the reply

yes i did mean links. if i am to remove the jumpers then would the connection between the mobo and back panel(rear connectors) break, and hence in case i stick in the wires i just get an active front panel
 
You have to remove the jumpers to connect the front panel. Then if you put the front panel wires on, they also have a jumper across those pins, so both the front and the rear will work. But when you plug in something to the front, it will turn off whats connected in the back.
