???help with connections of new build???

[skiingliberal]

Two quick questions. How the hell do I plug in the usb2/firewire/audio jacks on the top of a Thermaltake tsunami in an asus A8v deluxe???

Also, My audigy 2 zs sound card didn't cd wires, is this okay?? do I need to buy some, or is it allright just seated in pci slot?

Thanks for the help.

I have the same case and mobo. The instructions in the mobo manual give a better descrip than the case manual, but neither give a very detailed description on how to properly do this. TT's website has a description on how to do this as well. Your Audigy 2 is fine "just" seated in the pci slot. As far as connecting the case wiring to the mobo I did a google search during my build on a more detailed description of which wires go where I will look for it again and post it later for ya. Read the manuals closely and you will get a very good idea where they go. Be patient as it can get aggrevating hooking them up for they are so tiny.

Try this.

Link to Manual

Get a pair of tweezers & plug in the wires you are sure of. Watch polarity(+,-). When you finish, look at the markings on the plastic plugs & look in the manual for the same description.

What I'm really curious about is how I connect the earphone leads from the top of the case. Do they go into the soundcard?
or into the Mobo? What leads translate into what? Oh, yeah, the thermaltake manual sucks ass.

LOL the TT manual does suk. The earphones connect to the mobo. Translation of BLINE_OUT_R / LINE_OUT_L / MICPWR / AGND is what you are asking I assume. I'm still lookin for ya on that.

I used this LINK problem is that the a8v mobo calls these same connections by a different name. So confusing. Good link though.

Also, when I turn on my computer now, all I hear is a shrill beep, that does not go away. Anyone know what's up?

How many beeps are there, how many short beeps and how many long beeps. It is trying to tell you something it is a trouble shooting code.
