Problem connecting front-audio to motherboard

[ttown]

I have a problem/question regarding connecting a front-audio panel to my motherboards on-board pin-outs.

My front-audio panel came with a cable with 6 wires with SINGLE-pin female connectors at the end of each wire -- to connect to the motherboard header. My motherboard, however has 2 rows of 7 pins.
My problem is that 4 of the wires need to touch 2 of the on-board pins (each).

Ideally, I need to convert those 4 (out of the 6 total) wires from a "single-pin connector" to a "double-pin connector" -- but I'm having a heck of a time finding such a thing on the net. I think my main problem is that I don't know the name of what I'm looking for.

Can anyone help?

ps: I have the same problem with the front USB panel-->header connection.

If the case has one wire per pluglet, then you should be able to put them on their proper pins no matter how the mobo has its front-audio header (or front-USB header) laid out. What case and what motherboard do you have, precisely?

I can't find my case model anywhere. It's an AOpen, with a front usb/audio panel with the cables from it having single-pin connectors.
My motherboard is a Biostar M7VIZ with a picture of the header HERE

Maybe this is a dumb question..... Does connecting front-audio automatically disable the rear audio?? ( If yes, then that's my problem)

Proper behavior for front audio is that the sound will continue to come out on the rear jacks until you plug something into the front jacks, at which point the rear jacks go mute until you unplug the stuff from the front jacks again.

I did a little research at AOpen's site about the front-audio wiring. Does your cable look like the one in this picture? If it does, use the monoblock plug (the one at the upper-left) and plug it onto your mobo's header, and let the single-pin pluglets just hang out unconnected.

My cable is similar to that, except there is no "block" (on the left, in your pic). Just the single's like it shows on the right.
Off the "main" block that plugs into the front panel are actually 3 cables, each ending with the single pluglets. The other two are for usb, but they also are just the single pluglets.

Looks like that one you pictured is _almost_ what I want... except that the main plug also connects 2 front usb ports.

Daughter Board B is what is connected to the case front.

Ok, thanks for the clarification Does it look like this one? If so, then that's just a pure USB cable there, with a monoblock end for normal boards and then a batch of pluglets in case you've got a weird board where the pin assignments are all mixed up. I think your audio cable ought to be separate... could they have left it out by accident?

Or maybe they really did merge all the cables into one big one? I guess if they tag one piece of it "USB" and another "Audio," then that would support that theory, but if it's like the one in the photo where the 1-pin pluglets sprout out of the monoblock, then they're electrically connected and that would mean they're all for USB.

the 3 cables really are merged into one "big" block that plugs into the daughter-card (front usb/audio).
They're all clearly labeled: AUDIO - with 6 pluglets; USB1 - with 4 pluglets; USB2 - with 4 pluglets (and each pluglet is labeled too)

I have the sense that if there were such a thing as a "single-pluglet to double-pluglet adapter" everything would be cool.

UPDATE: I don't have an AOpen case (although I could have _swore_ it was)
It's an Enermax CS-10073-B and looks like this at newegg, except it's all black.

Here's a picture that shows what the cable(s) look like.

If anyone knows of a easy/cheap way to convert single-pluglet connectors to double-pin-pluglet connectors, I'd love to hear about it.
Or even if you know what they would be called. I can't be the only one in the world that has this problem...
