SoundBlaster Live pin connectors

[Zedtom]

I'm trying to hook up the front panel connections on my case. I've got two USB ports, a microphone input, and a headphone output. The USB connections to my motherboard are working okay, but I can't figure out how to connect the microphone and headphone connectors to my sound card.

There are L and R headphone single pin connectors for the headphones, and two connectors for the microphone plus a ground connector. The SoundBlaster Live! card has an array of pins, but I don't know which ones to use. SoundBlaster's website is no help at all.

Does anybody have a similar setup? How do I do this?

The array of pins on the SB Live card is for connecting to Creative's LiveDrive CD-ROM drive bay breakout box.

All of the signals on these pins are digital (S/PDIF format) and therefore you simply cannot hookup front panel jacks and get them to work.

To get your front panel audio connectors working you're going to have to split the outputs on the back of your card and run them back into the case to the front.
