speaker cables rerouted to front question...

[name9902]

simple question...i have a comp that has 2 front audio ports, 1 for a mic and 1 for headphones.

inside the comp there are a regular mic and speaker pin going from the front ports into the case.

i was just wondering what these 2 cables would be used for? do they go all the way into the ports in the back maybe? or possibly they plug into a sound card?

i dunno...can anyone help me out here?

dont understand what your asking

do you mean what do the mobo headers connect to?

those cables connect to the mb and in most cases, they will be jumpers to change so they work, but in most cases the rear ports will be disabled in the process, there are a few boards out that will allow both front and rear to work at the same time, since we dont know the mb make or model, its hard to say...

hmm, if i did plug the cables coming from the front ports into the mobo (ie the back of the case) where would i plug speakers in if i wanted to hook some speakers up? the front of the case?

 

[allanon1965]

that is pretty much the idea.....

any thoughts on how i can get both the back and front outlets to work for sound?

 

[allanon1965]

well what motherboard are we dealing with? we need some specs before we can help you...

next question is are the cables from the front of your case the kind where they have actual plugs on them that plug itno a hole(male) or are they plugs that go over a post (female)?

they are male
