Hi, this might be an unanswerable question and may be "just how it is now" as times have changed, so it's more of a concern than anything particularly "wrong" with my new case. I bought my new Armoury case (C802B Tempered Glass Mid-Tower) a few weeks ago, and I decided to transfer my old motherboard to the new case tonight, and hook it all back up again. All is well, except the case has a new audio connector, where the old case had an AC97 connector wire that the new case does not have. I was able to plug the audio cable into the audio header with no issue. I thought, ok, well if this is the new way of doing things, this is what I have to do in order to hear audio.
Now, the only way I can listen to audio using my Cambridge Soundworks sound system is to plug the green RCA jack into the top "SPK" plug, but then there's no RCA jack to plug the woofer into and I can't hear any base now. Why is there is no AC 97 audio connector on new cases? If I plug in the RCA jacks (1 green, 1 black) into the mb where they were on my old system, I can only hear the sound out of one of my monitors and it sounds very tinny because there is no place for the sound to go except to the monitor. I could never be satisfied with that, after all these years of listening to audio from my Cambridge system. It's almost like I'm being forced to go out and spend hundreds on some sort of equivalent of the Cambridge system to hear sound clearly now because this is the only way it works now. Desktop speakers will definitely not do.
