I'm trying to find a replacement for my broken jack socket.

So far I've found this:

All dimensions here match, however I'm concerned about the way the pins are arranged. If I read the layout view correctly, pins 3 and 4, as well as 5 and 6 are connected. It seems to me that it follows the AC'97 standard, but my old socket connects pins 4 and 5, and my motherboard has HD audio.
I'm unable to find such a socket. Am I forced to somehow modify the one I found?

broken jack socket
What is the device that you're trying to repair with said input port/socket? If i's a case, please mention the make and model of your case. In essence the jack isn't of much concern so long as you connector on the PCB is the same dimension and pinout.
