Front panel audio connections to mtherboard and case Hd audio or AC97

[wlmz]

HELP, panic, could someone research for me! DO NOT want to blowup moterboard by hooking up wrong or wrong connector! I've tried researching but still don't know if can just plug in and which one.

Do not have a clue on hooking up front panel audio header, case comes with two 10 pin connestors.
(one HD audio and one AC 97, these connectors are all one piece can't seperate wires individualy.)

I have a gigabyte GA-MA790X-UD4P and RAIDMAX AZTEC ATX-619WB Computer Case.

Building for my son, my first computer build.

He will just be using headphones on front audio connector (maybe microphone later).

well
i made up my mind
i m selling the case ... and getting an Antec or Thermaltake...
it s no use to get this much trouble from an no-name brand...

my solution is : a device that separates the audio signal from the back of the case : http://www.niharsworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/audio-splitter.jpg ... and an extension cable for my headphones... http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/210H03H8Z3L._SL500_AA300_.jpg
this way i can sit on the couch and watch movies on my 22" screen ... without disturbing anyone 😛

thanks for your help

The difference between AC'97 and Intel HD front panel connections is mainly in that: AC'97 uses 'normally closed' switch for return/sense whereas Intel HD uses 'normally open' switch. So its in the jack and not the wiring. You will have to use different jacks to get auto sense working properly.
