So I built this machine for a friend. He wanted an Asus MB & a P4-3.2 blah
blah blah.....
He selected a case with front USB, Audio & Firewire. I told him that the
MB he wanted did not have Firewire on-board & he would need an add on card
which we purchased.
So I go to connect it all, the Firewire cables from the case do not have an
standard connector, only the wires that go to Firewire headers on MBs that
have them. No headers like that on the adapter card. I am unable to
locate an adapter to be able to use these loose wires with plastic
connectors on the ends & plug into a standard Firewire port. This can't be
the 1st time this ever happened to someone. Any suggestions?
The audio..... I can connect it up fine & it works, but then the back
ports do not. My friend wants to be able to use his fancy speakers & then
use the front ports for his fancy headset when it gets late. I called
Asus on this one & they told me that the case hookups do not support this
function with this MB as it requires a "loop-back" system to the case (from
the MB audio headers) to the front audio & BACK again to the "b" audio
headers on the MB. Anyone ever see a case that has that?
Thanks in advance!
