hey all, i just got a sound card in the mail. creative sb0570 and it comes with a cable and i have no idea what its for. it came with no manual. the manual that i can find online is no help either. The cable has a white female end that plugs into the card with a black male end. the male end is a 6 pin connector that looks like it would go on the MOBO but cant seem to find where. all of my MOBO connections that look similar are all male. any help would be great. thanks.

If your cable is looking similar to this one below then it's for your case front audio connector. Unplug your audio connector from your MoBo and plug it into there. This way, you mic and headphones go through your dedicated sound card with better sound quality.
