Front pannel audio connector

[GrayTech]

I'm currently working on a build in an older case but the front pannel audio isn't just one connector. I have 2 GND pins, 1 Mic In, 1 Mic Bias, 1 Speaker L which is connected to a second Speaker L and 1 Speaker right which is connected to a second speaker right. But I don't know how to connect these pins to my motherboard connector. The board supports HD-Audio and AC 97 connectors (have to configure it via bios). Can anybode help me?

I would try to look for an adapter if that exists,

but honestly.. you don't really need front panel audio.

It's actually really terrible quality.

Rear audio is way better so if worse comes to worse, just use that and don't worry about it

An adapter wouldn't help since I don't have 1 connector. I have 8 individual connectors which have to go into the motherboard.

I probably won't use the front pannel audio but the build feels unfinished without it plugged it.

Yea, I feel you. 

I hate not completing stuff too..

 

There may be an adapter that takes all of that and converts them to HD audio though just getting you to plug each connector into a bigger connector that converts to HD audio. I'm not sure about that, but it'd be worth looking. 

 

You'd have more luck if you knew the exact name of the cable type for each one so you could google it easier. There's got to be a name for that standard.  If the case has a manual, they're probably listed there.

I already tried google but I had no luck since the lables of the pins are different. But I just found the answer on another forum where a user had the same problem. Thanks for your help!

Awesome, post the answer here just in case anyone else has this problem and mark that comment as solved when you're done
