ThefrontpanelaudioheadersupportsIntelHighDenitionaudio(HD)andAC'97audio.Youmayconnect
your chassis front panel audio module to this header. Make sure the wire assignments of the module con-
nector match the pin assignments of the motherboard header. Incorrect connection between the module
connector and the motherboard header will make the device unable to work or even damage it.
For HD Front Panel Audio: For AC'97 Front Panel Audio:
• The front panel audio header supports HD audio by default. If your chassis provides an AC'97 front
panelaudiomodule,refertotheinstructionsonhowtoactivateAC'97functionalityviatheaudio
softwareinChapter6,"Conguring2/4/5.1/7.1-ChannelAudio."
• Audio signals will be present on both of the front and back panel audio connections simultaneously. If
youwanttomutethebackpanelaudio(onlysupportedwhenusinganHDfrontpanelaudiomodule),
refertoChapter6,"Conguring2/4/5.1/7.1-ChannelAudio."
• Some chassis provide a front panel audio module that has separated connectors on each wire instead
of a single plug. For information about connecting the front panel audio module that has different
wireassignments,pleasecontactthechassismanufacturer.
