Help with FP Audio from case to MB (Raven RV03 / Gigabyte Sniper)

[ABalthazor]

I'm unsure if I've got this right, so some confirmation would be great if anyone has any insight.

The Sniper's FP audio header reads as:

1. Mic_L
2. Gnd
3. Mic_R
4. ACZ_DET (?)
5. Line_R
6. Mic_Det
7. Gnd
8. No Pin
9. Line_R (typo? might mean Line_L?)
10. Line_Det

My new RV03 case has the following pins in a module which I can adjust as needed:

1. Port1L (Mic_L?)
2. Aud Gnd
3. Port1R (Mic_R?)
4. Presence (there is no wire connected to this!)
5. Port2R (Line_R?)
6. Sense1_Return (Mic_detect?)
7. Sense_Send (?)
8. No pin
9. Port2L (Line_L?)
10. Sense2_Return (Line_detect?)

So most of the pins appear to line up (assuming I'm right and that the Raven's Port 1 is the Mic and Port 2 is the line out.) I'm not sure what the ACZ_DET pin on this motherboard is about, nor am I sure about the Presence and Sense_Send pins listed on the Raven's FP audio module (and why is there no wire connected to the Raven's Presence pin?)

I did send an email to Silverstone about the vacant Presence pin, to see if that was intended or a defect.

Any assistance is appreciated!

Dont you have two black block connectors on the case audio wires? One should say ac97 and other should say hdaudio,they just plug into the mb audio socket either one should plug on fine however hdaudio is the best to use

Thank you for your response.

This case only has the Intel-spec HD audio connector. But, as mentioned above, it has no wire connected to the 'presence' pin, pin 4.

This Gigabyte motherboard appears to follow the intel HD audio connector spec, except I'm not sure about pins 4 and 7. As it stands, if I plug the case audio connector into the MB, these will connect like this:

MB / RV03
4. ACZ_DET -> No wire
7. Gnd -> Sense_Send

Is that going to be ok? Or should I swap pins 4 and 7 from the case so that the case's Sense_Send is connected to the MB's ACZ_Det?

It's normal for one pin to be missing,mine is the same on a nzxt lexa case,plug the hd audio block into the mb and it should work fine

Thanks, I'll try that.
