X-fi and front panel audio connectors

[redsky009]

Just had a look and I can't figure out how to connect the front panel audio connectors to the X-Fi - there is a straight 10 pin connector on top of the card but none of the case plugs fit it.... any X-Fi owners succeeded in doing this? Where do you get the plug?

I struggled also, after googling a lot I found out the connections for the x-fi are meant for their front panel only. Apparantly Custompc say there may be a way to do it so look out for future updates.

cool

yeah, after posting I googled some more and found a white connector that fits the 10 pin bit on the card (bookmarks are on home pc)...dunno where to get it here though.

using the I/O bay would be fine if it had 3.5 mm jacks as well as the large ones they only provide one converter so I can only have headphone or microphone plugged in at a time, not both o_0

I have the bookmarks at home for the info, I'll post when I get back.. otherwise look through creative's forums, there were a few posts there about it...

This is an example of how to make your own with the white plug and part number (havent found it in the UK yet though):
