HEADER CONNECTION GUIDES


connection guide

Diagram 1: On most motherboards, the pinouts of audio ports are grouped together. You need to find out which 3 pins are assigned as L-Out L, L-Out R and GND.

Diagram 2: Simply plug the connector onto the header/pin-out, in such that; orange wire is connected to L-Out L pin, red wire to L-Out R pin and the black wire to GND pin.

connection guide

If the 3 active pins are not located in one same row (refer to diagram above), you need to change the header connector, and rearrange the wires to match with the pin assignments.

NC pin (no connection - empty) is not a GND pin. Do not connect the GND wire to NC pin.

Fix the speaker socket at the back of your PC case (i.e. using the metal plate bundled with CPX088 Casing). Your speakers are plugged into this speaker socket. Plugging in of headphone on the front panel will mute the speakers.
