AUX 1X4 PIN HEADER


On some motherboards, the line-in header is by itself, i.e. not grouping with the headphone and microphone pinouts. This line-in header is named as AUX, and consists of 4 pins arranged in 1 row.

To connect to the AUX header, you can use the 1x4 header connector which can be purchased at our webstore. Please note that there are 2 GND pins in this header, just connect the ground wire to either one of the 2 GND pins, and leave the other GND pin unconnected.
