9) F_AUDIO (Front Panel Audio Header)
The front panel audio header supports Intel High Definition audio (HD) and AC'97 audio. You may connect
your chassis front panel audio module to this header. Make sure the wire assignments of the module
connector 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.

• The front panel audio header supports HD audio by default. If your chassis provides an AC'97
B_
front panel audio module, refer to the instructions on how to activate AC'97 functionality via the
audio software in Chapter 6, "Configuring 2/4/5.1/7.1-Channel Audio."
• Audio signals will be present on both of the front and back panel audio connections simultaneously.
If you want to mute the back panel audio (only supported when using an HD front panel audio
module), refer to Chapter 6, "Configuring 2/4/5.1/7.1-Channel Audio."
• 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 wire assignments, please contact the chassis manufacturer.
10) SPDIF_IN (S/PDIF In Header)
This header supports digital S/PDIF In and can connect to an audio device that supports digital audio out via
an optional S/PDIF In cable. For purchasing the optional S/PDIF In cable, please contact the local dealer.
