P5GD2 Front Panel Audio Connector Question
The front panel audio connector for my P5GD2 is a 10 pin connector with one pin removed. The manual for my P5DG2 shows two pin definition diagrams for the front panel audio connector: an Azalia-compliant definition and an AC'97-compliant definition. Each definition has 9 pins plus and a single missing pin. The missing pin is in a different spot in each diagram. The connector on the motherboard is missing a pin in the same spot as the Azalia-compliant diagram in the manual. The missing pin in the AC'97 diagram matches up with the actual motherboard connector if the diagram is rotated 180 degrees. Can this motherboard have either connector and my motherboard happens to have the Azalia-compliant connector or is the AC'97 digaram printed incorrectly in the manual? Thanks. rv2 -- No email replies please. Reply address is not valid. |

Thanks. rv2 I don't have this board but I looked at the manual. You are right, something is definitely screwy here. The missing pin should always be in the same physical location. I believe the diagram has been rotated 180 degrees in the Azalia diagram. I say this because the one pin that would logically never change is the ground pin, and in this case it is 180 degrees out of position. As you know, the audio settings in the bios determine which circuit pin outs are in effect. If you have a case or audio panel that is Azalia compliant, then you should configure the bios settings as such and connect to the pin outs as shown Azalia diagram. Otherwise use the AC97 bios setting and connect per the AC97 diagram. In the true Asus tradition the manual appears to be wrong. I can find no mention of revision, or of anyone else questioning the error in the knowledge base. Also, the other versions of this board have the same error in the manual. I suggest you Email Asus for clarification. It's amazing how Asus can make such good motherboards and yet such confusing and error prone manuals. I can confirm that the diagram is rotated by 180 degrees, I found out by trial and error. Thanks for the replies. I have connected the indiduial front panel wires using the rotated AC'97 diagram and it works fine. -- No email replies please. Reply address is not valid. |
