I have my old creative X-fi drive bay front panel from my old system.

Does anyone know if one of these can be connected to the front panel headers for on a motherboard to use on onboard audio rather than the old xfi.
 
I think they only have the AD EXT connector, which connects to the sound card. Unless you know which pins are which, I can't see it working.

this is what im finding out, i cant find out if the pins are the same for a connector on the motherboard. (even though they are the same amount as the audio header) im not risking plugging it in to try it.

Only reason i liked the drive bay for headphones it has the volume control dial


I could keep using the xfi card but i get loads of interference - any program where i can scroll the screen etc it makes noises in the speakers or headphone,

The onboard realtek sound didn't do that but the front panel hasn't got the volume control.

I dont want to attach headers or cables incase they are wrong
 
what drivers were you using for the x-fi card. I know that some people had cracking sound was cause by a bad driver. I had it for awhile until I switch to pax drivers has creative no long did driver for my card as they stop at xp/2000, so their were no win vista, win 7 drivers
 
EMP is caused by non shielded cables only way to avoid it is buy a shielded cable it's a comon thing on many cases to get noise from the front panel audio connector.One day I just decided to have my case sideways on a top next to the monitor rear of case facing monitor less hassle to swap connectors things around.
