From: "Ollie" olivili at hot mail dot c o on 2 Dec 2007 16:26 This card has only the ADH header on the motherboard and no AAFP header. In the some of the related boards, such as P5E-VM and P5E-WS, the situation is reverse - there is AAFP header but no ADH header. Then there are boards, such as P5B, which have both headers. The problem that I am trying to solve is to enable the headset connector in Antec SonataII. I think that I cannot use the standard connector in the prewired cable, but I have to connect 4 or 5 of the 7 wires directly to the ADH connector. Question 1: - what ADH pins I should use for FPOUT_R/L, RET_R/L, and AUD_GND Question 2: - what is the proper BIOS setting for > "High Definition Audio", which have options [Enabled] and [Disabled] > "Front Panel Type", which have options [AC97] and [HD Audio] One of the issues is that the manual defines these setting to control the AAFP connector and there is no AAFP connector on this motherboard. There has been several questions about the pin assignments in the AAFP and ADH connecters and here is the information I found from Intel. Please let me know if this is correct for Asus boards. High Definition Audio Link Header (AHD, Azalia Digital Header) Pin Signal Name Pin Signal Name 1 BCLK 2 Ground 3 RST 4 3.3 V/1.5 V I/O 5 SYNC 6 Ground 7 SDO 8 3.3V_CORE 9 SDI 10 +12 V 11 No connect 12 Key (no pin) 13 No connect 14 3.3 V/1.5V STBY 15 No connect 16 Ground Front Panel Audio Header (AAFP, Analog Audio Front Panel) Pin Signal Name Pin Signal Name 1 [Port 1] Left channel 2 Ground 3 [Port 1] Right channel 4 PRESENCE# (Dongle present) 5 [Port 2] Right channel 6 [Port 1] SENSE_RETURN 7 SENSE_SEND (Jack detection) 8 Key (no pin) 9 [Port 2] Left channel 10 [Port 2] SENSE_RETURN In some other Intel documents the pin 4 in HD Audio Link Header is only for 3.3 V and pins 9, 11, 13, 15 are used for SDI0, SDI1, Aud RSVD, and Aud RSVD.

It kinda looks like it. Check for a legend printed on the SupremeFX II in white letters, as to what kind of header that is. In the third picture, you can just see "AAF..." in the picture. http://pics.computerbase.de/1/8/1/8/7/16.jpg http://www.xbitlabs.com/images/mainboards/asus-commando/audio.jpg http://www.motherboards.org/images/reviews/motherboards/1706_p5_9.jpg Both original SupremeFX and SupremeFX II have the green header - but the SupremeFX and SupremeFX II are apparently not interchangeable between their respective motherboards. http://support.asus.com/faq/faq.aspx?no=F5DB3B3D-7160-EFB4-014A-274DA817FB97&SLanguage=en-us Paul

In this picture, it looks like there is another header in the SuprmeFX II in addition of the AAFP1 green header. http://www.newegg.com/Product/ShowImage.aspx?CurImage=13-131-219-14.jpg&Image=13-131-219-12.jpg%2c13-131-219-04.jpg%2c13-131-219-05.jpg%2c13-131-219-06.jpg%2c13-131-219-14.jpg%2c13-131-219-15.jpg%2c13-131-219-16.jpg%2c13-131-219-11.jpg%2c13-131-219-07.jpg%2c13-131-219-03.jpg&S7ImageFlag=0&Depa=1&Description=ASUS+P5E+ATX+Intel+Motherboard Do you know what it could be? In the http://pics.computerbase.de/1/8/1/8/7/16.jpg picture it looks like a extra power supply connector. Best Regards, Ollie

The connector looks to be an "Aux" or "CD" four pin connector. I have examples like that, on the surface of my P4C800-E Deluxe board. That would be my guess, but check to see of you see some letters printed next to it. A "CD" one would not be needed, because you can set the optical drive to use "DAE" or digital audio extraction. So it isn't necessary to string an "antenna" between the CDROM and the sound card. Sometimes, you end up getting noise pickup using the old analog cable method. The four pin "Aux" one might be something you'd use, between a TV capture card and the sound solution. On my TV card, there is a connector on the faceplate instead, and that is how the TV sound gets to my sound card. (If the thing had been designed properly, it would also have been possible for the sound to be handled completely by the TV card, but I guess one of their engineers was asleep.) Paul
