pinout for motherboard audio jacks

[yonu]

hey guys I need a hand I am working on a project but have a minor problem the board I picked up to use is considered headerless and has no rear audio jacks however the pads are there for it I am hoping someone can provide me with the pinouts for ither the front panel ports or the standard read connector pads so that i can simple solder in my lines for audio out and line in.

Thanks,
yonu

I don't know the pinout, but also make sure there's actually a signal connected to those pads. There might be other parts missing besides just the connector.

From what I can find out the version I have will work if you solder in a set of jacks from another motherboard however i want to solder the wires straight in as it will be in a very small housing and the jacks will take up to much room I just don't have a old set of jacks to get the pinout from.

Thanks again

The board seems an Ecs P6STP-FN: according to a Tom's hardware post, Ecs built two versions, one full featured and the second without connectors and bundled with an IR keyboard. Which is yours?

Sorry, I think you're out of luck: the whole process isn't straightforward. The guy owning the stripped down model soldered the audio jack and figured out audio pinouts by trial and error. He got sound jumpering pins 3-4, 5-6, and 7-8 on J7.
I think a PCI sound card (even a cheap Sound Blaster PCI128 if you don't care much about Creative drivers) is a better option.

Re: pinout for motherboard audio jacks

basicly I just need the pinouts for a standard rear connector as I can't use a external sound card the board is going in an extremely tight space barly room for the board and fan there is no room for a external soundcard I was hoping some one just happen to have the pinout for standard rear audio connectors that are on the rear panel of a motherboard as i hate the trial and error method

Thanks again guess I am off to trial and error

Why not get an USB sound card, they sit outside the case, so no problem with space, and they are quite cheap
