I have a 5.1 system, and the cables are black, orange and green. But on the new motherboard, and I've noticed pretty much all motherboards, they only have blue, green, and red inputs. Not sure what I should be doing here.
pink = analog stereo in - mic left/right (sometimes is red on older sound cards)
blue = analog stereo in - line left/right
green = analog stereo out - front left/right
black = analog stereo out - rear left/right
orange = analog stereo out - sub/center
brown = analog stereo out - side left/right
standard 2 channel out: green
standard 4 channel out: green, black
standard 6 channel out: green, black, orange
standard 8 channel out: green, black, orange, brown
You need a 6+ channel sound card/motherboard. Asus P5G41T-M LX has only got 2 (stereo) channel out.
Where'd you get that from because it makes no sense. Anything plugged into front out or front mic in disables their respective rear out/rear mic in. In's becoming out's--pure madness and definitely proprietary.
Edit: Oh, I see where you got that from. It's Realtek voodoo magic that sacrifices ins for outs. If you ever want to use the mic in or line in jacks, you're best off picking up a cheap sound card (or a good one--good is always gooder). XD
