I have the Nu Audio, non-pro card.

In the instructions they tell you to hook the panel header to the front of the audio card.

I have an older motherboard. It has single pin connectors for all of the panel header items.

How do I connect to the audio card without having some sort of a cable to insert?

Thanks.

    Your computer case itself should have a connection for the front headphone/speaker jack that says audio, thats what you would plug into the audio card.  Should be a 9 pin connection with 4 pins on one row and 5 pins on the other row.

    Thanks. But those are all individual pin connectors. So what should I do?

    There is plenty of info if you Google it, but if it all seems too complicated, then buy one of these https://www.amazon.com/front-panel-audio-connector/s?k=front+panel+audio+connector
    Be aware, however, that the sound from front panel audio will likely be rather poor compared to what you get from plugging in directly to the audio card in the back. So you'll be defeating the entire purpose of having a nice audio card!

    What case are you using that it doesn't have a front panel audio connection plug? Your case should have something like this to plug into the audio card.

    Yes that picture of those little pins is exactly what mine looks like. So I was thinking maybe there is a way to attach those to a dongle and then bring them into the new sound card? Maybe it all in one piece or something?

    Plug the wires into the NU Audio card as shown in the link above.

    So you plug each one directly into the card? You don’t have to put it into a dongle or a wire or something first?

    Yes you should be able to plug them in directly if your wires are long enough.

    You are almost certainly alone.  This is an ongoing bug with this forum.  The images usually appear for the person who posted them, rarely appear for anyone else, and every now and then -- after a day or two -- they might randomly appear and disappear as they see fit.
