Hello, I have a Z170-P motherboard by asus. My frontal hub consisting of power switch, usbs, microphone and audio jacks just broke.
I have bought 3 jack sockets, 2 are 5 pins and 1 is 3 pins. Here is a reference for the 5 pin socket (https://www.google.it/search?q=5+pin+audio+jack+pinout&tbm=isch&imgil=z2GrlX05wT3Z8M%253A%253BZF6XiALRlApkDM%253Bhttps%25253A%25252F%25252Fwww.head-fi.org%25252Fthreads%25252Fhelp-diy-front-panel-audio-pinout-questions.332069%25252F&source=iu&pf=m&fir=z2GrlX05wT3Z8M%253A%252CZF6XiALRlApkDM%252C_&usg=__upbyBXc5GYhk5y-jjwE-NHE2-QQ%3D&biw=1440&bih=691&ved=0ahUKEwjSxYqjzprWAhXEnBoKHVGhCGUQyjcIMg&ei=_y61WZLKIMS5atHCoqgG#imgrc=z2GrlX05wT3Z8M ).
My motherboard supports both AC97 and Intels HD audio. My first question is :
Are this sockets compatibles with Intels HD audio?Or do i need something different (eg more pins).
Secondly how would i connect the sockets to the motherboard?Can i just solder wires to the socket and run theme to the motherboard?If yes, i have some doubts as far as what to connect to what. This is the motherboards layout for Intel HD audio :

1)Agnd 3)NC 5)Sense1_Return 7) 9)Sense2_Return
2)Port1_L 4)Port1_R 6)Port2_R 8)Sense_send 10)Port2_L

And this is the AC97 layout :


1) Agnd 3) NC 5) NC 7) 9) NC
2) MIC2 4) MIC PWR 6) LineOut_R 8) NC 10) LineOut_L

I have no clue what to do with the sense_ret and sense_send! Any help is appreciated!

Yea thanks but i knew that much!I was looking for the pain full solution tho. I had no clue if i had to go with ac97 or hd audio. and where to latch the sense_ret and sense_send also i didn't know if latching the audio socket only without the mic one could work although it dose not seem to do so.
