T7600 SoundBlaster - front panel?
I just got my new T7600 -- sweet workstation! I did not configure it with SoundBlaster sound since I wanted a Recon3D professional vs the available card. I see the front panel header from the HD audio header near the top of the machine, but it's not a standard header size (it's smaller) -- is there an adapter cable available to connect it to a standard front panel HD audio header?

Hi SpeedStep,
Thank you for the reply. I did some digging on my own and here's what I figured out. The front panel audio connector on the new Precisions is actually a standard Intel HD header, just smaller...it's not white, it's a black 5x2 2mm pitch header connector (standard headers are 0.100" or 2.54mm pitch). I ordered an adapter that converted a female 5x2 0.100" pitch header connector to a male 2mm head connector, plugged it into my SoundBlaster Recon3D and the front panel and--ta da--I have front panel audio :emotion-1:
Here's the one I bought:

no thats dell proprietary.
Its the same as the white connector on the retail soundblaster Audigy 2zs series.
Batteries not included.
Your Mileage may vary.
Not warrented or fit for merchantability or fitness for a particular service.
Do not try this at home. Professional Driver on closed course.
