Front panel audio connecting motherboard?

    Hi everyone in the process of building my first pc. I have two questions one related to pc bulid and the other is general so I thought I'd put it there if its the wrong place please feel free to move moderator.

    Question 1
    To connect the front panel audio to the motherboard I have been giving what looks like two audio jacks, as opposed to the little black pin things. Problem is there is nowhere to connect these on my motherboard. Any body know what I could do ?

    Like that above

    Question 2 :)

    How do firewall a main executable. I don't even know what a main executable is. Have an idea but not too sure.

    Thanks for reading any input would be great

    What board have you got?

    To sandbox an application use sandboxie, it'll totally isolate it from the OS when you run it. A main executable is the main file you run in order for a program to work and it could use several other files. For instance setup.exe would be the main executable when installing a program on a computer.

    That what I assumed was the main executble. If I stop that from running ie sandbox it. Will that not stop the aplacation from working ?

    Probally a dumb question

    The connector you use would be the HD audio/Possibly AC'97 header:

    They go onto the corresponding location on the motherboard.
    Those Black and Red auxilary inputs are for a different purpose I would imagine

    I'd say that would be your best bet, my only thought is that certain high end sound cards use that connector instead, but I have never come accross this before, what case is it, did it come with those two connectors?

    It looks like your previous question has been answered :) . It could well be the previous case owner had a different sound card and thats the connector it used, I'll be honest though I've never seen it before!
