Good day kind folks! ..shameless attempt at soliciting help, via folksie greeting.
I need some guidance, on a Gigabyte motherboard accessory bracket(See Pict.). I have had to reconstruct the cable motherboard connectors, which go from the bracket's SPDIF Out connections(RCA & TOSLINK), as well as 3x 3.5mm PC audio phono, input jacks.
I need to point out, as the saying goes, I know just enough to be dangerous, but know very little about PC audio.
The SPDIF connections, are cool, but a little baffled on the audio jacks leads.
According to the supplier and everything, I have read, the cable should have the following wires connected to the following pins:
1. Orange
2. Yellow
3. Black (a bit wider)
4. Empty
5. Red
6. Green
7. Black
8. Purple
In looking at the stock photo above, for this bracket, you can clearly see all the wires. However, this picture, to follow, is what I find, when I peeled back the cable's outer sheathing.
Now, there is no second black wire for pin #3, but, there is just loose strands, which in this picture is the furthest to the right. Is this considered a ground? Again, looking at the first image, the wires entering the connector are as described, including a larger diameter black wire.
Could they have spliced the loose strands with a black insulated wire and, the splice, is just hidden under the heat shrink tube? Is this what I am missing? Should I do the same, and then slap a pin on it and use it for pin #3?
Obviously, Oblivious to the ins and outs.
Thanks Folks!
Cheers,
Rich
