*First of all this is a re-post but they said for me to post it here instead*

Hi, I have completely put together the motherboard and every part to my upgraded PC. The only thing that i am stumped on is how the hell do I get my audio to work on my motherboard? I went on the main EVGA website and downloaded the complete manual. Well that basically got me nowhere because I couldn't find jack crap about how to make it work. Can anyone please help me and tell me how to get the sound to work? The motherboard says it comes with onboard audio if that helps? Do I need to buy a sound card or something?

Also, im trying to figure out where do I plug in my header audio ports into my motherboard? Once again I went on the main EVGA website and downloaded the complete manual and that got me nowhere because my sound wires (plugs) are called something different than what the are listed in the manual. Can anyone please help me and tell me where and what order to place them in? Here are the connections I have, followed by the connections/terms EVGA uses. Please translate them lol.

My Labeled Wire(s)
L-RET (black)
R-RET (yellow)
R-OUT (blue)
L-OUT (white)
MIC-POWER (red)
MIC-IN (orange)
GROUND (thick black wire)

EVGA's Labeled Wire(s)
AUD-MIC
AUD-MIC-BIAS
AUD-GRND
AUD-VCC
AUD-RET-R
AUD-RET-T
AUD-FPOUT-L
HP-ON
AUD-FPOUT-R

If you can't tell from here and you actually want to help me here is the link for the PDF user's manual. Go to page 24. Thanks
 
you have no link to the PDF file
you will not need a sound card if your mobo has one built in
but you may need the drivers if windows did no install them.

your mobo will have jumpers on the audio pin outs
that will send the audio to the ports on the back of the mobo by default
once your sound drivers are installed you should get sound from these ports

to hook up a front panel port you have to remove these jumpers
and hook the wire from the front panel up something like this



EVGA's Labeled Wire(s)
AUD-MIC = MIC-IN (orange)
AUD-MIC-BIAS = MIC-POWER (red)
AUD-GRND = GROUND (thick black wire)
AUD-VCC
HP-ON

AUD-FPOUT-L = L-OUT (white) this wire should got to front audio port
AUD-FPOUT-R = R-OUT (blue) this wire should got to front audio port

the next 2 are just loops in the left and right out (white and blue wires)
to send the audio back to the built in port on the back of the mobo as in RET = RETURN

AUD-RET-R = R-RET (yellow)
AUD-RET-T = L-RET (black)

Ok so where do I go to install the drivers? Microsoft.com? For the jumpers on the audio pin outs are you talking about on the back of the computer were you plug in the speakers?
