I'm finally getting to put my computer back together, after replacing everything ... from when my power supply died and took everything down with it :mad:

The top of my case has a microphone jack, but it's 4 seperate wires that I have to plug in somewhere.

There's an empty spot on my audigy 2 zs that says "TAD" -- just wondering what it stands for/what it is, maybe i could plug the wires in there.


if this is true, could someone tell me which order the wires go in:
Ground, R_OUT, R_RET, L_OUT, L_RET

thanks
 
TAD= Telephone audio device. ;)
It is a legacy interface for voice modems which you could prolly use for a mic.
 
Both
Here is the pinout for said tad connector

I'd consider it to be outdated and useless just like the digital audio for the cd roms.

Click to expand...

is the analog audio better? (i have he 2pin connector on my dvd rom labeled digital... and the 4pin connector on my cdrw labeled analog..)
 
The S/PDIF cable is better then the analog. But you don't need either of those cables..... Modern versions of Windows do DAE via the IDE cable which makes both of those cables pretty much obsolete.
