From what I can find out nobus it looks like you possibly have the Dell Dimension 8400 in which the Azalea is included. At this link you will find a systems manual for the Dell Dimension 8400 which will most likely include the manual for the motherboard http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/dim8400/en/index.htm#online_documentation

Let me know if this helps.

Thanks for the answer, but It does not help, it is not even listed. A,d i had it on an ASUS and an MSI-915g combo board

It should be spelled 'Azalia', which will help with Google searches.

On p2-30 of http://www.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/socket775/P5GD1/e1745_p5gd1.pdf, there is a diagram of this header, which says you connect it to a module on the front panel. It sounds to me that the same cable can be used for both, and the only difference is the module it plugs into.

AZALIA
Sense 2 Return o o Port 2 L
o Sense Send
Sense 1 Return o o Port 2 R
Presence o o Port 1 R
Gnd o o Port 1 L

List of wires :

Have you tried the one-for-one mapping in the Asus manual, ie, use the same pins for AC97?

What do you mean? the corresponding pins of the AC97 connector?

Callandor🇺🇸

Yes - the manual did not make a distinction between connecting it to an Azalia front end or an AC97 fron end. This makes me think that it operates using autosense.

Ok, I'll try that, although there is a setting in the bios to change over from one to the other
