Front Panel Audio Connector

Good afternoon. The front panel audio connector on my Z690 Extreme seems to have two extra pins on the right side that the HD audio plug on my chassis doesn't have. What are those extra two pins for, and can my chassis plug still work with without them? Thank you.

According to the manual: "The HYDRANODE pins are reserved for ASUS HYDRANODE devices."

Hi Lude2Envy

Those two extra pins are reserved for ASUS Hydranode devices.

Line up the HD audio connector so the blank pins meet and you should be good to go.

The red ones you will not use.

Thanks, Nate! I'm not familiar with Hydranode devices. I didn't see that schematic in the manual. Only saw that it was labeled as the front panel audio.
