    Hi, Now I built my computer a while back. Now the front panel audio/mic wires were too short to reach the motherboard so I sent an e-mail to NZXT and they had an extension sent to me. Now the problem is that my motherboard only has one ground pin for the Front Panel Audio connecter. The wire that I have unfortunately has one ground for the audio and another ground for the microphone. My motherboard is an ASROCK 939DUAL-SATA2 ( http://www.asrockamerica.com/Products/939DSATA2.htm ). So I would like to know how I can connect the wire to my motherboard. Thanks.

    Hi, Thanks for the reply. Uhmm, How would I join the two connectors down as one? They are two connectors but th emotherboar donly has one pin. I would an extra connector or something to make the two grounds into one. Thanks.
