Hi all!
I'm nearly done setting up an old computer for gaming purposes.
There's just one thing I can't really figure out. My computer case has a number of connections for, presumably, the speaker. I'm trying to connect it. But I really have no idea how.
Here's a pic of the connectors: http://wedemandhtml.com/tmp/ap53_pic1.jpg
And here's a schematic/manual of the motherboard I'm using: http://wedemandhtml.com/tmp/AP53-HW.PDF
As you can see on page 20 of the manual, it has like 4 places for the speaker, but my speaker only has 2 connectors (only one of the red/black connectors goes to the speaker that's visible on the picture). I've tried to connect it, but it doesn't seem to produce sound.

Anyone know how I should proceed?

The speaker goes like this (I have filled the relevant pins with their corresponding wire colors from the speaker connector, although you can plug them in the other way around and the speaker will still work fine):

Thanks so much 😀
I don't know what I'd do without this forum.
Haven't tried it yet, but I'll do so later today.

edit: Thanks so much, it works perfectly. Now I just need to get USB working but that shouldn't be too hard. Already ordered the parts (2x simple USB to motherboard 5-pin).

Now if only I hadn't been so stupid as to have gotten rid of my last AT din5 keyboard... 😀
