Hi, guys,
Some time ago I got a strange Zida/Tomato CreateZX-CT socket 370 motherboard with i440ZX (a cut-donw version of i440BX) chipset and integrated SB CT2511 audio chip (like on SB ViBRA16XV sound cards). The board had a problem with corrupted BIOS, which was easy fix by flashing the latest BIOS (unfortunately the original version 1.7, which is missing online, is corrupted). Since BIOS flashing the board runs perfectly fine even with PIII or Celeron Copperime CPU installed. The integrated audio chip can be successfully initialized by UNISOUND tool, but I can't use the integrated audio, since the original cables are missing. And I don't have any pinout for the audio connector pinheader.

I'll be very grateful, If someone can help with the audio cable connector JP13 pinout (26 pin header, but one pin is missing - probably "key pin") for this Zida/Tomato CreateZX-CT motherboard, which should be identical to the one for these similar models Zida/Tomato CreateBXi-CT, CreateBXv-CT, CreateBX3-CT, CreateBXi-AT, CreateZX-AT, CreateBXv-AT, CreateBX3-AT, CreateLX-CT, CreateLX-AT, CreateLXe-AT and looks like this:

The attachment audio_cable_connector.jpg is no longer available

And the manual only shows, that there should be Line-Out, Line-In and Mic-In connections, but probably there are also joystick/MIDI port connections:

Thank you!

I like the quieter planets, this one became pretty noisy 😀

Hi, Alexei,
Thank you for the information on how to connect line-out left and right channels!

I think, there should be also pins for things like mic-in, line-in and possibly MIDI/joystick, but without the original cable I can only guess.

Thank you very much, @Dorunkāku! Did you get it from another Zida motherboard's manual?
