How does probing work?
I'm making a custom AC97 adapter for a motherboard that supports a different kind of connector (which I just cut up). I'm not getting any connection between any wire combinations.

What the hell are you trying to probe for?
John Collins
Dude is your probe connected to the plastic sleeve? No shit you don't measure anything.
Colton Ross
You have to pierce the wires sheath to measure anything or us the tips and touch the actual fucking exposed metal. Why are you making this of you dont even know how to measure a voltage correctly?

I knew you fags would say that, but you SHOULD have concluded that the tip is only touching plastic in the pic because I didnt balance it with my hand while taking a pic
Goddammit

this picture tells me less and probably took more time to edit in paint than a simple pencil diagram.
Why would there be any continuity between the black audio cable from the motherboard and the yellow cable going to audio breakout panel on the case? Isn't the first supposed to feed the second?
Connor Parker
If you're sure you're touching the metal there probably simply isn't a direct connection between the 2 points.
Mason Lewis
You should be probing for resistance between conductors in the black cable. I can't see what setting the dial is at on your voltmeter, but I'm assuming it's on "continuity" instead - ie; the function where a tone sounds if the resistance between probes drops low enough.

An easier possible alternative is to try to ID the connectors, and then google around for the common pinouts used for them
