Can someone tell me what this connector is

The obvious question I want to ask - yes, it certainly looks like it connects to pins on a motherboard, but what's at the other end?!

I think it is either a speaker cable, or possibly speaker/mike cable. The ground is common and goes to the chassis if the connector?

Does the correct guess win a prize

Nope you failed the test

The audio cable your thinking of had a locking tab and was only 4 pins wide not 5pins wide with one blanked, thats typical USB format not the sound.

I think they said a card reader.

Yes, the opening post says clearly it's a card reader. He's asking where it plugs into. And it's pretty sure it's something like a USB pin header, but not quite the standard one as it appears to be one wire too few (possibly no power rail, it's not powering a USB device, just attaching a memory card to the data bus).

And in any event, speaker cables aren't needed anyway now, you only needed them in the days prior to Windows XP - after that the audio signal that would have come down the speaker cable was transferred down the IDE/SATA cable instead.
