890fxa-gd70 front panel sound

hi, i want to ask if 890fxa-gd70 supports ac97 front panel audio?..
i know the board has hdaudio but my case only has ac97 connection..
i want to know if i can safely plug my ac97 front panel audio to the board..
if not supported how can i use my ac97 front panel audio to my 890fxa-gd70..
will i need to buy a new hdaudio wire or can i just rearrange the pins in my ac97 to make it work..
thanks..

hmm.. does that mean it is safe to plug my ac97 front panel to my mobo?..
btw i saw this on the net:
AC'97 front panel audio does not work with onboard HD Audio
The onboard front panel audio connector provides microphone in and line out signals for the front panel. Many chassis manufacturers offer chassis with front panel audio ports and cabling. Those front panel solutions may support either AC’97 audio or High Definition (HD) audio.
The onboard audio headers on Intel Desktop Boards with the Intel® 945 chipset and later support HD audio.
Compatibility:
HD front panel audio solutions should be plugged into HD onboard headers.
AC’97 front panel audio solutions should be plugged into AC’97 onboard headers.
Some AC’97 front panel audio solutions (but not all) may work with HD onboard headers.
If you want connect an AC’97 front panel audio system to HD onboard headers, try these steps:
Connect Mic_IN (MIC) to MIC2_L.
Connect Audio_R (RIN) to OUT2_R
Connect Audio_L (LIN) to OUT2_L.
MIC_RET and OUT_RET are for HD audio only; you don't need to connect them for AC'97 audio.
Intel does not validate AC’97 front panel audio solutions with boards using HD audio. If the steps above do not work, you will need to use an HD front panel audio solution for full compatibility with Intel Desktop Boards using Intel 945 chipsets and later.
but i dont know what pin# are:
Mic_IN (MIC) : MIC2_L.
Audio_R (RIN) : OUT2_R
Audio_L (LIN) : OUT2_L.
MIC_RET and OUT_RET
i looked at the link you gave me but i cant see any of the listed names there..

Front panel sound not working

Front panel sound not working* Hello everyone,
I've just bought a PCI Express X-Fi Titanium. So far everything works great with my 5. sound system, but I have problems with my front panel audio.
My case only supports AC97 front panel audio, but has all individual connectors (so 7 single connectors, not one with 0 pins).
I've already tried only connecting 5 pins (the two AC97 return pins unconnected) and connecting all 7 pins. In both ways the microphone works, but sadly not the headphone output. I also tried changing the two options in the driver but that changed nothing.
I did some Google searching and found many reports where the sound itself works with an AC97 front panel on an HD soundcard, just no jack detection.
Any ideas why that isn't working for me?

! Try here for pinouts of your jacks. I have a Cooler Master case that has AC97 and INTEL HD front panel jacks, but here is the kicker. The AC97 jacks come from the front panel first and then about fi've inches from this jack is an INTEL HD jack. A few wires are changed but perhaps these will help...

Front panel sound.. please help

hi,
My motherboard is MSI 915G Combo. It has CMEDIA AZALIA sound chip which supports multistreaming functionality. The sound output can be taken from frontpanel as well as backpanel audio connectors. But the frontpanel connectors are provided as pins in this motherboard. I got a Mercury KM08 ATX cabinet which has frontpanel ports. But how can I connect the pins?? The cabinet have wires to connect the pins to frontpanel.
There are 7 wires for front panel connectors in cabinet which are
1) Line out FR
2) Line out RR
3) Line out FL
4) Line out RL
5) MIC IN(R)
6) GND
7) MIC Power (L)
In my mobos manual the front pannel connection design is given as,
Pin1 - PORT 1L - Analog port 1-left channel
Pin2 - GND - Ground
Pin3 - PORT 1R - Analog port 1- Right channel
Pin4 - PRESENCE# - Active low signal
Pin5 - PORT 2R - Analog Port 2-Right Channel
Pin6 - SENSE1_RETIRN - jack detection return from front pannel jack1
Pin7 - SENSE_SEND - jack detection sense line
Pin8 - KEY - connector key
Pin9 - PORT 2L - Analog Port2-left channel
Pin10 - SENSE2_RETIRN - jack detection return from front pannel jack2
Please help me to connect the pins to the frontpanel connectors of the cabinet!!!!
also whats are jack sensing pins?? what are they used for??

Jack Sensing is a feature that allows the codec to choose what kind of device (mic, speaker or line-in) you're plugging into the jack by sensing its impedance. It's of no use here for your front panel chassis.
What I would try is to match the PORT 1L/1R with your Line Out FL/FR, and PORT 2L/2R with LineOut RL/RR. There is no MIC connection I guess from the pin names.

Asus Xonar DGX no rear sound / mic. Front panel sound/mic ok. [SOLVED]

Hi guys,
I have a ASUS Xonar DGX PCI-E GX2.5 sound card since my onboard audio crapped out on my motherboard. I just did a first time install on my desktop and the rear portion of my card refuses to work. If I connect up my speakers to my analog output in the back I don't have any options in my sound manager for the analog output to just be a 2.0 system. I get 4.0, 4.1, 5.0, 5.1. All of which do not work obviously. Also my microphone doesn't work plugged into the actual card. If I plug them into the front panel audio, both the microphone and headphone out work. I did some searching, and it seems like a likely cause has something to do with amixer being multichannel. I tried several commands but wasn't successful in getting the audio to work through the back. Any help would be useful, I'm still trying to learn a lot about Arch while doing all this. Thanks in advance!
Solution. Using Alsamixer in terminal and selecting the analog out as stereo headphones, instead of stereo headphones (fp).

Search for vid and pid combination, ergo 13f6:8788 in your case. This should be one of the search terms, vid and pid could be also separated, other search terms could include oxygen, sonar, dgx and so on. Simple google search should turn something up.
Edit: The point is to locate a thread/post where the support for this card was implemented/talked about. It could provide some further insight.
The simplest approach would be to download linux-rt sources from aur with yaourt, modify PKGBUILD, compile and then install.
yaourt -G linux-rt
cd linux-rt
Copy this into PKGBUILD replacing the original:

Finally run makepkg, should there be errors try removing the src dir first 'yes|rm -r src', then run makepkg again. Should there still be an error post here.
As for the patch, should there be no real difference there is also MODEL_XONAR_DG, might be worth trying out.

MSI 890FXA-GD70 LED panel debug show 2A, unable to post

Dear guys,
I need some help with my motherboard, recently did a new set up but having some problem. My computer is unable to boot most of the time but sometime it is able to post.
Been having this problem since i did the new set up but recently it is unable to boot most of the time.
It appears to be stuck showing 2A on the led debug panel unable to get past that.
my set up as follows :
AMD Phenom X4 965
890FXA-gd70'
8gb ram Team elite ddr3 1333 cl9 2x4gb kit
sapphire 5770 vapourcool x2 Crossfire
western digital 1 tb caviar black x2 Raid 0
Coolermaster slient pro 600w psu
Running Win 7
Bios version 1.7.
All drivers are the latest I have from the MSI website, graphic drivers are the latest I have from ATI.
Crossfire has been installed as instructed from the manual, slot 1(closet to the cpu and slot 5)

The mainboard can't be unstable at crossfire,
but eventually broken one of the VGA's or weak PSU yes.
Quote
What do you suggest if I am still stuck on 2A after using only 1 graphic card?
If that hapends, test with the second VGA alone in the 1st PCI-E slot
Quote
8gb ram Team elite ddr3 1333 cl9 2x4gb kit
Also leave one memory stick only in 1st DIMM close to CPU socket,
remove power cord from the PSU,
then do >>Clear CMOS Guide<<
and try to boot

Front panel sound ports

Feeling quite pleased with myself because my first build is just about finished ( have a mass of cables to tidy up and tie back) However I do have one minor problem, I can’t get any sound out of the front panel (top panel in this case) headphone socket.
The front panel connector JAUD1 has nine pins and pin 7 is for future use according to the motherboard manual and pin4 is filtered 5V which I don’t have a plug for.
I have one lead with 3 connectors for mic , ground and mic power which go to pins 1,2 and 3. Another lead has right in & right out and left in &left out and ground. These go to pins 6,7,9&10. There is only one pin marked ground and this is already in use. So I haven’t been able to connect this ground. Is this what is stopping it working.
So although it is only a minor problem, it would be nice to have the headphone socket working. Anyone any thoughts?

I really can't comment on the wiring exactly without seeing the schematics for the pins out from the motherboard. However, you apparently have a sound card installed so I am wondering what leads you are plugging your front case jacks into? I personally never have two sound capabilities activated in my systems. Since all MBs now come with integrated sound and I always use a sound card, I disable the onboard sound. I know if the onboard is enabled most boards have pins you can connect to the case sound jacks. When that is done you usually lose the sound out from the back panels jacks. So where do you have your front panel leads connected to? I have seen a couple of cases that have a formal mini-plug that you can plug into the card or the MB to bring the sound to the front of the case. Just some things to think about, probably didn't exactly answer your question.

MOVED: K8t neo fir front panel sound out?

This topic has been moved to AMD64 ATI/SiS/VIA based board.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=117772.0
Was in the wrong board.

Yes they need to be on if front panel is not connected as mentioned in the manual or you will not have have output at the rear connection. If front panel is connected you should have rear panel output if nothing is plugged in on the front panel output.
The jack acts as a switch, nothing plugged in, output to rear which will be the same as if jumpers were on.

XFi Fatality pro series and front panel sound -lack of- so la

Had to chip in on this forum as I'm quite furious with Creative -and I know I'm not the only one, and since CL's people read this board, then could you please take notice of your custormers? After all, aren't we the ones thanks to whom there is still a CL? Therefore could you please stop insulting our intelligence and regard us as milking cows as well?
When you've spent quite a lot of money on a *high end* card like a X-Fi Xtreme gamer Fatality, who in on earth would be willing and happy to have to fork out for a front panel costing nearly half the price of the card just for the privilege of being able to connect your case front panel headphone and mic to the sound card?! Do I expect the connection from the card to front case audio to come as standard? YES. Do I take it kindly to see a proprietary connection preventing me to do that unless I buy another expensi've toy from CL, or do I want to have to mod a cable or buy a modded one to that effect? NO! CL has voiced concerns that people making/using modded cables could result in damage/fry the card, well who's fault is that if not Creative's? How about doing the decent thing and provide the cable WITH the card in the first place, and even more decent, why not provide these cards' owners with one? Can't be the case of not having such cables since CL is making the proprietary connector for their front panel in the first place. If insisting no such cables are available, then make them!
Meanwhile cards' owners are left with little alternati've if they cannot have their onboard sound (to connect to the case audio) and their CL card coexist without conflict. This is lame at best, arrogant at worse and the same approach as with the cards' drivers -will not go there as there are enough threads about that but for the record, if it wasn't for a certain someone's functional drivers, how many cards would still be in use? I guess it could be said I was stupid enough to get this card, should have known better and go for another make which would not be giving me such grief! I emphasize again, these cards aren't cheap to buy so Creative, I am NOT interested in the forthcoming X-Fi2 series, just provide the present ones with full functionality and the means to at least connect to our case audio without any more expense on our part.

Thanks for that, Cornholio_OH! I've already looked into PC Performance's adapter and indeed noticed that those using it said PCP are wiring it wrong. So I got in touch with PCP about it and they deny the wrong wiring, stating that there's no mistake in how the cable is made but only how cases front ports are wired and grounded (?!). Also, they only provide the adapter for AC97 and not HD audio and some people had trouble with the AC97 connection, though I suppose that's better than nothing
Though you are right that it's an alternati've that may be worth the money, personally I strongly bulk at having to get one of those, especially when adding shipping costs to Europe, it no longer will be worth the money! When nowadays there are cards that do perform as well if not surpassing CL's and who provide the adequate connection and at no extra cost, I am strongly inclined to getting rid of the Fatality -practically brand new one by the way- and go for another make. Call it stubbornness or principle, if us consumers just roll over and give in having to either buy more accessories or modded cables, we're sending the wrong signal to CL and everyone else that it's okay to take us for stupid and milk us.

How can I enable my front panel audio??

the type of my mainboard is MS-6552,when I inserted my earphone and microphone into the jack of the box,I can hear nothing! then I opened the box,I found that the wire was not the proper place,there were 8 wires whick marked with “MIC IN,GND,LIN,LOUT,MIC IN,GND,RIN,ROUT”,I also found the F_AUDIO on the mainboard,there were 18 pin on it,I cannot matching them! who can help me?thanx

Look through you mobo's manual and you'll find it... Don't get stressed out too early... The first computer I built myself got me stuck in the same area for hours!!!
Btw, you've got to remove the jumpers on your mobo to enable front panel sound. Be warned that most mobo only allows you to us either front panel or back panel sound only. Please also ensure that there are no stand offs underneath your mobo.
All the Best... :D!!!

SB X-Fi Titanium Front Panel not working

Hello,
I would like to fully use the Front Panel, because I own a 5. Surround sound system blocking all the backpanel slots. The problem is, that I simply get no sound from the front panel sound output, while the microfone works just fine. Is there some kind of special option to enable it's
The FP is properly plugged into my SB X-Fi Titanium. And it's also not broken, because the FP works perfectly with my onboard soundchip (though it seems to cause crackling in my headphones, so I cannot use it for it).
... Okay now the Mic FP is not working aswell, eventhough it did when I tried it the last time. I set everything I could, like choosing Headphone Mode, enabling FrontPanel everywhere and all that. So why is it still not working?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Ofcourse that was something I did not know before I bought the soundcard. I am quite sure it is an AC 97 Front Panel, but how can I verify that?
Seems like I will have to sell this soundcard.
- The plugs from my 5.1 sound system are quality plugs and are rather big and so they barely fit, because the audio jacks (not sure about the correct english term here, i mean the holes from the soundcard, where you plugin the soundsystem) are sitting way too close together (expected more for that price..).
- It doesn't support my Case's Front Panel.
- And the soundcard is sitting directly before my Graphic Card's fan (because it uses PCI-E), causing heat.
I guess there is no way around it. I will probably get a new graphic card at christmas and it's most likely going to be bigger than my ATI 4850HD. And I simply do not have the space for a bigger graphic card AND a soundcard, that uses PCI-E. So I guess the best solution is to sell it and buy a soundcard that uses normal PCI and supports AC 97, right? Or what would you recommend?
Until then, is there an easy and cheap way to upgrade my ac97 front panel to Intel HD Front Panel Audio?
thanks

How to get front panel sou

how to get front panel sound for me headphones, i have audigy 2 ZS.

Works Great. Thanks
!!! Although .... the gain on the front mic is very low compared to the rear mic jack. Instead of using the x0 pin plug for the mic, I configured/spliced the front mic wires into a (rear) pass through /8" jack lead. Now, the front panel mic is at full output. I lose the?rear mic input, but I'll never use it now that I have front panel input.

Sound Blaster X-FI Pci Express Front Panel Not working right Win7

ASound Blaster X-FI Pci Express Front Panel Not working right Win7
Please read carefully
Part number Part SB040
Hello,
I have a fresh install of Win7x64 OEM. First, I want to say that I have "AUTOMATICALLY MUTE SPEAKERS" UNCHECKED under the Headphone detection tab. I have tried "Automatically Enable Headphone Settings" checked or unchecked. No difference.
As soon as I plug in headphones to the front panel connector , the speakers in the mixer say "disconnected" (see below) and the SPDIF becomes the default output. There is no way for me to change this. And there isn't any sound coming from the headphones when plugged into the front panel. (the mic front panel works fine)
I am using the nati've Win7 drivers for the card. Apparently the Win 7 drivers on your site are older than the nati've ones.
This worked fine in Windows XP 32. Any ideas.

Ok guys this is how I fixed the problem on my X-Fi PCI-Express. Open the Creative SB X-Fi Volume panel. Mine is set in game mode and I have 5 vertical sliders for Line-In /Mic, MIDI Synth, Digital-In, and the last one will say one of three things either Digital-In, Microphone, or Mirophone FP. At the top of the?slider there is a tab which brings up a drop down menu. Mine was default set to Digital-In, I switched it to Mirophone FP (tried Microphone first and it worked but the FP sounds better for me) and cranked it all the way up and my problem was solved. Very frustrating one though as there is no documentation that led me to the fix it was just playing around with it till I could figure it out.
I hope this at least helps some of you out.
