975x Front Audio panel troubles

I've run into something interesting. 
I've not been able to get the front audio connectors on my Antec 900 case to work, although I would heard the front channel through the headjack, the microphone would never work. 
The Realtek Audio I/O display would never seem to recognize that something was plugged in so, if I go into the Connector Settings dialog and disable front panel jack detection - then it displays that the headphones AND the microphone are always plugged in - even if they're removed.
Anyways, it works (sorta).  I thought that it was a connector problem, but obviously not unless something is wired wrong in the harness from the case.
I'm running the latest official BIOS as well so, well, who knows where the bug is.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Thanks

Do make sure that you have insert the audio connectors correctly on your motherboard. since your mobo is an intel based one, make sure that your front panel audio is compliant with the intel HD azalia specification.

  • [SOLVED] Front audio panel still not working on K9N Neo V3

    I already posted on this here: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=113813.0.
    I still didn't get front audio panel to work on MSI K9N Neo V3.
    Even with my new case; Sharkoon Revenge, it is not working. It wasn't working on my previous noname case too. However, front audio panel on my previous case was working on several other MBs except on this MSI K9N.
    Now, I'm using the latest Realtek HD audio driver.  I think it's from February '08. Just as with the driver dowloaded by Vista via Windows Update, anything plugged in front audio panel isn't recognized. In this new version of Realtek driver I can't find this Disable front audio panel option so I can't tell if it is checked or not.
    Once more, there is not much to do wrong while connecting. Case front audio panel cabel is the same as on all other cases I've ever seen/had. It's a cable with the same number and position of pins as in all other cases. It fits fine on MSI K9N Neo V3. Rear audio panel is working fine.
    Any solution to this!?

    From what I can see from the Sharkoon product page, the front panel connectors of your case are not compliant with the Intel HD Audio Pin Standard. 
    Do you have a manual for your case that includes Pin/wire definitions for the front audio connectors?
    No. There was no manual in package. I never thought I will need one either.

    Have you tried disabling automatic front panel jack detection in the Realtek HD Audio configuration utility?  If you don't know were to find that option, access the tab labeled "Audio I/O" and click on the tool icon.
    Yes, I tried disabling it. Two tabs (front audio out and front mic) appeared but none of it works.

    From something I read: You can also physically check the audio cable of the front panel audio solution.  If there is a cable connected to Pin 4, you have an HD Audio module; if there is no cable to Pin 4, you have an AC97 module.
    I don't really understand this. Could you please check this on Pin Assignment scan I uploaded above!?

  • Front audio panel not working on K9N Neo V3

    A new problem with MSI K9N Neo V3 MB...
    I just found out that Front audio panel is not working (no mic, no line out). I checked the cable 3 times. Seems to be OK. Front panel was working on a previous ASUS motherboard.
    - All drivers according to vista are working fine.
    - Back panel sound (eveything) is working fine.
    - Sound panel says that front panel mic & line-out are not plugged in.
    Is there a switch to turn this on? Or maybe some special driver?
    Or it is just useless, and working on MB package advertisment only?

    P.S. Just a thought, I could go get a Ouija Board or Dart Board if you prefer. Might yield some answers.
    You sure are funny. No doubt about that.
    I do appreciate a good laugh, but in this case laughter won't solve my problem.
    This little analogy with a car and a tire is just ridiculous. You know, tire is flat or it is not. Or is it maybe flat only on BMW cars?
    I see no purpose in describing cables here, but if this is what would make you happy... It happens that I have few spare mintues, so here we go.

  • P6N Sli Platinum front audio panel and CPU temp voltage issues

    Hi All,
    I got my P6N Sli Platinum yesterday, build up my computer without any major issues. However I have noticed that my audio front panel does not work. It could not detect my microphone when i plug it into front auido panel, it works fine for the rear auido panel though.
    Another issues is I highly doubt the accuracy of CPU temp sensor. Msi 's software monitor reports my CPU temp is around 19-20 degree, I know that's too good to be true even I am using a water cooling system. Btw my cpu is E6600. Anyone else has the similar issues?
    The third, I notice my CPU voltage is bouncing between 1.1 to 1.24 in CPU-z. And the multiplier is changing from 6 to 9, frequency is changing from 1.6g to 2.4g. I only see this in CPU-z.  Msi 's own software reports CPU running at 2.4g though. Is this cpuz issue or something else?
    Finally, any tips to max the overclock potential of this board? I have overclocked to 3.1g but there are some crashes. Going higher the board just won't boot up. I read a review on anandtech.com says 1.22 bios is good for oc. Where can i download that? I only found 1.1 bios on official site.
    Any reply will be appreciated.
    Cheers

    C2D-CPUs have a digital internal sensor to monitor CPU Core temperatures.  Have a look at those with Core Temp ( http://www.thecoolest.zerobrains.com/CoreTemp/ ).  This Tool reads the temperature data directly from the register of your CPU. There is nothing wrong with the sensor.  It is rather the MSI tool that does not read the data it provides correctly.

    There is no issue.  What CPU-Z allows you to see there is the C1E-feature of your CPU at work.  When there is nothing to do your processor will automatically reduce Core Voltages and frequency to save power and keep temperatures down.  As soon as the work load increases the multiplier is set back to x9 and core voltages increase dynamically.  It is meant to be a good thing.
    I have overclocked my system a little and I like that the C1E feature is still working at this speed setting CPU frequency to 2GHz and core voltage to 1.144v when my system is idle. 
    If you have problems with this feature you can turn it off in BIOS. The option is labeled as "C1E Support" and might be hidden somewhere.  You may be able to hit "F4" to unhide it. 
    The MSI utilities are not the best tools to monitor your system.  CPU-Z, Core Temp, Everest, Speedfan, Memset, Rightmark Memory Analyzer for example do a far better job.

  • (help) front audio panel cords-- sound card??

    Dear all....
    I have an ancient SB Li've! 24 bit SB 040.
    Can anybody help me how to connect front audio header (casing) onto the card (ceati've proprietary connector)?
    There are 0 pin connector on the card while the casing itself has only 7 pin.
    Regards,

    I was wondering that myself. The only thing I think you could possibly do is have both the onboard and the pci sound card enabled and use the onboard sound just for the headphones. I have no tried this yet as I do have the cables connected to the mobo but I have the onboard sound disabled.

    You need to make connection by yourself. Here are instructions fo Audigy 2 Zs.
    NOTE: X-Fi's J (Proprietary connector) pin order (and colour of the connector) may vary from oreder of Zs's (like it did on Audigy 2). You can easily find the pins for I/O by trying or measuring.

  • P6N (original) Front Audio trouble

    I mistakenly posted my problem in another person's thread before I was kindly advised to start my own, so here it is.
    I run the P6N SLI-FI motherboard as you may have guessed by the subject, but not the diamond or V2 or anything fancy like that, just the original.  I have it in a XION II case, and everything works perfectly...... except the front audio and microphone.  I could be a problem with the audio cable, as the front USB works great.  I installed the Realtek HD audio software from the cd and their website (newer version), but it still doesn't even recognize when I have something plugged in up there.  Checked through the Realtek manual, all the settings are correct, and the cable is hooked up correctly.  Do I just have a defective front audio socket on my motherboard or is there still hope for me?

    Hi, can you detail out your wiring? ie what pin match with what pin. thanks.

  • Front audio not detected

    Hi, I have a msi p35 neo 2 for quite some time now but didn't had the opportunity to use the front panel from my chieftec chase.Today I've tried the front panel but for my surprise alc888 didn't detected nor my headphone or the mic.If I disable front audio jack detection the mic and the headphones work but it doesn't switch off the back audio when I insert the headphones.
    How could I solve this issue?
    BTW I'm on windows 7rc  x64 bit.

    Not sure if the drivers are any compatible to Win 7 RC yet.

  • What will happen to front audio on computer ca

    Hi, When installing a Sound Blaster Audigy Value card the instructions are to disable the motherboard's onboard audio. I currently have front audio from the computer case connected to the motherboard for private listening with headphones. Does it mean that I can no longer use the front audio connectors after installing the sound card?

    Sorry but i think your out of luck creative are just about the only soundcard manufacturers who dont have front panel connectors.
    Well i suppose they have to sell they're boxes of cheap tricks on the more costly soundcards somehow, if they let you have front panel connectors then no one would buy the higher ranged cards with breakout boxes, not that many do anyway :angry:

    Hi Frankenputer,
    I'd also like to thank you for such a fast response! I do have a copy of the manual in my grubby little hands and I did read it. That's how  I was able to identify the motherboard pinouts in my first post. I guess that one slipped by you  . The link you provided is great, it'll come in handy if I ever misplace the manual down the road.
    My problem stems from the way the case manufacturer labelled the wires for the front audio connector e.g. using a naming convention that differs from that of the Intel Front Panel I/O Connectivity specification.  Specifically the Mic-VCC, Line-L and Line-R wires.
    Stated simply, I was hoping one of the experts here might be able to tell me/confirm if Mic-VCC should be connected to pin 3 - AUD_MIC_BIAS or to pin 4 - AUD_VCC, and if Line-R should be connected to pin 6 and Line-L to pin 10 on the motherboard.
    Again, thanks for your reply and have a great day!!!

  • Front audio connector

    Hi there!  I have the 845E Max motherboard, and my case has a front audio coonection in it.  I was jsut wondering  if it is possible to connect the front without disabling the back audio panel.  thx....

    You can do it but you will need to do some modifications to the connector so the front cable and the jumper are on there at the same time.
    You can simply buy splitters for the outlet plug on the back of the board.

  • Front Audio Jack is of pool quality cosmetically

    Hello, I have a problem with my Front Audio Jack. When I recevied my TS-P700, I noticed that my audio jack was on abnormal position. I adjusted its position, but it's still hard when I insert my earphone cord, I feel jammed. And tis disturbed by bezel. I wanna change a part, but I'm in South Korea now, service center refused my request cause my TS P700 is from USA. So, this is my question. 1. Can I exchange a front panel part with Lenovo USA via Air mail service? If it is possible, How? 2. I'd like to know its fru number of front panel. I found some fru number, but it is not exactly(04X2728, 03T8788) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For reference before adjust its position I have adjusted, tis still disturbing.   3 pictures above are normal state. Yes, it looks pretty good.I found it from review site. Thank you! 

    I'm a little confused if your issue is that you think the jack itself is damaged, or whether it's simply an alignement issue of the front panel assembly and the front bezel.  If it's an alignment issue, I'm not sure replacing the front panel assembly is really going to help you much.  
    The front panel assembly (which includes the front audio jack) is certainly replacable.  My records show that FRU for that front panel assembly is 03T8788, but it would be good to confirm that with service.  
    I'm not sure I can help with your first question.  Sounds like you would need to consider purchasing the FRU directly if service is refusing your request, but I'm not familiar with all the details.
    Replacing the front panel is not terribly difficult in P700 (this is a nightmare of a task on P900), but you'll want to pay special attention to how the cables are routed as you're disassembling the system (the motherboard must come out) to ensure that you get everything back together correctly.

  • Any way to utilize front audio ports on cas

    I picked up the Creative X-Fi XtremeMusic today at a local store since the rest of the hardware will be coming in tommorrow (forgot to order a sound card, hence the reason I bought it at the store). Anyways, the case I ordered has a speaker and mic plug in the front of the case. Is there any way to use these things with the Creative X-Fi XtremeMusic? I switch from my speakers to headphones a lot and really find it annoying crawling behind the computer every time I need to. ;P Front audio ports would make things extremely convinient.
    So, any possiblities with the X-Fi XtremeMusic?
    If that's not possible, could I plug in the headphones to the third output on the card since I'm only running a 4. speaker setup?

    Incase anyone else needs it, here are the pinouts:
    - Analog Ground
    2 - Analog Headphone Out Left
    3 - Audio Backpanel Mute -- short to ground to mute the backpanel (when headphones are plugged in)
    4 - Analog Headphone Out Right
    5 - same as #3
    6 - Mic input from front panel
    7 - key pin (shouldn't be there)
    8 - VREF out -- voltage reference for Mic
    9 - MIC IN MUTE -- ground when mic isn't plugged in, +2VDC when mic is plugged in
    0 - Audio cable detect -- will be ground when headphones are plugged in (not normally used)

  • K430 Front Audio (Mic and headphones)

    Hi there!
    I got a k430, and I just bought an audio card because when I plug my headphones into the front panel, the sound is horrible. So I installed my Creative Sound blaster Z, and when I tried to plug the front audio cable to it, I realized it was not the same connector!! The lenovo one got more pins! How can I do to plug my front audio cable to my new audio card?
    Thank you for your help!!
    Moderator Note; subject edited; system type added

    I think I know what is the problem... site shows sound driver for XP and Vista 64bit but I installed Vista 32bit and am looking for Vista 32bit drivers . Why are there complete drivers for Vista 32bit (Equium A300D), except sound? :(
    Thanks, I will try these for Satellite...
    None of Satellite models has drivers for Vista 32bit... one has but Realtek :(
    Maybe I should install Vista 64bit ? I dont remember if previous was 64b :|

  • Front audio jack

    The contacts on my front audio jack are no more tight enough so when I plug any device (phones or external speaker) I have to fiddle a lot before making them work. Is it there any way to tighten the contacts without bringing the computer to an Apple repair center? Only the right panel can be removed and the jack is on the left, and apparently it seems there is no way to reach it.
    I would like not to remain without the computer for a long time, as with a pair of tweezers the problem could be very rapidly solved.
    Thanks for help,
    Claudio

    I was almost sure it was impossible, nevertheless I have tried to receive a solution.
    Anyway many thanks for your suggestion, I will follow it, as sending the computer to a service center will cost a lot of money and time.
    Regards,
    Claudio
