A55M-P33 Front Audio

I know there are lots of questions and answers on the front audio ports. I just want to clarify some stuff. I have the A55M-P33 motherboard which has the JAUD1 connector. My case came with the HD and AC97 audio connectors.
I currently have the HD option connected to the JAUD1 pins on the motherboard. If I decide to use that front audio port, is that the correct option to have connected to the motherboard?
And on another note, if I decide not to use the front audio ports, then is it okay to just disconnect that from the motherboard?

HD Audio is correct to have connected! (AC97 is a old type of connector and some cases have that just for if someone uses a old board that uses that)
If your just going to use the Rear outputs then its ok to not have the front audio plugged in as it will not be in use anyway!

Front audio port not working please help..

Hey guys,
My HP Pavilion DV2275ea front audio jack does not work, I have tried many different headsets as the mic jack works just fine. I have tried reinstalling audio drivers (Conexant High-Definition Audio Chip) and still nothing. I have look at the support advice posted to no avail. Is there anything else i could try?
A friend said it could be turned off in the bios but i am not able to get in as i don't know the password for the phoenix bios, could this be true?
Any help will be greatly appreciated

Well from looking at a jpeg of your board the front usb headers are laid out just like my board. Each set of headers support 2 usb ports each. That gives you the 4 in the rear and 4 for the front.
Now as to the pinouts, 1+3+5+7+9 is 1 set and 2+4+6+8+10 is the 2nd set, with pins 1 and 2 being the 5V power pins. Pins 7 and 8 are your grounds. 3 and 4 are the usbo- and usb1-. Pins 5 and 6 are usbo+ and usb1+. Pin 9 is the "key" pin and may actually be missing by intention. Key 10 is sometimes called the usboc pin and normally isn't used. On some boards you don't want anything connected to pin 10, even if you have to snip the wire going to it and terminate the end of the wire with insulating tape.
Your motherboard manual should show you the pin layout.

A55M-P33 no video

Greetings,
old MB died and replaced with A55M-P33. put everything back together, no video and not a sound from that little speaker.
tried all the following, but no lucks...
tried to tap into BIOS
tried to resetted the BIOS
tried outside the case
Please help before i exchange for another board.
System is as follows:
CPU - AMD A6-3600 SERIES - AD3650WNZ436GX
MB - MSI A55M-P33 FM1, BIOS - unknown, serial # - 601-7786-020B1308100xxx
RAM - 4GB (2x4GB) PC3-10666
PS - Corsair CX600w

If board is not defective it supports A6-3600 out of the box.
Quote
RAM - 4GB (2x4GB) PC3-10666
Something isn't correct. Is it 2x2GB =4GB or 2x4GB = 8GB. In any case try with just one stick.
Were all components now in use already used before with the mainboard that died? If so how did you figure out just the old MB had been bad?

A55M-P33 - No Video, Nost POST Codes

Hey there,
I'm having an issue with the board listed in the subject - I can't seem to get video working. Here are my complete specs:
MSI A55M-P33
AMD A8 3870k APU
GSkill DDR3 1600 F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL
The numbers on the BIOS chip: 25032BVSIG 1229
Not sure what's going on - it also has issues when I plug in an external PCI graphics card (a working Radeon x850). When I remove the RAM, I receive 3 beeps upon powering on, letting me know the memory is bad. It exhibits the same behavior with a different 500W PSU, and after re-seating the CPU.
I think the problem may be related to RAM, but the 16GB variant of the RAM I have in the machine has been tested and is listed as OK on MSI's site - so it should work. I'm going to try to find some other RAM sticks to throw in there tomorrow, but would appreciate any advice anyone can offer!
Also, how does one update the BIOS when there is no video output?
Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to provide!

Yes, I agree that it's a cheap PSU. But, it was pulled from a working system and has enough power to easily handle this system. I also have a 500W Apevia PSU which shows the same issue, which I believe is due to the motherboard not working properly as I've tested the RAM in other machines and it is fine.
This is a budget board, and is cheaper than the 8GB of RAM I want to put into it - I'm not going to purchase a new PSU and new RAM just to SEE if that resolves the issue. It would be cheaper for me to just purchase a board by Asus, Gigabyte, ASRock, etc., than to buy all the parts to test this budget motherboard.
I purchased this board just over a year ago (the 15th of September, 2012) and just now unboxed and mounted it, so it may be out of the manufacturer's warranty. I guess I'm just stuck with a subpar project that I can either spend a lot of money on, or I can choose one of the more reputable motherboard manufacturer's that don't have ridiculous RAM limitations (no GSKill even though it's listed under the 'supported' section. Really?) and don't point out your other, working hardware as the faulty part.
Do you have any suggestions to help me get this board working, besides replacing every other component?
Thanks for your advice!

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?

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

XFI Fatality And Front Audio Ports On C

Hi guys I have a bit of a question about something that has been nagging me for a while.
I have front audio ports on built into my case that I would like to have working. I know that the sound card came with an I/O Dri've with similar ports on it but it is just bugging me knowing that my case has them also and that they are not working. The case has a headphone and mic jack in front, Problem is that I have no idea if I can even hook them up using the sound card.
Has anyone done this? If so can you help me connect my front ports.
Thanks
Any replies would be appreciated

Fuzzy 945gm2 front audio

Hi,
I have an msi industrial motherboard. It is the min itx mobile core 2 duo motherboard which I use as a super quiet htpc/workstation. I've built my own case etc. and now I want to connect a 3.5mm front audio socket to the motherboard. I can't make any sense of the stuff in the manual about the JAUD1 front connector. I don't think it is the usual one on the other msi motherboards, and I don't see words like right out and left/right return. left out is there in the table on its own, none of the others though.
Can any one help me please?
Thanks,
Shailen.

The Fuzzy 945GM2/945GME2 share the same manual. If anyone can help figure it out here is the pinout for it:

Connecting SB Live! 5.1 to front audio po

Hi!
I have OEM version of SB Li've! 5. that I've bought with Creative Inspire 500 speakers. I also have a case with front audio ports but the problem is that I don't know how to connect soundcard with these ports. I haven't found any info about such possibility in manual but i have only short version of manual 'How to install'. Is there any possibility to connect my SB with the front ports? If there is - how can I do it's
Regards,
vacu
ps.
sorry for my English, I hope you understand me

If you can find a 0-pin socket on Li've! card board, then you can connet your card output internally to the case audio/mic ports by following instructions given @ http://audigy2zshowto.blogspot.com/
NOTE: pin orde may be different on Li've! (instructions are for Audigy 2 Zs, but works well least w/ Audigy 2 card too (I have done this)).

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:

I don't want to screw anything up and any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks and have a great day!!!

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!!!
Fred

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.

HP m7160n front audio jack problem

I am running Vista Home on my m7160n Media Center PC. I used to be able to plug in my headphones to the front audio jack and it would cut out the rear speaker output. Now it doesn't! I have gone into sound properties and is IS set to turn off rear jack, when the system detects a plug in the front jack. The headphones still work, but i need the speakers off when using the headphones. I hope thats enough information.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi MrBassMan26,
That is odd and sounds like the jack-detect isn't working right. Did this issue just start happening? Did it occur after installing anything, even a Windows Update?
If it just started happening, you could try running a Windows System Restore to an earlier point when it worked properly. Or you could trying re-installing the sound driver or even installing an updated sound driver. That should take care of it, and if it doesn't you may need to make some configuration changes in one of the Sound properties (Windows or Realtek).
I see that you have Vista, did you by chance upgrade to Vista from XP?
Try installing the Vista sound driver from Realtek: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsCheck.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=24&PFid=24&Level=4&Conn=3&Down...
Let us know how it goes.

(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.

[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.
Quote from: HenryW on 07-April-08, 03:35:46
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!?
