About Front Panel Audio Connector: JAUD1

In the User Manual for the K9N6PGM2 nVIDIA chipset mainboard, you are advised that pins 5, 6, 9 & 10 must be jumpered if you do not want to use the front panel audio but you want to use the back panel Line-Out instead, otherwise it won't function. 
My question is (sorry if this is a silly question, only I'm new to building PC's  ), if you want to use both the front and back panel audio slots, as I do for my current system that I want to replace, will the Line-Out at the back work automatically (i.e. connecting up the front panel audio is enough), or do you have to set something else in addition.

Of course, silly me   Thanks for clearing that up

  • ~~KT4V~~ Front Panel Pin Connectors (USB + Audio)

    Hello All
    I have a few questions on setting up the front panel pin connectors from my case to my new KT4V board.
    First question: USB
    My case is usb 2.0 (Raidmax Scorpio)it has two seperate pin connectors a 4 pin and a 4 pin + GND pin on the second wire. I assume I put the GND in the JUSB1 #10 slot which is marked (USBOC) in my manual. Is this correct?
    Second Question: Front Audio (Microphone, Headphones)
    The front panel Audio Connector: JAUD1
    The four pin connectors that my case has labeled is:
    1. MIC DATA
    2. MIC GND
    3. EAR R
    4. EAR L
    I am pretty sure MIC DATA goes in pin #1, and MIC GND goes in pin #2. As far as both EAR pins, I am not sure and would appreciate some help in this.
    Thanks in advance.
    ncarme  :D

    I know, I have the book in front of me. But the names on the board and my case are different. Thanks for the info on the usb, how about the audio inputs.
    Thanks.

  • K8NGM2-FID - connecting of front panel audio (AC'97)

    Hello,
    I have a K8NGM2-FID based pc running XP Prof. I have a Chieftec LCX-01B-B-SL case with front panel audio. This panel is compatible with AC'97 standard. PIN Assigment of the internal Frontpanel connectors for Audio is below described:
    I red in manual of my mobo:
    "The JAUD1 front panel audio connector allows you to connect to the front panel audio and is compliant with Intel® Front Panel I/O Connectivity Design Guide."
    I red Front Panel I/O Connectivity Design Guide (downloaded from intel site) and:
    "2.3.3 Audio Design Considerations
    Front panel audio design in conjunction with motherboard audio header design is dependant upon the type of audio CODEC being used on the motherboard. In the past, AC97 Integrated Audio CODECs were prevalent. With the introduction of Intel High Definition Audio, many new motherboard designs are switching over to High Definition (HD) audio CODECs. Designersshould note that AC’97 and Intel High Definition Audio front panel motherboards and I/O cardsimplementations are different and may not be directly compatible or interchangeable
    CAUTION
    It is strongly recommended that motherboard designers only use Intel® HD Audio analog front panel dongles with the Intel® HD Audio analog front panel header to insure that the jack detection and dynamic re-tasking capability is preserved. Passive AC’97 analog front panel dongles (ones which leave the 5V Analog pin-7 line unconnected on the dongle) may be used with the Intel® HD Audio analog front panel header. But note that the front panel jack detection and re-tasking functionality will be lost as the AC’97 jacks cannot support connection to the SENSE line. In addition, software must be aware that an AC’97 dongle is being used with an Intel® HD Audio analog header since the software might need to dedicate codec ports that are connected to the header to meet the product’s intended functionality.
    2.3.4.4 AC’97 Header Pin Jumpers
    The rear panel audio output jacks are disabled when headphones are plugged in. If the front panel interface board is not connected to the front panel audio header, jumpers should be installed across header pin pairs 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, and 9-10. If these jumpers are not installed, the rear panel line out connector will be inoperative and microphone input pins 1 and 3 will be left floating, which could lead to elevated back panel microphone noise and cross talk.
    NOTE
    Motherboards that have the foot print for a front panel header, but depopulate the front panel audio header must have 0 ohm resistors as options to connect the FP_OUT and FP_RETURN signals. These resistors must be installed when the header is depopulated to insure audio is routed
    to the back panel."
    Can I connect this front panel audio to front Panel Audio Connector (JAUD1) of K8NGM2-FID (Realtek High Definition Audio)? Will it be work correctly?

    No I don't think it will, I had the same problem with my Coolermaster Centurion case, the pin out configs are different. I just left it disconnected, and didn't worry about it

  • Does Front Panel Audio Work When Using RCA Outputs from the X-Fi Titanium HD PCIe Sound Card?

    I see that the rear panel headphone output is disabled when the soundcard RCA jacks are used.
    But is it possible to have the front panel audio output work at the same time that the RCA jacks are in use or is it also disabled?
    I am willing to tolerate inferior quality audio feeding my monitor and use the RCA jacks for my headphone amp.

    I was able to construct a work around for this problem. A Y splitter from the RCA outputs is an option but can degrade the sound because of the uneven load presented to the soundcard.
    Ten eleven inch Apevia CVTAUDIOE25 HD Audio extension cables were connected together in series to a SilverStone FP32 3.5 audio front panel bay. The extension cables were connected to the front panel audio connectors on the Titanium HD sound card and then the cables were run out of the computer case and up to the area near my keyboard. I connected the front panel audio bay to the extension cable and the bay sits next to the keyboard. When no 3.5 mm stereo cable is connected to the front bay near the keyboard the sound is normal out of the rear outputs. But when a 3.5 mm audio cable is plugged into the front panel bay audio there is sound out of the SilverStone front panel bay. The sound is still muted out of the rear RCA jacks when the plug is put in the front bay but it is only used when the main audio outputs are not required.
    The function for me is that the front bay serves the same purpose that the previous front panel 3.5 mm audio extension cable did.
    There are photos of this under a different user name on Audio Asylum PC Audio.

    I've just recently had this similar problem. I think the issue in your case is step 3. I believe you should connect the Azalia 10pin wire to your X-fi card, not the mobo.
    My problem was that i had connected AC97 10pin wire to my X-fi, after which plugging in my headphones didn't mute my speakers.
    That was the problem - works great now!  Thanks

  • Front Panel Audio - P7N Sli Platinum Question

    I am having trouble getting the front panel audio working - I want it set up so that when I plug my headphones in the speakers mute and the headphones take over.
    I have the following:
    Case - ThermalTake Armor VA8003BWS - http://www.thermaltake.com/product/Chassis/fulltower/armor/va8003bws.asp
    MB - P7N SLi Platinum
    Sound Card - Create Labs Xfi Gamer
    I have done the following:
    1. Disabled onboard audio in Bios (should I turn this back on?)
    2. Went into Creative Console Launcher and checked the 2 options that I want it to automatically enable headphone settings and mute speakers when headphone jack is connected.
    3. Connected 10 pin wire in case labeled (Azalia) to the motherboards Jaud1 (my MB manual says it is Azalia 1.0 compliant). The case also has an AC'97 connection (on the same wire as Azalia but I didn't use this because of what I read in MB manual about Azalia 1.0 compliant).
    4. The case also came with this 10 pin black block that has all the Azalia descriptions on the side (Port 1 L, Port1 R, Port2 R, Sense_Send, etc. - I tried plugging the Azalia connector into this and then this into the Jaud1 but still nothing).
    Not sure if it matters but my headphones are Plantronics Gaming Audio 770 (not USB).
    Any suggestions?

  • MSI P965 Platinum - Front Panel Audio u/s

    Finally after managing to get XP Pro SP1 CD to install, I have a stable system, and thanks to those whom freely gave advice.
    But we hit the next issue with this motherboard, the front panel audio.
    Firstly the Realtek detection software doesn't detect anything plugged into the front panel.
    Connected the cables as follows from my Coolermaster Stacker case;
    mobo                = case wires/colour
    pin1 aud-mic      = mic-in - yellow
    pin2 aug-gnd      = gnd - black
    pin3 aud-mc-bas = mic-pwr - red
    pin4 aud-vcc      = empty
    pin5 aud-fpout-R = R out - green
    pin6 aud-ret-R    = R ret - green
    pin7 hp-on          = empty
    pin8 key
    pin9 aud-fpout-L = L out - white
    pin0 aud-ret-L    = L ret - white
    The above pin out gives nothing at all, but audio from rear ports on the computer motherboard is fine.
    I also tried the following,
    where the microphone wires were left disconnected, therefore just the speakers plugged into the front panel audio header
    mobo                = case wires/colour
    pin1 aud-mic      =
    pin2 aug-gnd      = gnd - black
    pin3 aud-mc-bas =
    pin4 aud-vcc      = empty
    pin5 aud-fpout-R = R out - green
    pin6 aud-ret-R    = R ret - green
    pin7 hp-on          = empty
    pin8 key
    pin9 aud-fpout-L = L out - white
    pin0 aud-ret-L    = L ret - white
    The above still gave me no audio out from the front panel.
    Intrestingly if I leave the front panel audio header blank, I still get rear audio fine, where I would have expected to have put jumpers across the L and R outputs as is the norm.
    I have removed the front panel from the computer to ensure that the wires terminate OK, and have not been pulled out/off.
    Have I plugged in the wires correctly?
    Is there some hidden setting that I have missed, I admit that I do not like the Realtek audio software?
    I cannot find any way to boost the microphone input since Realtek audio software has been installed.
    One day case/mobo manufactures will use a standard for the front panel headers and front panel audio headers, and we will have a simple single plug to insert, rather than a group of single fiddly connectors that have to be attached to a header that was at the last minute attached to the motherboard as far away from the front of the case, and in the darkest most fiddle corner.
    Oh well......
    Cheers

    AaronYuri - you're are so right there my friend.  I just pity Joe User whom might attempt such a move themselves.
    In the end my entire issue was software related, and that has to be blamed on Realteks software, far too many options approached from far too many different angles. Audio is really simple, plug your cables in, and it should just work, certainly in the simple case of 2-1 speakers and a microphone. Why exactly it took a couple of hours to figure out how to get the front panel microphone to be seen in the first place, let alone any signal, is beyond me.
    So my cables were all connected correctly as per the MSI manual, confirmed by my Abit manual and other post here and on other forums.
    In the Realtek MSI audio software, on the I/O Audio tab, connector settings, I had to select 'disable front panel jack detection' and 'mute rear panel output when front headphones plugged in'. The other option here 'enable auto pop up...' is unchecked.
    After this the Realtek software mentioned something about a new profile had been set up?
    I then went to Windows Control Panel, Sounds and Audio devices, and selected the voice tab, on this page I selected 'mic IN at front panel [pink]' from the drop down list for Voice Recording'. Proceeded to 'test hardware' and the microphone is now working. This option to select the input in the drop down list was not available before.
    All a bit of POKE and HOPE.
    But we seem to be there.

  • No Front Panel Audio

    I have an SB Audigy 2 ZS and an Antec Aria case. I would like to use the front panel audio that uses the Intel Standard plug but acording to Creative tech support they don't support it.
    The tech basically said that they don't know anything and I have to ask the forum if I want any useful information about the card. I didn't realize Creative tech support was so bad (broke several rules of the trade). But I am here to ask you guys now.
    Is there a way to hook up the front panel audio ports to the sound card? My dell uses that white plug to do this. Does anyone know of an adapter that uses the intel plug on one side and the white plug so we can use the fron panel audio and mic jacks?
    Thanks.

    No-one replied to my similar question here, so I did some googling and posted other places online. Here are some links that should help you in your problem. I have an Antec case myself, and while I have not tried this yet, I think it should work, assuming your audio connector is similar to mine. My Antec P60 case has an Intel-spec AC97 front panel connector, but it also branches into individual leads for non-standard setu

  • Connecting the chassis-mounted front panel audio I/O module to the X-Fi Extreme Mu

    Hello to everybody.
    Many pc chassis provide two audio connectors on the front side, usually for the headphones with microphone.
    I need to know if I can connect the chassis-mounted front panel audio I/O module to the Sound Blaster X-Fi Extreme Music.
    I saw that the X-Fi Extreme Music has the internal connector (named AD_EXT) to connect . Is there a pin mapping of the AD_EXT connector? Is it possible to connect the chassis-mounted front panel I/O module cable to the proper pin of the AD_EXT connector?
    Thank you.

    Hi and thank you for your response.
    Unfortunatelly I actually haven't got a X-Fi card, because I need to know if I can connect the chassis-mounted front panel audio I/O module to the card before buying it.
    For this reason I don't know what is the J you're talking about. Is it an internal connector avaiable in the X-Fi Extreme Music card? Can I use this J to connect the chassis-mounted front panel audio I/O module to the card?
    Thank you.

  • Front Panel Audio Problems

    I'm trying to make sense of the JAUD1 descriptions and enable the front panel audio jacks to work but it seems the mobo doc and the casing connectors have entirely different descriptions.
    The JAUD1 has these:
    Pin1 AUD_MIC
    Pin2 AUD_GND
    Pin3 AUD_MIC_BIAS
    Pin4 AUD_VCC
    Pin5 AUD_FPOUT_R
    Pin6 AUD_RET_R

    What is going on??? Please help! ;(

    Although it doesn't make sense as LineIn - SPKO_L/SPKO_R, I read as Speaker Out though. EARO_L/EARO_R should be headphone out.

  • MSI K9N PLATINUM FRONT PANEL AUDIO

    Hi everybody
    I recently mounted an MSI K9N Platinum mainboard. When connecting front panel audio from case connectors on JAUD1, case connectors are marked as follows:
    MIC POWER
    MIC IN
    GROUND
    R-RET
    L-RET
    R-OUT
    L-OUT
    which does not match with those written on mainboard user manual for JAUD1 which are FRO PIN 1 TO 9 as follows:

    GROUND
    PORT 1R
    PRESENCE
    PORT 2R
    SENSE1_RETURN
    SENSE_SEND

    PORT2L
    SENSE2_RETURN
    .I´ve tried to connect it on many combinations but yet it is not working.
    Could someone tell me the right way to do it?
    Thanks in advance.

    I think you better ask this question to the manufacturer of the frontpanel stuff, as I have no clue.

  • K9N Neo Front Panel Audio

    Hi all -
    I have a K9N Neo (MS-7260 v2.0) that I am trying to wire in the front panel audio from my case.  I'm having some major problems trying to figure out how to match up my case wires with those on the MSI board.  I'm hoping that one of you experts will have the answer.
    My case has the following signals for a microphone and headphone connection:
    MIC GND
    MIC PWR
    MIC IN
    HPOUT R
    HPOUT -R
    HPOUT L
    HPOUT -L
    HPOUT GND
    In other words, the mic has power, ground, signal; and the headphone has two wires for each channel (+/-) and a common ground.
    Now, here is the listed pinout from the manual for JAUD1.  I could only find the manual for a PCB v1.0, so if that is the issue then please help me find the right manual:
    PIN SIGNAL DESCRIPTION
    1 PORT 1L : Analog Port 1 - Left channel
    2 GND : Ground
    3 PORT 1R : Analog Port 1 - Right channel
    4 PRESENCE# : Active low signal - signals BIOS that a High Definition Audio dongle is connected to the analog header. PRESENCE# = 0 when a High Definition Audio dongle is connected.
    5 PORT 2R : Analog Port 2 - Right channel
    6 SENSE1_RETIRN : Jack detection return from front panel JACK1
    7 SENSE_SEND : Jack detection sense line from the High Definition Audio CODEC jack detection resistor network
    8 KEY : Connector Key
    9 PORT 2L : Analog Port 2 - Left channel
    10 SENSE2_RETIRN : Jack detection return from front panel JACK2
    It doesn't seem like there are enough signals to hook up a +/- for both L/R on the headphones.  And where do I put the mic??
    Thanks in advance for ANY insights!

    Hello!
    I dare not answer your question yet, but I know that many with this kind of question have been helped by contacting the case manufacturer's support some way.
    Sure it is not life or death for your problem, but Moderators here are under death penalty not to help people who don't describe their complete system. Motherboard we know. Processor, memory, hard disks, PSU and it's max. amperes and a few other things remain unknown.

  • 975x platinum front panel audio

    hi all. ive read every thing on this forum i could find, but can not get the front audio panel connectors to work. my case(sunbeamtech silent storm) has the single molded connector that only fits one way on mobo. in the msi audio control panel, nothing happens when i plug in mic or headphones, or if i disable detection of the jacks. im at the end of my rope. please help!

    I had the same problems. I assume that the "AC97" jack is plugged in to the JAUD1 connector of your mainboard.  You have to plug in the other jack (HD Audio) to the JAUD1 connector, after this the front panel audio should work.
