I also have an old Creative 4.1 speaker system (been around for about 10 years from system to system)
It worked flawlessly....until.....this morning my daughter was watching NetFlix and she plugged in the headphones. The sound muted the rears (as it is supposed to do) and sound came through the headphones (front jack) as it was supposed to do. She said some popup appeared to which she didn't read and just hit OK (doh!). Now I am unable to get any sound out of the rear speakers when unplugging the headphones. After much playing around, if I un-check "disable front panel jack detection" in the MSI Audio Manager then the sound once again works from the rear, however (as can be expected) it doesn't mute it when the headphone jack is re-plugged in. Strange, thing is that this worked before this morning. It's like it is always detecting the headphones and therefore mutes the rears.

Additional information.
I also have to set: "Separate all input jacks as independent input devices" in the MSI Audio Manager (Device advanced settings) in order to get my microphone to work too.
What the heck happended? What's wrong?
MSI, got any ideas?

Connecting Sound Card to Antec Sonata front panel line out (Headphone) j

I've tried finding an answer to this, but is there ANY Sound Blaster product that has the capability of connecting to the front panel headphone jack an Antec Sontata case? My current card is a basis Sound Blaster Li've! card, model SB0220, and would upgrade if possible. Thanks for any help.

This perhaps not so easy matter you may suppose. Try Driver Heaven forum for example, to find answer, if there is even a possibility to do this (technically there is but has somebody described it)?

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

Front panel connections

.I am building a new system but the front panel connections in thr mobo manual need clarification for me .
Front panel connections jfp1 & jfp2
jfp2 -- 4pin speaker wire 2-8
3pin power led 1-5
jfp1-- 2pin hdd led 1-3
2pin reset sw 5-7
2pin power sw 6-8
In the manual it has a 2pin power led 2-4 but there is no wire do I take it that you do not need this .
USB 2 & USB 3
4 pin connector vcc , usb- , usb+, gnd 2-8 or 1-7
this cable has an extra gnd wire I would imagine you just leave this unconnected as there is no 9pin & 10 is usboc .
Front audio
pins 5-6 & 9-10 not to be used .
So that leaves me with 5 connections but manual does not say where they connect .
ear left
ear right
mic vcc
mic in
grd
Hope I have explaine myself ok but woulsd rather be suree before I go any further , I have the rest of the pc in place .
Regards Ian

Found these on an other site much more explicit than manual . There was connection diagram on manual but no direction as to + or - so would imagine 1for example is hd led p for positive .

P35 Platinum front panel audio with Antec P180 case?

God I have a headache after reading all those "front panel audio" threads. Why can't mb's all use the same freaking pinouts!!!!
The case doesn't have a HD front panel.
MB pinouts are:
1. Mic_L (MIC Left Channel)
2. GND
3. MIC_R (MIC Right Channel)
4. PRESENCE#
5. LINEout_R (analog port right channel)
6. MIC_JD (MIC jack detect)
7. Front_JD
8. NC (empty)
9. LINEout_L (analog port left channel)
10. LINEout_JD
Case Front Panel connector is a preconfigured block with pigtails hanging off in case it doesn't match up.
1. MIC Signal
2. MIC Power (MIC BIAS)
3. Ground
4. FPOUT-R (front right)
5. FPOUT-L (front left)
6. RET-R (rear right)
7. RET-R (rear left)
glaring differences are the ground and the MIC connectors.
How do I connect these? I don't want to fry anything.
Thanks.

They do have the same pinouts. There are two standards is the reason for two different pinouts. It's just that your MB is Intel HD and your case is AC-97.
For Intel® High Definition Front Panel Audio

Sound Blaster Z - how set autodetect connected headphones (into front panel connector)

Hello,
how can I set autodetect connected headphones into front panel on my new Sound Blaster Z?
I have used to use my onboard soundcard (only to my headphones) together with AMD R290X soundcard (via HDMI to Onkyo receiver).
Onboard soundcard was set as default audio device in Windows. So If I connected my headphones into front pannel connector, play only my headphones. If I disconnect headphones, onboard soundcard was disabled and soundcard on R290X was now only active audio device, so music playing only from my speaker (receiver Onky via HDMI on AMD R290X).
Now if I connect my headphones, I have to manualy switch audio device unit in Windows control panel between "SoundBlasterZ" and "R290X HDMI".
It is very annoying. Is there any way to figure it out?
Sorry for my bad english, I hope you understand my problem.
Thank you!

Hi prachart,
You will need to set Sound Blaster Z as the default playback audio device in the window control panel -> sound -> playback. Make sure you connect the physical connector from the front panel to the Sound Blaster Z card. This will let you plug into the headphone and able to playback. However, the AMD R290X HDMI port will not be able to have any sound as the default playback device set to Sound Blaster Z and it will not automatically release control and toggle to the available plug-in device.
You will need to go to control panel to toggle again if you want to have the sound from the HDMI port.
I am sorry if the above are not much help but this is the design implementation of the sound card so that there is no compromise in the sound quality.

785G-E53 Front Panel Audio

I just put my first PC together -- 785G-E53 and Phenom II X2. But the front panel audio does not work even though the connector plug-in JAUD1 just fine. I suspect it's because the mobo has 7.1 HD audio and my front panel audio has a simple stereo connector. How do I get the audio to the front panel?
Thanks.

I've tired all that and it's not working. I think there may be an issue with the case. Over the weekend, I built a second computer for my kids. I used the same model motherboard and same model case. That one works perfectly with no changes to the disable front panel jack detection.
The only difference is that mine has bios 2.A and the old one has 2.8. Couldn't get the windows based bios flash tool in live update 4 to work. When I checked the forum, found a post that said as far as bios goes, if it ain't broke don't fix it. Maybe that is what's wrong with my computer.

FRONT PANEL AUDIO PROBLEM

Ok i have a Hp pavillion m7480n and yesterday i bought a new graphic card (Nvidia geforce gt220) so i installed the card correctly and everything went well. When i restarted my pc the sound in the taskbar said something about HD. The graphic card has a HDMI out so i guess that after installing the card, the audio went to default HD wich i really didnt want to cuz i do not have a hd monitor.
then i downloaded, reinstalled, uninstalled, reboot, installed again the realtek hd audio driver cuz thats what i thought it was but nothing worked ! so now if i want to use my mic i have to plug in the device at the back of my pc wich is really annoying cuz i change alot.
i really tried everything from going to the bios setup to enable "onboard audio", reinstalling drivers, realtek sound manager options "mute rear output device, when a front headphone plugged in." "enable jack detection when device is plugged in".... so i dont know what else i can do about it... really need help ! and by the way i noticed that on my realtek HD audio manager the "Front panel" is grayed i cant click on both of the inputs heres a link to the screenshot
http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/9473/picyy.jpg
and on this screenshot i there is some level (green bars) on the mic but beleive me its not working.
i beleive that theres a possibility that a wire disconnected when i installed my graphic card but i want to be sure its not a simple driver problem or whatever else before playing with the wires inside.

had the same issue, its the graphics card since it has an integrated HD audio, it causes a conflict, what you have to do is restart the PC, hit either F1 or F10 to go to setup, then go to where it says sound, and you have to change it to onboard device
after that both should work

K9N2G Neo Front panel audio not working

I have plugged in various cases and i/o bays into the audio connector on this mb and NONE of them work. Yes I have tried the "disable detection" option with no luck. I am currently trying to use a silverstone fp32 i/o bay that definately supports hd audio but it still doesn't work. I made no wiring mistake as it was a plug and not seperate wires.

What do I have to do to get front panel audio that was promised with this board?
edit: you know I have NEVER had trouble with AC97 yet I have NEVER gotten HD audio to work properly EVER

It doesn't follow AC97. But it is a Realtec chip, and they often run into problems. For example they'd like their drivers installed while in SafeMode.
Where exactly did the problem come up? Is the HD controller enabled, (BIOS)?
Is this relevant, stolen from the Englizsch only manual:
"When you are playing the first audio source (for example: use Windows Media
Player to play DVD/VCD), the output will be played from the rear panel, which is the
default setting.
Then you must to select the Realtek HD Audio front output from the scroll list
first, and use a different program to play the second audio source (for example: use
Winamp to play MP3 files). You will find that the second audio source (MP3 music) will
come out from the Line-Out audio jack of Front Panel."
Off: Think this is the first time this board come before my eyes in this forum.

LEDs on front panel

Employed my Vista Pavilion for several years without incident until last night when I noticed the top "on/off" button which usually glows a light blue was unlit.   I originally assumed a power glitch, so I just restarted the machine to note the following:
    Fans come on and the power supply seems OK, but the system did not boot.   The screen was just black with no characters or image/background. In fact, the screen's power saving mode soon engaged indicating the video card was not sending a signal. Never get to the BIOS screens.
     Now here is what I think may be significant: the green LED and blue LED in the front console were on continuously.
Sometimes, hardware manufacturers provide diagnostic information by way of the lights (e.g., washing machines).   In other words, turning on LEDs can provide state information. Is this true with HP hardware?
Some more clues which tell you what is not the problem. I happened to have a new power supply handy, so I traded it out with the same results.   In normal operation, the green LED indicates disk activity, so I just removed the disk entirely to see if the green light would go out.   Nope, still on steady.   The blue LED typically implies the WiFi operation but I rather doubt at this pre-boot state the WiFi would be working.
I traced the power button line (two grey wires) to a half-sized board in the rear. No breaks in the wire or bad connections.
Any ideas?

HP Pavilion Elite m9357c Desktop PC

http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docLocale=en_US&docId=emr_na-c01357175
Don't understand this reference to a half-height board.
The Front Panel Header (9-pin, 2x5) on the motherboard is where those front panel LEDs and buttons are terminated.
EXAMINE Pictorial in the Internet link to motherboard (above).
HOWEVER, some HP Desktop models have a front LED to show the user of LAN or Wi-Fi connections.
That wire would connect to the network card or motherboard via a different connector.
Some Media PCs of this era (2008) had Infared connections (option) for remote control of TV tuner option card.
LEDs do not last forever (have a long, but finite life) and can fail due to DC over-voltage or surge conditions (environmental, component failure).
In addition, this Desktop PC is now 7 years old .... a long-life for any desktop.
IF the motherboard has failed (component failure, such as capacitors), then replacement may be best advice.

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..

How to open remote front panel of vi's within an executable from an executable.

How do I remotely open front panels of subvi's contained within an executable, where both computers just have LabVIEW Real Time loaded (programs are run as executables)? I want to use the Method: Remote Panel Open Connection to Server to make this work. I have been getting error 1032 "VI Server Access Denied". I do not want to use the web page method (connection is too slow when controlling front panel objects and I can not programmatically exit out (release control of vi) of the web page).
Ex.
PC1: Has executable1 using Remote Panel Open Connection to Server Method etc. code inside. This program will make a call to executable2 (on PC2) to open up different vi front panels (within executable2), so the controls can be changed from PC1. I want to be able to make changes to the vi's running on PC2 from PC1.
PC2: Has executable2 containing several subvi's.

Not sure if this is what you are looking for but here is how to launch executables that can interact
