Firewire for front panel

I got a new MSI NEO-FIS2R mobo today. I know there are no pins to get the front panel Firewire to work on my Antec P160 case. Are there any cards I can add into the system that can get the front panel firewire port to work??

onebyte ,
Given the variety of different pin outs used by both case & mobo manufacturers I prefer the single pin solution to ensure usb & 1394 setup is correct. Having spent some time over xmas moving to a new case with these connectors I have some sympathy with what you say. I actually used cellotape to bind the pins into pairs which made inserion easier.
But yes a small plastic frame through which the pins could be placed and held together, then inserted to the Mobo header would be useful.

Why use a wait timer when you can "wait for front panel activity"?

Why does everyone:
1) Wire a stop button to the while loop conditional terminal and add a wait for 100 ms (or so) timer to the loop.
When they could:
2) Wire the stop button to the while loop conditional terminal AND to "Wait for front panel activity" VI as described in the VI's help file?
Thanks!

That's just a matter of habit. In previous LV versions, the wait for front panel activity was not available.
And of course, now you can use the Event structure, that offers better possibilities...Message Edité par chilly charly le 06-25-2006 04:11 AM

P965 Bios setting for front panel audio ???

Yes sounds crazy, I hope someone can bring me up to speed here or maybe offer a suggestion.
The story is I just finished building a P965 Conroe for a friend, he's picked it up and it's disappeared some 300 odd km to the North of me.
Rings me up and he can't get the mic working on the front mic out - the headies work, but no mic, the case is a Chenbro Xpider Gamebomb and the front panel is Intel I/O standard with a keyed connector that plugs into the mobo that you just can't get wrong.
So to cut a long story short, the mic works on the rear mic port but not on the front, and the speakers/headies work on both the front and rear.
I've asked him to take the front off the case and unscrew the port mounting bracket and just make sure all the wires are on properly at the back of it, but I just thought I'd asked the question here and see if anyone has any other suggestions for when he rings me and says all the hard wiring appears fine

Hmm thanks Maesus, would make some sense, but I've combed P965 pdf again and I can't find any reference to a jumper setting for the mic
OK - I found it, software setting in Realtek HD

Help with USB for front Panel on case!!

Ive got the K7N2G mobo and Im trying to connect to JBT1 for Front USB.. it mentions bluetooth connection but it also talks about it being for USB.. Pleas help.. am i missing a bios setting? How else can i get the front sub ports to work on my case?

You got mixed up, JBT1 shares a USB connection with a USB header. If you use JBT1 for bluetooth you must give up one of the USB ports but you can't use JBT1 for USB.
And I moved you over to the nvidia/sis section since you posted in the VIA section.

Time display on x-axis for front panel instead of data points

What do I need to change or add in my block diagram so that on the waveform graph the time will be on the x-axis instead of the data points. I am running this VI on a pda for some testing and I would rather get the time on the horizontal axis. Im also using an NI USB-6008, windows xp and Labview 8.2
Thanks

And since you are sending it an array of doubles rather than an array of waveforms, there is no timin information associated with it. It will assume 1 sample per second. If your acquisition is faster than that, you will need to set the dT of the graph or the scaling multiplier factor of the X scale of that graph.
(PS, it is always a good programming practice to show the labels for all the terminals on your block diagram and assign the terminal a name.)

Front Panel connector for JAUD1 on K9A2 Platinum mobo

I bought some headphones for my computer and they work well when plugged into the line out and mic on the back. It's a pain unplugging my speakers in the back and plugging in the headphones, then switching back when I want my speakers again.
I noticed there is an internal JAUD1 connector which suggests that I can attach a front panel audio device to it. Where can I get such a device and what is it called ( I can look on New Egg if I know what to look for ) ? Does MSI sell one ? Does it attach in front into one of my drive bays ( I have lots of them in a Lian Li case ) ? If I have the device attached and plug my headphones into it, can I listen to audio through my headphones without having to unplug my speakers ?

My case is about 10 years old I believe. It is a Lian Li PC-70USB Full Tower ATX Case and it still is excellent. But it did not come with a front panel audio connector. Is it possible to buy one anywhere which can fit into a drive bay and which connects to the JAUD1 on the K9A2 ? I will search New Egg for "front panel audio connector", and I will ask Lian Li if perhaps they have one for older cases.
You can buy a new soundcard that comes with some front panel bay too ,though is much more expensive than a simple new case.
If you managed 10 years without a front jack why would you want it now ?!
Buy some USB headshones ,if there is a front USB connector ,maybe you get even better sound quality.
The sound on the Platnium is not so great anyway ,i ve turned it off in the first 2 months of usage to use either X-FI either D1 which are much better sound wise.

Connecting front panel on case to motherboard

I've just bought a new case for my computer and it has connections on the front for USB and Firewire but i don't know where to attach them to my mobo. Anybody know where they go.

well, i would usually use JUSB2 and JLED1 for the LED Bracket (JLED1 looks like USB but it isn't, its for the LEDs)
so really, you'll probably want to use JUSB3 for front panel
DEL gave you pinouts for the USB, but it's all in your manual...
when he says block he means they basically look like the connector on the MSI USB (led bracket) bracket thingy... all in one, easy to plug-in 'block'
you say you've got them where they are all separate.... well they should at least be labeled... if they are, just match up the labeled wires with what is says in the manual they give all the info you need... (what DEL gave you)
THE SAME is true for the Firewire, if you've got the same 1 pin at a time connectors.. just follow what it says in your manual, and plug it in according to the labels on your each individual wires....

An alert messarge i don't underdant: insane object at BDHP + 83ACC in "VI name's":{graphics} (0x80):Front Panel Terminal (Term)

Hello!
I don't know why in just yesterday appear in one of my VI an alert message or error message when i want to close oer save the VI.
The message is like the following one:
Insane object at BDHP + 93ACC in "Vi name's": {graphics} (0x80}: Front Panel Terminal (Term)
I don't know why now it appears this message because i have no modify the Vi.
I want to ask you why it appears this message and the most important......how can i solve it?
Thank you very much
Larson

Hi!!! I copy and paste from an NI engineer post asking about what is the "insane object" problem:
This message means that an object in LabVIEW such as a wire or a loop tunnel does not pass an internal test known as a sanity check. If the errors are serious enough, LabVIEW exits because something has become very corrupted. Sanity checks occur before each save, to ensure that corrupted VIs are not written over good VIs. They also happen as part of the compile process. Thus, sanity checks happen frequently. Many insanities are actually fixed (made sane) after the dialog box appears and will not appear again, so the first thing you should do after receiving an insane object error is to try to make a backup copy of the VI, run it, and perform some additional editing to see if the problem was resolved automatically.
VI corruptions do not happen often. They can happen because of disk corruption, but this will often lead to a file that can no longer be loaded. Corruptions can also happen because the programmer did something that corrupts a LabVIEW data type, perhaps as the result of a call to external code. The following are examples of insane object errors:
Insane Object at BDHP+4D50 in 'sksks.vi': (graphics) (0x80):wire segment (WIRE)
Insane Object at BDHP+5CA0 in "CAPL3.vi": (graphics) (0x80):loop tunnel (DCO)
In the first example above, the error message itself gives information about which object is insane. BDHP means the offending object exists on the block diagram heap, as opposed to the FPHP for front panel heap. The +4D50 is the hex offset in the heap where the object is located. The "Wire Segment" text indicates that the object is a wire object. The "graphics" text indicates that the insanity is graphics-related, which means it is not serious and will most likely be repaired automatically.
The second message above is similar, but refers to a loop tunnel (i.e., the tunnel formed where a wire crosses the edge of a loop) rather than a wire.
Solution: If you receive an insane object message, it is best to delete and recreate the most recently created objects on either the front panel or block diagram, depending on whether the error message contains "FPHP" or "BDHP". Make use of the text in the error message in deciding which objects to rebuild. In the case of the second message above, it would be best to delete and recreate the most recently created loop tunnels.
Another workaround that works best if the VI is small is to select the entire diagram and copy it to a new VI. After saving the new VI, there is a good chance the insane object error will no longer appear. If the VI is too large to cut and paste to a new VI and another computer with an identical version of LabVIEW is available, you can copy the VI to disk (or to your network if that is available) and open it on the second machine. If the insane object errors do not appear, save the VI (on the second machine) and transfer it back to the original PC (by disk or by network). The new, uncorrupted version of the VI should now run without generating the insane object error.
Hope that helps you,
Jaime

How to activate Front Panel Wait in LV7.1?

Dear list,
     I am a new comer here. Thank you for your help.
    I have a question: when I try to use the "Wait for Front Panel Activity", the time sequence looks just skipping this without doing anything. Can someone help me to take a look at the code, to see whether it is a bug in LV7.1, or there is better solution to this? I am using WIn XP SP2, LV7.1 .
    I also saw this post but no one has answered yet: http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&message.id=104403&query.id=26578#M104403

TestFrontpanelWait.vi ‏26 KB

Place an indicator on the loop counter [i] and you will see that is is waiting just fine. Of course any front panel activity (mouse down, key down, etc.) will terminate the wait.
"Wait for front panel activity" is realtively crude tool to pace a loop. You might want to use an event structure instead, e.g. for "OK button: value changed". What is the program actually supposed to do?
You should also eliminate the local variable, it just complicates the code and requires an additional copy of the data in memory. Instead, you can place the string indicator terminal after the case structure and wire the strings from the various cases to it using a single output tunnel. The numeric indicator should be blue (right-click..representation..I32) to match the datatype of the wire.

Edit Disable Panel Grid Alignment does not affect the Positioning of Front Panel Labels

In LabVIEW 2010, when I choose Edit>> Disable Panel Grid Alignment the positioning of Front Panel objects gets much finer so that I can make small adjustments. Put it does not seem to affect the positioning of front panel object labels. These object labels still move in very coarse increments and do not allow me to position them carefully.
How do I turn off the Grid Panel alignment for Front Panel Labels?

The positioning of labels you encounter has not so much to do with any grid, but with the fact that for labels, LabVIEW attempts to snap them to one of the control corners if you get close enough to the owning control. Outside of a certain range of the owning control you should be able to place them easily on any pixel. The snap behaviour of owned objects is not configured through the panel grid option. I'm not aware of an option to disable this behaviour, but usually find it rather handy instead of annoying. If it happens to not be exactly as desired, I adjust with the label selected and using the cursor keys.

870A-g54 front panel audio missing from bios

Boy is this motherboard full of glitches. Teaches me a lesson about buying the cheapest for crossfire.
I would really love to use my front panel audio. Only problem is my front panel audio isn't in the BIOS!
When i bought my 870A-G54 I had to do a BIOS flash to support my six core CPU. Could the BIOS flash have changed my BIOS menu and taken away the front panel audio setting?
Lol does the motherboard even have an option to turn front panel audio on and off?
I had the bios flashed in the store the moment i baught it so i dont know how the bios looked before the flash. The Guy failed to flash my board because he had the wrong bios update and it was too big. So i had to download the right one from msi myself. People like that shouldn't work in computer stores.
My front panel audio has one of those single plug and go audio cables so im shure i couldn't install it wrong, even had the manual next to me.
Am i to be stuck without front panel audio??

Quote from: Stu on 20-October-11, 03:51:31
BIOS does not have any options for front panel audio, it is controlled by the Realtek Audio Manager control panel.
What's the exact problem you're having?
Well i plug in my headphones to front audio and the software should recognize it and light up the ports on screen. But they stay greyed out and i have no mic or audio.
On my old asus motherboard i had to make shure front panel audio is turned on sorry for the confusion.
any idea why it doesn't pick up my headphones?
Ive tried diffrent headphones lol they dont work either

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.

Front panel USB connection to MB 990fxagd80v2

Hi Gents, new member here with some issues on me last build. I assemble my families computers , about one every 5 years. Other than that I am not hot in computers. So when I get into a build I have some homework and studying to do, and some glitches. At this moment my newest machine is up and running Win 7 with a few loss ends. My case is an USB 2.0 era with 2 ports in the front bottom behind a little door. Each USB cable has 3 wires ending in a flat 3 pin female plug. The motherboard has 2 USB male ports, 9 pins each, one coded blue the other red each one has an alignment notch. This MB came with a sack of M-connectors to be an easy transition between the front panel plugs and the Motherboard, so, 2 of the M-connectors are red and blue, and have alignment lugs that appear to be made for the USB ports on the MB. The problem is they do not fit. While I am gentle and careful I don't believe they fit. I have other front panel issues I'll save for another time. My Gazelle case seems to use different nomenclature than the motherboard. But the USBs are the issue now, anyone have some light on this subject? I would also like to convert one of the front USBs to 3.0.

"Each USB cable has 3 wires ending in a flat 3 pin female plug."
That can't be right as USB are 4 wire, red, white, green, black. Connectors are 5 or 10 pin plugs with no connection on the 5th pin not used on both types & 9 being the key on the 10 pin plug.
"I'm not sure is I have a variation from the standard MB or what..."
Any connectors, MB headers are standard throughout the industry therefore they will be the same from all manufacturers.
"or is the connection does not use m-connectors"
You should not need m-connector for USB anyway. m-connector was introduced mainly for front panel connections that had individual wires for each LED, switches and such. The set in the pic I show is from old P35 MB.
Can you post a photo(s) of the case connectors you have?
See here how to add photo's: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=90789.0
Personally I use Photobucket to host my pics.
M-connectors for USB should be clearly marked as such if the MB even came with any for USB. Over the years they have eliminated some and I think the ones for USB were eliminated.

Front Panel audio headers

Hey all... I bought a case recently that has spaces for front panel audio + usb. Problem is, the case only came with the headers for the USB side of it.. I'm wondering if anyone knows where i can get the little device that i screw onto the inside of the front of the case so i can use the case to it's potential.. it's just 2 usb plugs (on top of each other) and to the right of it, the microphone and headphone plugs. I've seen it in other cases.. why they molded the case with it, but didn't put it on there... i don't know..
this is a Fudin case from Fry's Electronics ATX-208USB.
Any help would be MUUCH appreciated..
Thanks!!

I'm using nForce4 (with Realtek AL850) - thus audio chip a bit newer or the same as yours, yet I have to use dmix (although dmix is said not to be needed to be configured in newer alsa, I had less problems playing more sounds at once with my previous VIA 82xx, probably due to its DXS).
