Front aufio line out L/R reversed, backplate ok on Antec Sonata

Did they wire this wrong on the case connector? My L/R is reversed only on the front jack, and I connected using the 10 pin single connector. Probably the Antec connector was wired wrong, cause I dont think you can insert the plug reversed.
Anyone ever see this issue?

Well, Well, Well...
After reading this I thought I'd try shifting the audio balance to left and right while playing a track in Winamp. OK for my desktop speakers which shifted left and right correctly. Hooked up my headphones to the front audio connecter and did the same and the left and right are indeed reversed!!! Just opened the case and swapped over the AUD_FPOUT L/ AUD_RET L with the opposite (R)ight pins and now the left and right balance is correct!
I'd actually been thinking lately that the audio didn't sound quite right. Enemy appears on the right but I'm sure I heard him on the left. That explains it. This is not the the first time I've had a board with transposed pins though. On my last Gigabyte board the polarity was incorrect on my HDD light and Power led, had to swap them over to get them to work...
Cheers Horseman for pointing this out

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)?

Sound problems with back line out port

Hey everyone, I just sent an email to MSI Tech Support, but figure I would post a message here as well. I just put together a new system, but I'm having a problem with the back line out port.
My problem: When I plug in the front panel audio connectors (Left Audio Out, Left Audio Return, Right Audio Out, Right Audio Return) in the motherboard on pins 5-6 and 9-10 of JAUD1, the back line out does not work properly. I get sound on only the right speaker of the headphones.
More info:
- Audio Driver: 5.10.0.5620 (from MSI CD)
- If I instead plug the headphones on the front audio line out, then sound is fine
- Here's the strange part, if I unplug the front audio connectors from the motherboard (and short pins 5-6, 9-10 with the jumpers, obviously), then the sound on the back line out works properly!
- My Windows sound settings are fine
Has anyone heard of this problem? Any ideas/suggestions of what I could try?
Could this be a defective board? Could it be bad wires on the case? Seems unlikely since both back line out and front line out work depending on what I have setup.
Help! :-)
Thanks,
icab

Steve,
I appreciate the reply, but I believe you are wrong. Yes, I have searched the forum and did find that thread. Yes, I have read the manual. The only thing that it says is: "If you don't want to connect to the front audio header, pins 5 & 6, 9 & 10 have to be jumpered in order to have signal output directed to the rear audio ports. Otherwise, The Line-out connector on the back panel will not function." That's not my case since I want both ports to work (not outputting the signal both at the same time, obviously).
This can't be ByDesign. Either my board is defective or MSI is not following the Intel Front Panel I/O Connectivity Guide correctly. The whole point of having 4 wires for the front panel audio ports, 2 of the wires being Aud_Ret_R and Aud_Ret_L, is so that the audio signal is sent to the front line out and _returned_ to the back line out if nothing is plugged in the front line out.
I have an IBM machine with an intel mobo at work and it works as mentioned in the design guide.
Any other ideas, anyone? I can still RMA my motherboard, but it's a design issue, i guess I'm stuck. I never got an automated reply from MSI Tech Support, so I guess my email never went through. I'll send another email and let the forum know of the results.
Thanks,
Igor

5.1 rear out doesn't work, but line out and front stereo does

I got my new HP Pavilion p6-2440el Desktop today, but when I tried to plug my 5.1 audo to it (the one with the 3 jacks) it turned out that the 5.1 audio doesn't work, and the Windows'es "playback devices" panel lists the "IDT High definition audio" as not plugged. Sticking any jack to the front or into the line out in the rear changes it to plugged, but obviously with the stereo sound only. I even tried to download the more recent audio driver (found it in google, 6.10.6486.0, the one I got from the Windows update had a lower version) but it's still the same. Any idea how I can fix it? Thanks.

I am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial computer. You can do this at http://h30499.www3.hp.com/hpeb/ .

Mac Pro 2.66 Line Out not functioning.

One of our Mac Pros on display here has a set of Altec Lansing speakers attached to it, but the line out on the back of the Mac no longer works (it did at one time). I've double-checked the settings and there is no audio coming out of the ports. However, I switch the cable to the headphone jack on the front, and boom, instant sound. Dunno why.

This should fix your problem.
1.1. Trash file com.apple.BezelServices.plist in your Home > Library > Preferences folder.
1.2. Empty the Trash.
1.3. Either Log out then log in, or restrt your Mac.
1.4. Check the volume keys' functions a few times in the hours after performing the steps above.
2. More than likely, an errant Startup or Login Item maybe the cause. Perhaps some third-party utility you may have
installed to control iTunes?
My "Troubleshooting Startup and Login Items" FAQ can help you pin that down if such an item is causing the problem.
3. If none of the above sorts it out, after the problem occurs, immediately check these Console logs for additional clues.
Good luck!

Hdajackretask line out question

Hi there!
I want to remap (retask) headphones jack (3.5 mm) to act as line out.
Trouble is in that I can choose only from "Line out front", "Line out back", "Line out center", "Line out side", but I want just one simple "Line out" to connect to 1 channel amplifier.
What can I make in such situation? Will "Line out front" be suitable in such situation? May be "Advanced options" checkbox will help (but I don't know how to configure port in this mode)?
Thanks.

Better audio would be relative. Remember the audio will only be as good as the weakest link in the chain. If you are prepared to use high quality audio files, amplification and speakers or headphones, then yes, you can get better audio performance. But if you are only planning to make a partial commitment, you aren't going to get any gain and will just waste your money.
Here is an example of a iPhone/iPad/iPod D/A device on Amazon. I'm sure there are many more you can check out.
http://www.amazon.com/Nuforce-ICON-IDO-SILVER-Audiophile-Grade-Headphone-Devices /dp/B005LRTH5Q/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1414176166&sr=8-7&keywords=ipod+lightning+ cable+headphone+amps
You don't want to go too cheap because a poor quality D/A converter may make the audio worse. What devices like this does, is take a function that your iPad already does through built-in circuitry and do it externally with the assumption that you can buy a D/A converter and amplifier with higher quality components than those used by Apple.

Line out and headphone problems

Just recently I have started to have a problem where if I use the line-out funtion of my iPod audio will not come out of the headphones afterwards. I use the Belkin auto-kit so I just connect my iPod whenever I drive somewhere, and it annoys me that I have to reset my iPod every time I want to listen through my headphones. I have tried unplugging and plugging back in, increasing and decreasing the volume, pausing/resuming, and changing songs but to no avail. The only solution is resetting the iPod. I was just wondering if anyone out there has had this problem, or knew if there was a more practical solution than just resetting the iPod every time.
5g iPod 30GB Windows XP Pro

Went to the genius bar earlier today to have my Mac Pro looked at. They said that front board and backplane failure is fairly common. In fact, the genius mentioned that his own 12-core suffered the same issues insofar as audio crackling and eventual analog out failure.
I should be getting it back in 5-7 days.

Using Audio-line out in MacPro

Hi,
I have recently switched to Mac from Windows. I have a good Altec Lansing speakers which I would like to continue using for sometime.
Normally the speakers contains black and green connectors and you connect the green to the audio out.
But connecting the green connector to the audio out in MacPro doesn't bring any sound.
What is this audio out? Can I use my Windows speakers with it?
The speakers works fine when I connect to the Headphone Jack in the front.
Any info is useful.
Cheers.
MacPro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Getting the audio out to work the first time can at times be a little fiddly although once you have it working it's no problem after that. What I needed to do is, in the Sound System Preference, is to change the Output between the built-in speakers and the line out a few time while changing the system volume (via the keyboard) up and down inbetween.
I've never figured out why it's sometime like this but once you've fixed it its not a problem afterwards.

Line Out broken.

Hello all,
I have a problem.
The line-out socket in my G5 is broken. I think it is physical damage (possibly caused by someone tripping on a wore plugged into it).
I am fairly technically minded, but thought I would check... does anyone have any experience with this problem?
If I said I was thinking about boring a bigger hole and replacng the sicket with a stereo 1/4" Neutrick locking jack socket what would people say? Possible?
Any comments, suggestions, advice appreciated.
Cheers.

Hi. As can be seen from page 112 here
http://akserver.dyndns.org/macosx/hw/asm/PowerMac/PowerMac-G3-G4-G5/PowerMac-G5/ powermac_g5.pdf
the rear audio out/line out socket is mounted on the main logic board.
To facilitate access for inspection and repair, the rear exhaust fan assembly can be removed
http://www.info.apple.com/usen/cip/pdf/g5/073-0814.pdf
Personally - if the problem with the rear socket could not easily be fixed, I might be irresistably tempted to use the front audio socket. Good Luck.

Faulty audio line out

The audio line out on my G5 dual-core has stopped working. There is a tiny amount of output, but not enough to drive the speakers. The headphone jack in front works. Does this mean the sound card is bad? The machine is less than one year old - should I take it somewhere to be repaired? Does the sound from the headphone jack come from the same sound card?

Yes, I am using powered speakers.

Line Out (Lime Color) Right Side not working.

I plugged in a 3.5m into my Line Out, I have it connected to my stero aux. My stero is working fine and everything with the sound is working right. No shortage in my wires. When I plug it into my Headphone jack it works fine but in my line out the right side only works but the left side sounds really really low. I have adjusted the levels and balance.
I think that the Maufacture must of missed up on the line out size. That's the only thing I can come up with.

this has happened to me. What part do I need to ask for in the shop. My sound was muffled, but I removed the speaker plug from the back and put it in the headset in the front and the whole thing is great now. I just need to now what part I need to ask for so I can fix it. I will google how to do it.

Where in the hell is the Line-Out jack in SB24Bit

I just got a new system with that card included and I obviously wanted to do what is normally always done and what I did on my older system with the SBLi've - plug in the speakers into the speaker jack and plug in my stereo system into the LineOut... but there doesn't seem to be such a jack on that card!!! What is this?!?!?

5800 XPressMusic headphone / line out question.

Hi
Is it possible to use the 3.5mm output as a line level output e.g. for a hifi / car stereo input ?
Or is the headphone stage amp always in the signal path ?
thanks

It is indeed possible. My phone has died again, so I don't have it in front of me, but I often used mine in the car through an FM transmitter, When you plug the thing in, it asks you to select 'headphones' or 'line out'. There might be one other option. Just select 'line out' and enjoy your music at good driving volumes...

AUDIO Line Out Problem

Something weird happened today. I had the audio from my 2.1 system plugged into an iogear DVI switcher. I no longer need the switch anymore, so I then plugged the audio cable from my 2.1 system directly into the audio in port on the back of my Mac Pro. And I get no sound. I tried everything I can think of. The "line out" option is selected under the "Sound" in preferences. I tried plugging in headphones to the headphone jack and get no sound either. When I change it to "internal speakers", I do hear the sound. Just for the heck of it, I also plugged the 2.1 audio cable to the front headphone jack and still no audio from the speakers.
I am pulling my hair out here...can anyone offer any advice??
THANKS SO MUCH!

OMG, I'm so stupid!
I had plugged in my iPhone earlier to the Aux input of the speaker control on the desk and left the plug adapter in it! When it's plugged in, it doesn't allow anything to come through except the Iphone. Unplugged it and all is well again. I can't believe I didn't figure that out on my own earlier!!
Well I hope this helps someone else out in the future who makes this same stupid mistake!
