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.

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.

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

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

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
ps.
If you have the correct connector on your Audigy2, this should work. Here are the links I have:

Someone at Creative Labs should make a sticky out of this procedure and put it in a note at the top of the thread; I bet this gets asked a lot.

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.

K8N Neo Platinum + Sonata Front Panel Audio Problem

Hello,
The front panel audio speaker output is reversed when using headphones on my K8N Neo Platinum and Antec Sonata case. If I swap the left and right front panel audio output signal connectors, the headphone speakers are fine, but then my normal front speakers are reversed. All other connectors seem to be plugged in correctly. I've tried using nvswap, but doesn't seem to work on nForce3. Currently using Realtek driver version 5.10.0.5620 (had the same problem with the drivers included on mb cd) on WinXP Pro SP1 and 5.1 speaker setup (would like to use FPA for mic/headphones while gaming).
Let me know if you need any additional info.
Thanks.

I am having the same problem as well. Was able to correct front output jack by switching the connections. But rear audio is still backwards. I havent tried any sort of 5.1 or 7.1 channel audio setups

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
Pin7 HP_ON
Pin8 Key
Pin9 AUD_FPOUT_L
Pin10 AUD_RET_L
The casing's connectors are:
Mic:
MICOUT
MICIN
AGMD (Ground???)
LineIn:
SPKO-R
SPKO-L
LineOut:
EARO-R
EARO-L
Reserved
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.
Pin1 AUD_MIC - MICOUT
Pin2 AUD_GND - AGMD
Pin3 AUD_MIC_BIAS - MICIN
Pin4 AUD_VCC
Pin5 AUD_FPOUT_R - EARO_R
Pin6 AUD_RET_R - SPKO_R
Pin7 HP_ON
Pin8 Key
Pin9 AUD_FPOUT_L - EARO_L
Pin10 AUD_RET_L - SPKO_L

Front panel audio wont mute rear audio when headphones are in.

Hello,
As the title says my sound isn't muted on the rear speakers when I plug in my headphones. The front panel audio didn't work at first, it said in the manual to disable front panel jack detection. Once I did this the audio came through the front panel, but is not muted at the rear, so I have sound from both the headphones that are plugged into the front and the speakers that are in the rear. The option to mute the rear output when headphones are plugged in is enabled, the speakers are plugged into the green jack, the rear speakers are set to stereo line out and the front is set to headphones.
Can anyone help, at the moment I have to keep unplugging the speakers to listen through the headphones without disturbing anyone else, which with the placement of my computer is not convenient.

Hello,
I have used the link, but the drivers just install the same one I already had (both the rar and the exe do this), even if I remove the previous drivers via programs and features. Unfortunately the problem still persists, I am really stumped as to what is causing it. I am not sure if I have AC'97 or HD Audio connectors on the front of the case, as the case came with absolutely no documentation. I have provided a link to the manufacturers website if that could help in anyway.

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?

Front Panel Audio Issues on both Z97 and X99

Hello,
I am an owner of a Z97 PC Mate and a X99s SLI Plus Mobo.
On both of these mobos, with the latest realtek drivers I cannot get front panel audio working.
I have also tried the MSI drivers for each mobo from the product pages.
I have "Disable front panel jack detection" enabled on both. If I disable this, it shows the jacks not being utilized.
The realtek hd manager shows that both the front panel headphone and mic jack are being utiliized, even with nothing is plugged in and if I have the front panel header disconnected from the mobo. On each model I made sure that HD Audio is enabled in the UEFI.
I feel that since I am having the issue on two seperate products that there is a similar issue between each that I cannot figure out. I do not have this issue on my ASUS Z77 Sabertooth.

Hi
What is the case are you using?
Also are you sure you plug the front audio properly? Or if there are no bent/missing pins? I am on my 3rd MSI board (I switch a lot :D ) but all worked fine with my case.
Try using audio while either board is running on non conductive surface (e.g. wooden table or motherboard box). Might be something shortening the board.
I've tried both boards in all 3 cases I own.

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.
