Front panel sound not working

Front panel sound not working* Hello everyone,
I've just bought a PCI Express X-Fi Titanium. So far everything works great with my 5. sound system, but I have problems with my front panel audio.
My case only supports AC97 front panel audio, but has all individual connectors (so 7 single connectors, not one with 0 pins).
I've already tried only connecting 5 pins (the two AC97 return pins unconnected) and connecting all 7 pins. In both ways the microphone works, but sadly not the headphone output. I also tried changing the two options in the driver but that changed nothing.
I did some Google searching and found many reports where the sound itself works with an AC97 front panel on an HD soundcard, just no jack detection.
Any ideas why that isn't working for me?

! Try here for pinouts of your jacks. I have a Cooler Master case that has AC97 and INTEL HD front panel jacks, but here is the kicker. The AC97 jacks come from the front panel first and then about fi've inches from this jack is an INTEL HD jack. A few wires are changed but perhaps these will help...

Xonar D1 front panel microphone not working in kernel 2.6.33

It is not possible to record anything from my front panel microphone jack after I updated kernel to 2.6.33.
It still works OK with kernel 2.6.32.10, but does not work with 2.6.33.3, and it did not work with 2.6.33.rc8 too. The front panel switch in alsamixer switches only output but not input (mic) now. Before, the switch had impact on both output and input.
When I activate the back panel on the card everything is working well (back panel connectors are active, front panel connectors are inactive). When I activate the front panel then the front panel microphone is not working (back panel microphone works). The alsamixer front panel switch does not have impact on the microphone any more and no switch was added to control the microphone separately from the output.
The alsa version is 1.0.23.
I use 32 bit kernels. My brother uses 64 bit kernels and the problem is the same for him too. Although he uses Xonar DX.
Any idea how to get this fixed?

I'm also having trouble with the 2800pci driver. I installed the v26 firmware from the PKGBUILD in this thread, and it does scan as Cdh says, but will not connect...
$ dmesg | grep rt2800pci

The rt2860sta driver does work, but only at G speed not N. I also tried the ralink 2.3.0.0 driver, but it is even slower than the kernel driver. With 2.6.32 kernel, I was able to get N speed from their 2.1.2.0 driver, but that one won't compile anymore. I've had nothing but trouble with this card for the last year.
I'm very tempted to just buy another card, but I'm not sure which one to buy.

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.
http://www.silverstonetek.com/products/p_contents.php?pno=fp32
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.

X-Fi Titanium PCI Express front pannel connection not working

<font face="verdana,geneva" size="3">I can not get any signal to or from the front pannel connector of my X-Fi Titanium PCI Express. (The rear jacks are working fine.)
<font face="verdana,geneva" size="3">The front header cable from my Antec P-80B worked perfectly with my onboard motherboard sound. Now that I have it connected to my X-Fi I get nothing from the jacks on the front of my case. (The onboard sound is disabled in my BIOS.)? I've double and tripple checked the connection and it is properly keyed and fitted. Is there a step or a setting that I'm missing somewhere to get this working? Can anyone confirm that the front pannel connection is acti've on the X-Fi Titanium PCI Express?

Re: X-Fi Titanium PCI Express front pannel connection not working? I was truly hoping that would help and I wanted to give you some additional hope. I have a coolermaster case, and it has the AC97 jack on the inside with all my other other front panel connectors for hard dri've activity light, reset, and power on. Three inches down from the AC97 jack, the INTEL HD *which works beautifully with the X-FI, only differs by three wires in different locations and the two pinouts configurations match those of the INTEL site identically.
Please tell me what happens as I would like to post a step by step guide for the others here in the forum. You will know when you have successfully adapted the connector because in VISTA and Windows 7, your sound applet in control panel will have a display of the connectors "lit up" when they are successfully connected. Mine shows FP microphone in the applet when its plugged in, and grayed out when its not. Its great for telling if I am connected on the rear of the soundcard of the front.
Best of luck and .......

5.1 sound not working

I have a X-Fi fatalty titanium champion series sound card with logitech z5500 5. speakers running vista x64 sp. I cannot fully utilize the 5. speakers for some reason. I have updated to the latest drivers, selected 5. speakers from both windows and the creative console launcher but then i get some butchered sound from only the front left and right speakers. I know the other speakers work bc if i only use 2. then i get the sound but it lacks the entire 5. stereo effects. Please [email protected]

Re: 5. sound not working?
cedricganon wrote:
Ive tried all those options but nothing. Device manager also says it is Creative SB X-fi. whats also suspicious is that if i use the sound card built into the motherboard, i get the same problem.
When testing the speakers i only have sound from the front left and right speakers. the others are silent. thats through both the vista tester and Creative tester
If that's the case I strongly suggest you test the speaker's connections out, probably on a separate PC if possible!
Also check this [url="http://logitech-en-amr.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/logitech_en_amr.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=9692">FAQ[/url] out for more details on connection and settings of the Z5500 speakers when used with a desktop PC.

Sound not working after checking for driver updates and resetting bios

I am running a (HP Pavilion dv7-6c60us Entertainment Notebook PC)
I had muted the sound and did a system upgrad prompted by my HP assistant after logging on. Now when I try to get sound nothing happens. So I went out to the support site and checked for driver updates and none were found. So I then went into my system bios and reset it as stated in a support for sound not working and still no sound. HOW DO I GET MY SOUND TO WORK AGAIN?

From your models support page Download & Save the latest Audio driver.Go into Control Panel,Programs & Features- Uninstall IDT software.Restart the laptop. After Windows loads, install IDT audio using the downloaded file.

IPOD Mini front panel buttons not functioning

First of all, thanks for reading my message.
I have this wierd problem. My front panel buttons namely Menu, forward, rewind, play/pause and wheel donot work.
The thing that is wierd is that my ipod is still functional using the remote. Even when I am playing MP3s using remote, those regular buttons dont function. They look like they are dead, no response what so ever.
Since the remote has limited buttons I want my front panel buttons to work. Any inputs on this regard is appretiated.
P4 Windows XP

More details:
I can charge my IPOD.
sync it to itunes.
Hold works.
ear phone jack works.
In all my IPOD is in a state similar to what you have when you switch to "HOLD". Irespective of whether I swith the hold button or not.

Beats Audio Control Panel software not working after Windows 10 upgrade.

Beats Audio Control Panel software not working after Windows 10 upgrade. the Beats sound enhancement is useless in WIndows 10. When opening the Windows 10 sound properties I'm getting this box message: Auido enhancement problem Windows has detected the audio enhancement for the following device are causing problems: Speakers / Headphones (IDT High Definition Audio Codec) Woud you like to disable driver enhancement for this device? IDT High Definition Audio CodecBeats Audio Control Panel version6.10.6491.02013.11.2009:43:18 Please provide some kind of fix for this?

Well, it has been a long road on the Win 10 upgrade. At first I got the same error message as above, but after deleting the Dolby Advanced Audio v2 in Win 10 using Control Panel Programs and Features and rebooting, I got into the continual BSOD upon reboot. Here are the steps I took to at least get stable on Windows 10. First, I rolled back to Windows 8.1 using the advanced feature in the BSOD recovery options. Once back in Win 8.1, I deleted the Dolby Advanced Audio v2 using Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel. Then I downloaded the Win 10 update and re-installed it. Once that completed, I updated the Intel Graphics driver under the display adapters (on my G780 it is an Intel HD Graphics 4000, and the driver can be found at https://downloadcenter.intel.com/). Currently I am running version 10.18.10.4252 for my machine. Then, under the Device Manager, I updated the Conexant SmartAudio HD driver under the Sound, video, and game controllers. That driver is currently at 8.66.4.50 and was automatically downloaded from the web when I requested to update driver. I also changed several others settings such as Notify to schedule restart after updates are installed instead of automatic (under Settings --> Update & Security --> Advanced Options) and Do you want Windows to download driver software and realistic icons for your devices? --> No, let me choose what to do, never install driver software from Windows Update. After that, I shut down the machine, waited a moment and booted back up. I have no idea why this helped or if it is overkill, but I am stable and running without a fear of rebooting now. Hope this helps if someone else is having this same issue.

My front speakers are not working.

I have a laptop HP Pavilion dv7-4180ea, Core i7 1.60 GHz, ATI Radeon HD 5650 1 GB, Windows 7 Ultimate x64 with 4 GB of RAM.
The problem came up after I reinstalled the windows about one week ago. After I downloaded the driver from HP Drivers and Support things didn't seem to work as they did before. The front speakers are not working anymore now, only the subwoofer works and it sounds awful. Is there any other driver I need to download or something? Thanks in advance.

Hi here. Use a Mini Display Port to HDMI cable and connect the HDMI into HDMI input on the receiver and the Mini Display to the Mini Display Port on your Mac.
- Go to System Preferences on your Mac. Click on the "Sound" icon. Then in the "Output" tab, select "(your speakers) - HDMI
- Then go into Applications via finder > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup. On the left side of the window select HDMI. On the right side it then should say "Source: (your speakers)"
- Click the "Configure Speakers..." button in the bottom right of the window. Click the "Multichannel" tab. Then select "5.1 Surround" from the pull down menu. Click on each speaker to provide a test tone to make sure each is connect properly. Then click on "Apply" if there is no 5.1 option e.g it's greyed out use options 48000.0 HZ and 8ch-16bit Integer. You can then select Configure Speakers, Multichannel and 5.1 Surround from the drop down. When testing the speakers you may have to use the drop downs under each speaker to change the numbers for which speaker is where. Good luck :-) hope it works

I have done absalutely nothing to my 4g apple ipod touch, and it over heats, won't hold a charge, and the front camera will not work. I bought this brand new in december, and i've barely used it. I've tried restarting it and everything, what should i do?

I have done absalutely nothing to my 4g apple ipod touch, and it over heats, won't hold a charge, and the front camera will not work. I bought this brand new in december, and i've barely used it. I've tried restarting it and everything, I honestly think this is out raging because i spend over $200 on this. To have for music and instagram. I use it about an hour a day, but i've only been using it for about 3 months although i've had it since December. Any suggestions that may help me?

Try:
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

AUDIODG.EXE hogging 80-100% of CPU and sound not working in Vista . . .

I posted this on a Microsoft Answers Forum but none of the techs or people reading have been able to help so far. I'm dying to get to the bottom of this:
Here is my computer:
MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum
AMD Athlon 64 3000+
2GB RAM
XFX GEFORCE 6600 GT 128MB DDR3 DUAL DVI & TV OUT (PCI-E)
200GB WD SATA HDD
500GB WD HDD in external enclosure via USB2
NEC ND-3520A 16X DVD±RW Dual Layer DVD Burner
LG CD Burner
I've been using Vista Home Premium successfully for some time. Recently, not too long after I did a clean wipe of my OS, my audio would stop working. The way it would happen is that everything would work fine until I started iTunes or another audio application and when I would hit play, things would lock up.
Upon inspection of my system resources, I'm noticing that the audio platform for Vista, via the audiodg.exe, is using close to 100% of my CPU resources, even when the computer is making no sound at all.
I've had a Sound Blaster Live! card in my computer for some time but I was not using it; I use the Realtek AC'97 audio drivers that are on my motherboard instead. I thought that the conflict may be the computer wanting to recognize my Sound Blaster, so I took it out of my computer but the problem seems to be worse.
Are there any BIOS setting that need to be adjusted for my sound to start working again?
I'm very reliant on the audio processing power of my computer (I'm in the radio industry, part-time) and this is a huge drag on my productivity.
Any tips would be much appreciated.
REPLY #1:
Thank you for using Microsoft Answers forum. I suggest going to the manufacture of your sound card and download the latest drivers and install them.
MY RESPONSE:
Good suggestion. The problem is this:
I am running on-board audio. I have an MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum motherboard which runs "Realtek ALC Series AC97 Audio Driver" and there is no version for Vista. They have a version for Windows 2K/XP and one for Windows XP 64bit.
Should I use on of those and if not, then what?
UPDATE (from me):
I took a chance and found a Realtek AC'97 driver for Vista.
http://drivers.softpedia.com/progDownload/Realtek-AC-97-Audio-Codec-Driver-Vista-6183-Beta-Download-18114.html
I went to install it and the install hung. So, I closed one of the install windows and then the InstallShield app continued like it was working. So, I hit "Restart my computer". Well, the reboot hung too. So, I reset the PC manually.
When the computer came back up, the sound worked. Hard to tell if this will fix it for good but it's promising. Chaotic. Unpredictable. Annoying.
REPLY #2:
Before you tried updating drivers, did you try rebooting 1st?
I'm just trying to determine if rebooting your system is what resolved the issue - thank you
UPDATE II (from me):
My computer is behaving the same way it was before. AUDIODG.EXE taking up 80-100% of my CPU and the sound not working.
Any other ideas?

Small update: Despite my intelligence, good looks and vast experience I use Google sometimes. To my surprise this file turns out to be a Windows one. Here is someone who is much happier, and since it is some way in my line of thinking I'll quote it, but you might take my previous advice as well:
http://forums.techarena.in/windows-vista-performance/1012315.htm
"- Open up msconfig.exe > Manage startup programs.
- Disable ALL Realtek entries
- Close msconfig.exe
- Right-click on the speaker icon > Audio devices > Speakers (properties)
- Go to the enhancements tab
- Check the box to disable all audio enhancements
- Close the menu
- Right-click on the speaker icon > Recording devices
- Disable all your microphones (yeah..., the actual problem seems to come
from voice inputs rendering..)
- Close the menu
- Restart your computer"
