Help with front panel audio on K9N board.

Okay, I admit I'm a bit of a moron with front panel audio but I just can't figure out how to configure this board with my case. Here are the pins:
Case:
Mic In
Mic Bias
SpeakOut L
Return L
SpeakOut R
Return R
Ground
Motherboard:
PIN    SIGNAL      DESCRIPTION
1    PORT 1L      Analog Port 1 -Left channel
2    GND      Ground
3    PORT 1R      Analog Port 1 -Right channel
4    PRESENCE#     Active low signal -signals BIOS that a High Definition Audio dongle is connected to the analog header. PRESENCE# = 0 when a High Definition Audio dongle is connected.
5    PORT 2R      Analog Port 2 -Right channel
6    SENSE1_RETIRN     Jack detection return from frontpanel JACK1
7    SENSE_SEND     Jack detectionsenselinefrom the High Definition Audio CODEC jack detection resistor network
8    KEY      ConnectorKey
9    PORT 2L      Analog Port 2 -Left channel
10    SENSE2_RETIRN     Jack detection return from frontpanel JACK2
I haven't been able to make any sense of the two, so if anyone here can help, I would appreciate it very much.

You may tell us more information about your mainboard, please give us the detailed name of your mainboard. :D Then there will be more users could give some suggestions.
Sorry, there aren't that many K9N boards out there, but mine is the K9N Platinum MS7250 Version 1.0. It's the AM2 non-SLI nVidia nForce 570 Chipset model.
Thanks for any help.

Help RE:Front Panel Audio and Sound Blaster Live! 24 Bit C

I own Soundblaster Li've! 24-bit card.
I would like to make use of the front panel audio jacks on my case but i have no idea where on the card to connect the pins on the card ( the pins are:Mic In, Mic Power, Ear R, Ear R, Ear L, Ear L, GND)
Anyone know where exactly do each of these pins go?

Maybe this site can give some light on this matter - http://audigy2zshowto.blogspot.com/

Audigy SE: Possibility to connect with front panel audio in/

I have a case which has an audio in and out jack on the frontcase. Is it possible to connect these with an connector on the Audigy SE?

My "disable front panel detection" is unchecked.
It is not clear to me if you were able to check (enable) the box. The setting you need is "disable front panel detection" checked; that means the motherboard delivers the output to front panel, irrespective of there is a headphone connected or not.
If you are unable to check that box, i am not sure where is the problem. If you can, i expect you see a pop up window asking you what you have connected to the front panel, by default it should be an audio output option like headphone. Make sure, as I mentioned already, that you can see inside the audio software window the status of all the audio input/output sockets in different colours. The 2 icons representing the frontpanel should be highlighted and you should be able to designate what output/input you want from each of them. If this doesn't happen there is no point in connecting the audio out cable to the header (unless you have the appropriate MSI frontpanel cable which provides jack detection)
If you have successfully disabled the detection, you just need 3 wires to get output (things work when they are simple). Forget about the looping; you don't need them if jack detection is disabled.
I suggest you connect the 3 wires to the pins as shown in the manual.
Note the pin configuration diagram for the "JAUD1" header. I think the common/ground wire from your headphone socket should be to pin 2, Right out to pin 5 and left out to pin 9.
Let us know of your results.

Front panel audio on k9n sli platinum

Hy, I'm trying to connect the audio out and mic of my case to the motherboard.
I did the folowing:
pin 1: mic
pin 2: ground
pin 3: mic vcc
pin 4: not connected
pin 5: ear R
pin 6: return R
pin 7: not connected
pin 8: not connected
pin 9: ear L
pin 10: return L
But I just can't seem to find why I can't get a sound out of it, and why the mic isn't comming through.
I checked the bios and the onboard audio is enabled.
Also a weard thing is that in realtek hd audio manager these connectors are showed as 'front green in' and 'front pink in'; both mics!?
And if I check the mic, 'front pink in', no sound is comming in.
I could use some help on this one.

Not mute it but disable as you're using the front connection but you must refer to you mobo layout and used the jumper to disable it. Gd luck.

Front panel audio to sb live audigy2

hi all
i got a new tower case with front panel audio (mic, headphone, audio-in & audio-out)is there a way to pin these to my li've audigy2 zs? i've got the onboard audio turned off in the bios so i'm assuming the motherboard pins won't work with this turned off, and i'd much rather pass everthing thru my soundblast card. i don't need all the extra stuff the "li've dri've" has (too bad creative does not make a basic li've dri've with, mic, headphone, audio-in & audio-out and usb & firewire ports).
thanks for any help

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 audio jack is not working on K9N Neo V2

My front panel audio jack is not working on K9N Neo V2. I check the JAUD1 cable and it appears to be connected to the front panel audio jack. My soundcard driver cannot detect any gadgets when I plug it in the front panel. My audio drivers and BIOS are up to date. Is there any known solution to this? My computer is only a few months old and I have not tried the front audio jack until recently. I'm on Vista home premium btw.
Also, I've got another problem, my processor is AMD 64x2 4400+ overclocked to 2.63Ghz. I've been using that clock value ever since I built this computer and stress tested the processor and found that it would not cause any problems like hanging or overheating. However, I recently decided the need for AMD's Cool & Quiet technology and enabled it. It caused BSODs every few days or per week that didn't happen before. I tried it with the default clock value and it still causes BSODs. Can someone help me?

Thanks. Its ironic that disabling it actually enables it.
It has to day with the front panel audio wiring of your case. How many wires are there that can be connected to the board's pin header?

Sound quality isn't very good
Can you be more descriptive? Is the quality better if you plug the headphone into one of the jack at the back panel? (Also, make sure you tell the Realtek HD Audio Manager, that a headphone is connected (and not regular speakers).

K9N Neo Front Panel Audio

Hi all -
I have a K9N Neo (MS-7260 v2.0) that I am trying to wire in the front panel audio from my case. I'm having some major problems trying to figure out how to match up my case wires with those on the MSI board. I'm hoping that one of you experts will have the answer.
My case has the following signals for a microphone and headphone connection:
MIC GND
MIC PWR
MIC IN
HPOUT R
HPOUT -R
HPOUT L
HPOUT -L
HPOUT GND
In other words, the mic has power, ground, signal; and the headphone has two wires for each channel (+/-) and a common ground.
Now, here is the listed pinout from the manual for JAUD1. I could only find the manual for a PCB v1.0, so if that is the issue then please help me find the right manual:
PIN SIGNAL DESCRIPTION
1 PORT 1L : Analog Port 1 - Left channel
2 GND : Ground
3 PORT 1R : Analog Port 1 - Right channel
4 PRESENCE# : Active low signal - signals BIOS that a High Definition Audio dongle is connected to the analog header. PRESENCE# = 0 when a High Definition Audio dongle is connected.
5 PORT 2R : Analog Port 2 - Right channel
6 SENSE1_RETIRN : Jack detection return from front panel JACK1
7 SENSE_SEND : Jack detection sense line from the High Definition Audio CODEC jack detection resistor network
8 KEY : Connector Key
9 PORT 2L : Analog Port 2 - Left channel
10 SENSE2_RETIRN : Jack detection return from front panel JACK2
It doesn't seem like there are enough signals to hook up a +/- for both L/R on the headphones. And where do I put the mic??
Thanks in advance for ANY insights!
Dave

Hello!
I dare not answer your question yet, but I know that many with this kind of question have been helped by contacting the case manufacturer's support some way.
Sure it is not life or death for your problem, but Moderators here are under death penalty not to help people who don't describe their complete system. Motherboard we know. Processor, memory, hard disks, PSU and it's max. amperes and a few other things remain unknown.

No sound front panel audio with newest CMI 9880L driver

So basically I plugged in a headphone the other day on the front panel and noticed the audio jack randomly stopped working. They worked for about 3 years and the last changes I've made was updating the CMI 9880L driver to the newest one on the MSI website for my mainboard( 915P combo), about a month ago. So I thought the problem was the new driver, I went back to the CD that came with the board and installed the audio drivers I had before, It also didnt work!. I went to the hardware manager and clicked on the ROLL BACK driver button and it installed a microsoft driver, this time the front audio jacks DID work, this means is not a hardware problem. What is going on with the new C-MEDIA driver? what should I do to restore sound to the front jacks?
ps. I messed around with the BIOS options(switching between Azalia and AC97) and nothing happened.

I am quite confused... would appreciate your help.
Well, so was I. A good explanation can be found at
http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/sb/cs-015851.htm
The point is, that the same output can be used either for AC-97 front panel audio (what you have on your chassis) or for High Definition Audio (which I've never seen). The board seems to differentiate between these two by means of the PIN #4 (Presence), which you just leave disconnected in your case.
Microphone should use PINs 1, 2 and 3:
1 - Mic In, 2 - Ground, 3 - Mic Power
Audio output should use PINs 5, 6, 9 and 10:
5 - R-Out, 6 - R-RET, 9 - L-Out, 10 - L-RET.
After you'll have connected the PINs to the audio connectors, do not forget to turn off the jack detection in the "Realtek HD Audio Manager" as I described before.

MSI K9N PLATINUM FRONT PANEL AUDIO

Hi everybody
I recently mounted an MSI K9N Platinum mainboard. When connecting front panel audio from case connectors on JAUD1, case connectors are marked as follows:
MIC POWER
MIC IN
GROUND
R-RET
L-RET
R-OUT
L-OUT
which does not match with those written on mainboard user manual for JAUD1 which are FRO PIN 1 TO 9 as follows:
PORT1L
GROUND
PORT 1R
PRESENCE
PORT 2R
SENSE1_RETURN
SENSE_SEND
KEY
PORT2L
SENSE2_RETURN
.I´ve tried to connect it on many combinations but yet it is not working.
Could someone tell me the right way to do it?
Thanks in advance.

I think you better ask this question to the manufacturer of the frontpanel stuff, as I have no clue.

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.

Front Panel Audio is

Hi!
You'll have to excuse my english but it's not my nati've language.
I'm trying to install a front panel audio, and I figured out that the cables must be conected to the soundcard (Audigy 2ZS). I have a Termaltake Xaser Tsunami.
Can you help me, please?

MSI K9A2-CF front panel audio problem

Just rebuilt a computer using the board. Please note, I have not updated the BIOS at all and I am using XP Pro. Anywho, I've tried everything under the sun, so far, aside from previously stated, to get this sucker to work. I have it connected properly, I've installed every audio driver on the motherboard CD. I can't find a setting in the BIOS to turn on front panel audio either. Everything else works fine though. USB's, HD audio connections in the back, etc. The program in windows will detect all inputs except for the front audio in and out.
I'm a bit stumped. Any suggestions?

Quote from: Bas on 17-August-09, 22:22:14
You have to check the wires on the plug, looks like they are wrong or the case-module is broken somewhere.
You have to start checking and measuring with an Ohm-meter.
Remember, neither case front worked. I'm not saying it couldn't be the case, but I'll try to get my hands on an Ohm-meter. Where can I find out what values I'm looking for? I know next to nothing about testing to that extent.
Also, what if it's the motherboard itself? Isn't there somewhere in the bios and/or windows device manager that I can confirm whether or not the device itself is working, or not working, properly?
Thanks for your replies so far.
Mike,
I honestly don't know, but the case only has one audio cable, and the MB only has one audio plug-in for the front panel. I have both drivers installed. The on-board audio plug-in on the rear of the computer works fine. I can get sound, etc, no problem from the rear. Front panel only is not working.

Front panel audio - Headphone detection is reve

When I plug headphones in the intel hd front panel audio port the speaker settings change to 5. when I remove the headphones the creative console speaker settings change to headphones. This is functioning completely opposite of how it is intended. Is there a fix for this issue?Does anyone else have this problem?

I wish I could be of the help you really need, but you did ask if others are having no problems with the front panel jacks. I'm using the XTreme gamer card with a Gigabyte 3D Aurora case, and the front panel jacks work as expected, although I did have to insert and remove the plug many times in quick succession to "clean" the internal contacts in the jack before it would work properly. I've had no problem since. However, I never had a reverse effect like you mention. That is indeed a mystery, but I doubt that it is a software problem. Phil
