Front side Audio Connections to mainboard

Hi,
The front panel audio socket has a "send" and "return" line for the left and right channels. The green socket on the front panel has special switching connections inside it. Normally, the send and return lines of each channel are connected together. The signal returns to the mobo, and is connected to the rear audio out socket. If you plug something into the front socket, the switches open and disconnect the return signal, effectively cutting off the rear output signal.  If the front panel socket isn't connected at all, a pair of jumpers have to be fitted between pins 5-6 and 9-10 to connect the signals to the rear socket.
When experimenting, avoid connecting to pins 3 & 4, as these might have some voltage on them.
Cheers

  • [VIA] MSI KT4V-L Front side Audio Connections to mainboard

    I have an MSI KT4V-L mainboard and i want to connect audio to the board from the front of the case. The manual is really sketchy as to what the connectors are. The pinout in the manual says     P5  Right channel audio signal to front panel, P6 Right channel audio signal return from front panel.....and so on for the left side. Also is P2 Ground used by analog audio circuits. My question is, is P5 the (+) side of the channel and P6 the (-) side of the channel? Or is P5 the Line Out and P6 the Line In and P2 a common ground for all the audio? Any help is really appreciated

  • Need help for front pannel audio connection

    Hi everyone,
    I've a msi p4m800 board. Its doing good but i want to connect the front pannel audio connection but am a beginner and don't really know about the pin assignment.
    There are 5 small cables for audio marked as:
    spkL
    spkR
    Mic
    Mic power
    Gnd.
    I know to connect these in 10 pin JAUD1 slot but how? Am much confused and I really want to connect front pannel audio.
    ps: is there any possibility to damange the system if i connect these pins wrongly?
    Thanks in advance
    Regards

    Please refer to your manual, there should be a page to teach you on how to connect the front panel audio.

  • Fronta panel audio connections on KM4M

    I got a pc case, and the cables for the front panel audio are: left  , right , mic, and ground. The front panel works fine, but the rear ports dont.
    What should i do to make it work?
    Maybe conect left in with left out and right in with right out?

    There must be a return from fron panel audio for rear ports to work
    What i did was to solder a piece of solid wire on the jumper, and simply plug in the front panel audio left and right in that wire and it works FINE

  • Front Panel Audio connection help needed

    I own an MSI 790GX-G65 with Realtek HD audio, installed in an NZXT Tempest case.
    Using the AC-97 plug from the case into the MB JAUD1 connection I get front panel  headphone audio, but no mic input or automatic detection from the Realtek manager.
    In short: Which plug(s) do I use on the MB socket JAUD1? I will detail my NZXT front panel connections.
    NZXT Connectors:
    Maxi Plugs:
    HD Audio
    AC-97
    Mini-Plugs:
    MIC-IN
    Ground
    L-Out
    Ret-L
    Ret-R
    R-Out
    MIC-VCC
    FYI: I'm using Windows 7 64 bit. OS has been updated to current.
    Thanks for your help.
    Merry Christmas!
    Robert

    Ok. I checked and confirmed... I DID use HD Audio in JAUD1. I only thought I was using AC97... The problem still is:
    Front Panel Headphones: Okay.
    Front Panel Mic: Not detected at all.
    Audio driver version is 6.0.1.6316
    Audio Controller HD Audio
    Audio Codec: ALC889
    DX11
    Window 7
    Thanks for any further suggestions

  • P35 Neo2 front panel audio connections

    Appologies if this has been covered elsewhere [I did search honest ]
    I'm having trouble getting the case front headphone jack to work with my MSI P35 Neo2 motherboard. The connections from the case are;-
    Speaker Right
    Speaker Left
    Speaker Right Rtn
    Speaker Left Rtn
    Mic IN
    Mic Bias
    Gnd
    ...and the motherboard JAUD1 connections are-
    1  Mic-L
    2  Gnd
    3  Mic-R
    4  Presence#
    5  Line Out R
    6  Mic-JD
    7  Front JD
    8  NC
    9  Line Out L
    10 Line Out JD
    Since the manual states these conections are compliant with the Intel front Panel and seems to mention HD audio, am I wasting my time? Obviously I'd like the rear speakers to be disabled when I connect the headphones at the front.
    Any clues?
    Cheers

    Have you checked in realtek's audio manager and see if you could switch between front and rear individually?
    Yes I did have a dig around with this because it senses when additional speakers etc are connect at the back. I cannot get the audio manager to acknowledge there is a front connect (with or without anything connected) 

  • Where to get Front Panel Audio connections ? (xfi xtreme mus

    Hi, i am curious about this add-on and was wondering where it can be purchased and for how much from australia.Message Edited by franpa on 02-09-20082:4 AM

    It seems its not available in your region (australia). You can call Creative Labs customer service to see if you can buy the SB X-Fi I/O upgrade kit. But, to give you an idea how much it costs, click on the US weblink below. You can maybe do a wide search on the internet to see if it's available in your area, or try eBay too.

  • Front audio connection on Antec Sonata case

    I'm building a new system with K8N Neo Platinum and Antec Sonata.  It's more or less working now execpt for bits and pieces here and there.  I've been scratching my head over the audio connection all afternoon.  The only way I can get audio signal to come out at all is to unplug the front audio line, put the jumpers back and get it out of the back.
    Did anybody manage to get the front panel audio connection on the Sonata working at all?  The pinout for JAUD1 on page 2-20 of the Neo Platinum manual looks exactly the same as front audio header header pin assignment on page 20 of the Intel Front Panel I/O Connectivity Guide.   On the Sonata side, page 4 of the Sonata manual says "If your motherboard supports Intel's standard onboard audio connector, you can plug the 10-pin connector directly onto the board".  So far so good.  Then the Sonata manual goes on to say on page 5:
    8. Rear Right Speaker Out Pin: Connect the RET-R connector to this pin.
    9. Reat Left Speaker Out Pin: Connect RET-L connector to this pin.
    Note:  Your motherboard may not support rear speaker output.  In this case, you do not need to connect RET-R and RET-L.
    This last part makes no sense at all.  According to the Intel document, those RET lines are signals returning from the front panel.  They have nothing to do with rear channel, and they must be connected or you won't get anything from the rear line out jack.  So what's really going on?  Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
    Andy

    Those 8, 9 and the notes only apply if your motherboard does not have the Intel compatibile IO connectors. So you should ignore those lines.

     What case do you have? If it is an older case with AC97 audio then you would need to purchase something like one of these:  http://www.amazon.com/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=hd+audio+front+panel&tag=googhydr-20&index=electronics&hvadid=54539991636&hvpos=1t2&hvexid=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=11069445173547096755&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=b&hvdev=c&ref=pd_sl_2w99a9udvo_b
     I simply got me an inexpensive case for my last upgrade since I also needed front panel USB 3 and up to date card reader in addition to the HD audio. My case was only $10 more (free shipping at time of purchase ) than the front panel module I needed so I got the new case you see in my signature instead.

  • 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.

    Here is one place to start from - http://audigy2zshowto.blogspot.com/.
    Follow the links found on that page to other sources --> you may find the pin-order for your card/case models too.
    NOTE: Pin order on 0-pin properiatry connector may vary a bit from A2Zs what's been used there (like it did for Audigy 2) but it's not very difficult to find out the right pins.

  • 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

  • Connecting Front Panel Audio to K8NGM2

    I am trying to connect the front panel Audio(Headphone Jack and Mic) I front panel wires are labeled R-In, R-Out, L-In, L-Out, Mic Bias and Mic and GND.The MBconnectors are labeled port 1L, GND, Port 1R, Presence #, Port 2R, Sense1_Return, Sense_Send, Key, Port 2L, Sense2_Return.
    Can this be done?

    I quess you guys got a AC97 configuration wire and have HD audio on board.
    I bough a new case some days ago and that one had a HD audio and a AC97 wire.
    you guys just cant connect it without the right wire.
    You can try to manualy put it in the right configuration because HD and AC97 use the same wires but other sequence.
    but I quess you cant pull them out of the jack so maybe you need to get a emty one and cut the wires off and put them in the right holes or something 
    or just buy a new case
