No front panel audio/ no front/back panel inpu

I have 32bit windows vista home premium and a x-fi platinum card and the audio inputs on the back or front panel dont work. The speaker plug will work on the back, but the headphone plug on the front wont work either. There is a red light coming out of the optical input on the front so the unit is powered. The ribbon cable is also hooked up correctly. Ive fooled around with the selecting default device settings in the sound mixer and it still does nothing.

Guess I should post what I'm using:
Intel Q6600
MSI P6n SLI platinum mobo
8800gts
3gb ddr2 ram
creative x-fi platinum
windows vista home premium.
I recently upgraded the mobo proc and ram and upgraded to vista. under xp with my Athlon 3000+ the front panel worked, after the upgrade its no go. The only ports that work on the back are the mic and the speakers.

  • 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

  • Splitting front & back panel analog audio

    Hello,
    I'm new to arch linux, and I'm trying to reproduce what I was doing using Windows: I have my headphones and my speakers always connected to my computer, and I switched output "by the OS" whenever I wanted to.
    Here, in arch linux, I see I have (in gnome sound panel) the two analog outputs I'd like to switch to when necessary: headphones and line-out.
    However, both of them seem to output audio only to headphones.
    I've tried different things:
    - If I remove Auto-Mute, I can have the audio output on both front and back panel. However, if I re-enable it, I just have front panel analog audio
    - I've tried this, without impact: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pu … ont.2Frear
    I guess it's not a real problem with pulse audio but more with drivers. However, I don't know how to fix it.
    Would profiles help? http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Softwar … /Profiles/
    I doubt it, but if it's the way to go, I'd like to learn about it.
    Here is info about my hardware:
    http://pastebin.com/gnpw0bF4
    And about my pulse audio sinks:

    MSC wrote:Based on your description, I assume your speakers are plugged in to the back panel and your headphones are plugged in to the front? And you're trying to get output to one or the other, but not both?
    Indeed, they are both plugged at the same time, and I want to select my "unique" output.
    MSC wrote:One thing you could try is muting the headphone output before switching to line out in PulseAudio, or vice versa. See also if you can control the volume independently - can you turn the headphone volume all the way down without also silencing the speakers?
    I can't control them independently. Turning the volume down for headphones silences the speakers.
    MSC wrote: Failing that, is auto-mute the only setting your card provides, or are there others? IIRC Gnome hides a lot of switches by default; you can see the full list of settings by running alsamixer in a terminal. You should also look over the ALSA page on the wiki if you haven't already. My guess is that it's not an issue with the hardware itself, but rather some setting that needs to be toggled.
    I don't see much more in alsamixer... I've tried toggling everything up/down, the only way to output on the speakers (back panel) is to switch Auto-Mute on/off.
    In the alsa page, I only see that part as relevant: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AL … g_speakers However, it's for HDMI, which is not the case here.
    Maybe changing alsa model?
    I'm kinda lost...

  • 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?
    Quote
    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).

  • 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 - 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?

    Quote from: [LT]Eternalbliss on 21-June-08, 03:43:49
    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

    there are some posts here that has infomation on them, but of Audigy 2 ZS and doesn't seen to be the same my card. therefore, i'm currently looking at trying to enable both my creative sound card AND motherboard onboard sould so that the front panel can use the connections on my motherboard instead. can this be done?
    it will be even better if it can connect directly into my sound card though

  • Titanium Fatal1ty Pro and front panel audio

    So I hooked up my case's front panel audio cable to the Titanium card and used the front panel connectors.
    The sound quality is noticeably worse than using the back plugs. When I use the front panel mic, I also hear artifacts in the sound. When I play a game, I hear slight buzzes in accordance to what is coming out of the speakers.
    I'm wondering if this is just the quality of my cases's cables or if it also happens with the official creative front panel accesory.
    Anybody want to comment on quality?

    /Re: Titanium Fatalty Pro and front panel audioQI had an older Audigy 2 dri've connected to my X-Fi Xtreme Music and that never had any interference. The X-Fi dri've bay can't be bought separately anymore.
    When I switched to a newer X-Fi without a front panel, I used the case connectors and the sound quality was awful.
    I think it's the way the connectors are wired and the build quality. Despite the really awful drivers Creative ship for their cards, the hardware's actually pretty good.
    There're some guides on how to rewire front panel connectors to reduce noise:

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Yet another front panel audio thread

    I am having problems with my front panel audio, rear audio works fine. I have read as many posts as I could find on the subject and still can't get my headphones to work. PC specs in signature. BIOS version is 7.3.
    The case provides the following wires.
    EAR L
    EAR R
    RETURN L
    RETURN R
    MIC IN
    MIC VCC
    GROUND
    I have read the Intel Front Panel I/O Connectivity Design document from http://www.formfactors.org/developer%5Cspecs%5CA2928604.pdf and it doesn't seem like my case connectors follow the HD audio scheme. I connected according to the AC'97 scheme (except that I only have a single ground plug so I placed it in pin 4 of JAUD1). The headphones do not work. I disabled the Azalia/AC'97 BIOS setting to enable AC'97 audio support and neither the headphones nor the rear speakers work. I have checked the Realtek audio console's Audio I/O tab and unchecked the "Disable front panel jack detection" checkbox. The audio console does not show any headphones plugged in with the Azalia/AC'97 BIOD setting enabled or disabled. I think that I have my case wires plugged into JAUD1 incorrectly. Any suggestions? Thanks.

    just for fun....
    hook the front panel stuff back up inside your computer...
    Open the Realtek Audio Manager..
    Click the Audio I/O tab..
    just to the right of where it says Analog, there is a little blue dot...
    Click it and click to disable front jack detection..
    Then click the Front headphone picture on that page (make sure your headphones are plugged in)
    make sure headphone is selected..
    Do the same for the microphone...
    then click the Mixer tab..
    scroll along till you see Front Green In and Front Pink In
    Make sure they aren't Muted and raise the volume level up..
    If you have a microphone plugged into one of the jacks, click the tiny button to the right of the mute button to boost your mic...
    Not sure if thats your problem but ..
    that control panel is a nightmare...
    Good luck

    I have figured it out how to Put the Front Audio connections OK (I think so)
    Anyways the thing is, i am using Rear HeadPhones attached to the back panel. Now when i insert the FRONT Jack for Headphone, The Sound Control Of Realtech thinks that that I have REMOVED the Front Jack and starts playing through the REAR, BUT, when I remove it says (message Pops Up) that it has been inserted in the FRONT  ZOINKS!!!
    Why is it giving me Opposite Messages and configuring itslef in REVERSE?
    I have installed the latest HD Audio Drivers from Realtek but no use.
    I then turn of autodetection and let it Play through BOTH Front an REAR, thats the only way it runs.
    Also the sound from the FRONT is not very good, when i move the slider to LEFT or RIGHT (the one slider below the Volume),  the Voice clears up a bit , otherwise its mingled (sorta)
