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.

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.

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 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.

975x platinum front panel audio

hi all. ive read every thing on this forum i could find, but can not get the front audio panel connectors to work. my case(sunbeamtech silent storm) has the single molded connector that only fits one way on mobo. in the msi audio control panel, nothing happens when i plug in mic or headphones, or if i disable detection of the jacks. im at the end of my rope. please help!

I had the same problems. I assume that the "AC97" jack is plugged in to the JAUD1 connector of your mainboard. You have to plug in the other jack (HD Audio) to the JAUD1 connector, after this the front panel audio should work.
Look here https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=104480.0 ...

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)

Using Front Panel Audio with Fatality Professional

I have a query regarding connections on the Titanium Fatality PCIe.
I have an XFi XtremeMusic PCI card and am considering replacing it with the Titanium Fatality XFi card. A couple of reasons, I like the shrouded enclosure, I like the little XFi LED logo, I want to move away from PCI cards in my system.
But one of the main reasons is to allow me to connect my Intel HD Audio connector to the card so I can use the Headphone/Mic socket on my case. So if anyone has these cards can they confirm that they have an Intel HD Audio connector on them. If so does connecting the headphone to the case socket mute the speakers?
Cheers

Well, I don't personally have one, but I was under the impression that every X-Fi had one. I know my X-Fi Fatal1ty (original PCI version) included it, and my Recon3D definitely does.
Plus if you check their shop website for the Titanium Fatal1ty Professional than the specs page lists a 2x 5-pin connector for "Intel HD Audio Compatible Front Panel Header" so it most likely does.
I would assume it would mute the speakers only if your case is fully Azalia compliant. By that, I mean the standard (as dictated by Intel) involves the use of two normally-open switches - one each on the headphone and microphone jack - which are closed as a result of plugging something into them. Some cases have these jacks which means it can detect when you plug something in and respond accordingly, but others use cheaper (we're talking differences in cents - not exactly substantial savings, but when you do it thousands of times over it adds up) switchless jacks and simply report them as always plugged in.
Just remember to set up the X-Fi panels to mute the speakers when you plug headphones in, as well as switch the output to headphone mode. You can actually set those two options separately on X-Fis.

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).

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?

Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatal1ty Professional and front panel audio compatabai

I recently purchased a XtremeGamer Fatalty Professional and was wondering if i could connect the front panel audio from my thermaltake case to it

Well, I don't believe that to be possible. I don't think Creative has ever put out pinouts for the cards. And I have a hunch that none of the pins carry analog audio through them (correct me if I'm wrong though).

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

Problem with Audigy 2 Platinum Front Panel Input

0Problem with Audigy 2 Platinum Front Panel Input? Hey everyone,
Here's the background of the issue. I got a PS3 over the holidays for literally free
I had my computer out in a testbed style. Plugged the PS3 into my monitor HDMI --> DVI cable, and Red/White into the front RCA jacks of the Front Panel (Aux 2). As soon as I plugged in the cable, I got sound out of my speakers and was able to enjoy my PS3 in 720p
I put all of the components back into the case after cutting exhause and intake fan holes. I brought everything back to school, fired up the PC and PS3. Lo and behold, there is no more sound from the PS3. I know that PS3s are temperamental in moving, but I hooked the audio up to my TV and the sound came out just fine. The AD Ext cable looks like it's secure and in place. When I hooked up a mic and headphones to the front, they worked fine as well. However it seems to be just the AUX 2 RCA inputs that dont work anymore. Any ideas about how to fix this issue? Is there a function I have to turn on now in the software to allow sound to pass through? Any information would be wonderful!? I'm going to try an optical cable in the near future, just need to borrow one from a friend =/

Problem Solved.
I had moved my cards around for better airflow. I moved the SB Audigy card from the bottom PCI slot to the top. Thinking this might be the problem, I moved the video card back to the top slot PCI-E and the sound card to the bottom PCI slot. Sound is now working again. Thanks for the thread views?:smileytongue:
Think that when I have to buy Win 7 for real if the problem would still persist if I moved the card again? Or is this a hardware limitation?

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
