SBLive! Value + Computer Case's Audio Jack

Hi,
A few years back, I bought a SBLi've! Value (ct4670). I recently put together a new PC with integrated sound, but I've decided to revert back to my SBLi've card for higher quality audio.
Now to my question:
My new PC case has external audio connectors built into the front for convenience/accessibility. The motherboard's audio solution had a set of 9 pins that worked with these connectors, and so I was able to use the computer case's audio jacks. The SBLi've! Value (CT4670) has a similar looking set of 9 pins (labelled JP2), but the manual does not describe the function of these pins. I was wondering if anyone had any info as to whether or not I will be able to use my case's audio connectors in conjunction with my SBLi've! Value card.
Thanks for your help!

Is there anything lodged inside the port?
Have you tried another pair of known functioning headphones? If they do not work, then there is a problem with the port. A trip to an Apple store then would be the best option.
Ciao.

Ideapad S510p Audio Jack

I got a Ideapad S510p Touchscreen laptop.
It has one combo (mic+speaker) audio jack on its left side. When I insert a 3.5 mm, it does not go in even after a little bit of force. Do i have to buy a smaller one?
Can you please tell me exactly what to buy? And how many rings should it have on it? I am nor a technical person. So please explain in easy language so i can convey the same to the employee at the IT store.
Thanking you.

Hi Mahvash,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
As per the information available in the User Guide this model of computer has combo audio Jack and the combo audio jack does not support conventional microphones and also the recording function may not be supported if third-party headphones or headsets are connected, due to different industry standards. Below is the link for more information about Combo Audio Jack.

Computer Case Audio Pan

Hey people. I've got two questions?to ask, slightly off from each other but anyway... Firstly the reason I started this post. I was wondering how I can connect my soundcard (SoundBlaster X-Fi Fatality)?to the case audio jacks (headphone and microphone jacks). The reason I ask is because I want to be able to plug my monitor speakers into the back of my computer and my headphones into the case frontal panel (NOT the X-Fi console). Where would I connect the jumpers onto the soundcard if this is possible? Otherwise (and this is my second question) am I able to use the X-Fi jacks for my headphones and the AC'97 onboard sound for my monitor speakers? I remember reading in the past that there can be conflicts from having two different sound devices so I disabled my AC'97 so that I can use the SoundBlaster effecti'vely. Thanks

it is posable to use the case conectores. but not directly. it requires aditional parts.
some were around here i've got a mag that teles ya what parts and were to get them at.
and radioshack does not carry the primary parts so dont bother gooing thir. ill se if i can locate the mag. cause im wantting to use my case front conectors to.
ok i found the mag. this may get expenci've cause u will want to get more than of each part in case u make a mistake.
im not posting the required info here. if u wish to give this a try please email me and i will provide the details then.Message Edited by clamo on 2-0-20060:22 AM

I want to use my computer as speakers for my mp3 without copying all of the music onto the computer. I can get the audio jack working as an input, but how do i get the computer to play that?

I have a macbook pro and want to use it like external speakers. I have the audio imput registering from the audio jack, but cant get it to play anything. any ideas??

Hi,
If your MP3 player is an iPod, iPhone Just plug it into your computer, open iTunesand the devices section you'll see. Select the song you want to listen and ready, use it as your computer speakers

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.

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).

P965 Neo-F audio jacks not working.

I've been having serious issues with the audio jacks on the P965 Neo-F board. I have actually tried two boards, convinced the first board was defective since my speakers worked fine on other computers. On both the current board and the last board, I did a complete clean XP install, formatting my hard drives and installing the latest RealTek HD drivers (5.10.0.5404 dated 4/23/2007, from MSI). The first board never so much as peeped, while the board I have now has made some sounds, although I honestly don't know why. On this board, I had a set of Altic Lansing 2.1 speakers, but because the speakers would pop and make static noises every now and again, generally only if I bumped one of the small stereo speakers or wiggled the cords on the back of it, I thought perhaps the problem was the speakers being old.
On the current board, I tested a monitor that has speakers in it, and there was no sound. RealTek's sound manager, which I have installed, did not recognize that there was anything plugged into the jacks even though I had a line in, microphone, and line out plugged in. When it did recognize the lino out, it also recognized the microphone. However, it only recognized them for no more than a minute. The new speakers (also Altec Lansing 2.1) made one squeak for less than a second; other than that, there has been no sound at all.
I've tried several different RealTek HD drivers from MSI, Microsoft, and RealTek, but none have made any difference. I've enabled and disabled only to re-enable the audio device through BIOS with no success. I've checked the volume, DxDiag, and played music--Winamp and iTunes are both making sound, but no sound is coming out.
I'm pretty much out of ideas here. The only thing I can think to do is get a sound card, but I don't see why I should have to do that when I'm not an audiophile and the board jacks should suit me fine. I am quite at my wit's end with this, and would appreciate any help I can get.

It recognizes that I pluged something into the microphone jack but can't get the microne to work.
This problem usually has to do with the fact that the computer case used, or to be more precise: its front panel audio connectors are not fully Intel HD Audio compliant. Disable the Automatic Front Panel Jack Detection Function in the Realtek HD Audio Manager and retry.
If your mic still does not work as it should, browse through the Realtek Program Folder and look for an executeable file named "miccal.exe". Run it to calibrate your microphone. Also, enable "Microphone boost" in the Mixer-tab of the Realtek configuration program. The top half part of the mixer Tab ("Playback") can be scrolled to the left via <> buttons. Scroll left and localize the input jack your mic is plugged into (example: "Rear Pink In"). Click on the Options button and enable microphone boost.
Quote
When I go into the mixer settings I can't adjust adjust any of the inputs - cd, mic, line etc. Although it shows places for a sliding volume adjusters but doesn't show a slider to be able to adjust the volumes of the inputs.
That is totally normal and not a problem. It is basically a limitation of the Realtek HD Audio Driver in combination with Windows XP. It has nothing to do with the board. Here is an Asus-example:
There is nothing wrong here. If you scroll through that output devices/jacks in the Mixer tab of the Realtek HD Audio Manager, you will find that you can adjust the input/output volume for each audio jack individually. Doesn't make sense to adjust input volume in the output section? Well, ask Realtek which genius designed the interface and ask him personally.

P6N Diamond X-Fi Xtreme, back audio jack not working after windows reinstall

Hi everyone,
I've been having a problem with audio since reinstalling windows. Previously under windows xp sp3 i had no issues but after the most recent reinstall of windows xp, the rear jacks for the audio aren't working despite the front headphones jack working perfectly fine. Since this was only a short term measure, i didn't bother trying to sort it out until now, when I've now installed windows 7 on the computer and the issue still exists.
I'm using the latest driver available on the msi website http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=driver&maincat_no=1&prod_no=1168 and I have also tried using the audio driver patch available on the same page.
The fact that there were no problems before a recent windows reinstall and that the issue is mentioned on the driver download page makes me think the problem is with the drivers and not with the hardware.
I searched through the forums and while a fair few people seem to be having the same issue or similar issues with audio jacks not functioning properly, i couldn't find a relevant solution for me.
Cheers,
Dave

Yep that sounds exactly like my problem. The issue lies with the on board soundcard and their vista drivers. Creatives' vista drivers are notoriously bad. This coupled with the fact their drivers won't even INSTALL on a p6n board because their drivers do not detect the onboard soundcard adds to the problem. As far as I see it there are two ways to solve this issue:
1.) Buy a front audio panel addition to your case.
I am not sure on your setup but here is one with HD audio support: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813999356
And that will fix your back panel port, and give you the option to use the front as well.
2.) Buy a new soundcard.
This is what I did after learning that the onboard x-fi isn't even a real x-fi card. I opted to buy the X-Fi gamer (cheapest of the X-Fi cards) and so far the drivers have been acceptable in vista. My non-hd front ports work, as well as my back port.
Another alternative would be to wait for MSI to release an update to the creative drivers that they provide. No guarantee on that though.

Intel HD Audio Jack Detection

I have recently got a new computer case with Intel HD Audio so I can plug my headphones in, and not have the sound playing in the back, but I'm having a issue with ALSA cancelling the back audio, not sure if there is a easy fix or not...
Motherboard model is a GIGABYTE EP45T-UD3LR... Intel P45 chipset. Audio Card is a Realtek ALC888 Chipset
All the fixes I have looked at have seemed like to me like they are specific to a laptop, not a general fix.
It's not really that big of a issue if it doesn't work, but it would be nice if I can get it to work.
Any suggestions?

I have to agree but I doubt most people notice. Not a lot a audiophiles anymore. Intel HD specs are typical of a low costs digital to analog converter. You won't find many laptops that spend a lot on sound quality. Although their are a couple PC's that have certified sound with better sound cards. I would think your Macbook like mine has a optical digital connection through the audio jack. If you really want better D/A conversion you could buy a external D/A converter and connect through the optical output. Personally I use a pair of SkullCandy Hesh 2's and find the sound very good. I certainly have heard worse. At least S/N ratio is pretty good. Some laptops I have had in the past really had some nasty background hiss.

EarPods broken audio jack. Will Apple replace them?

I have the new apple ear pods with controller and mic. After about 4 months of heavy use, the audio jack has bent and broken apart. Can I get a replacement? I'm really surprised at this having used and loved apple for years.

Audio Jack in front not working.

Hi, when I bought my HP Pavilion p6823w Desktop PC, from walmart I hooked it up correctly. When I booted for the first time, I got a Blue Screen of Death, and the problem system repair said it was my IPOD cord was plugged into a USB port. Without the IPOD hooked up to it. I couldn't boot up, so I ran the system repair. the reason I didn't take it back to Wal-mart was because it worked fine without the Internet when I booted up again. I also bought a Belkin Wireless N Adapter for my Router. It worked fine with the internet.
Please read the whole thing, because this is all relative to why my audio jack isn't working. Thank you.
Until I started using the internet for long periods of time, I received problems.
For instance, it would disconnect me from the internet without telling me on the bottom side bar, it would tell me it's still working, when I keep getting web pages that are telling me the Internet Server is not found.
Another instance, when playing League of Legends, my latency would go up to 10,000. This is not normal.
The third instance, it would let me still play the game, but have high latency and lag out eventually.
The fourth instance, I cannot download any files on the computer anymore, even if the internet is connected.
The fifth instance, my monitor when it goes to sleep, will only display the background image, without any icons.
This must be a hardware problem, if the monitor won't load the desktop icons or start menu.
To make it work again, I have to turn it off manually with the button, and turn it back on again. And then it works.
I didn't notice this problem till after the 30 days of returning policy to walmart, because I turned off my computer when I was done using it.
The sixth instance, I can disable the network adapter, and re-enable it to make the internet work for a very short period of time, with the same errors of not being able to display web sites.
The seventh instance, I reformatted my computer because I thought it was a virus that norton couldn't find. It still had the same problems, but after the first few days it started up again.
The eighth instance, I received w WinSAT repair, because my game was freezing completely for about one second or two seconds.
The ninth instance, I contacted HP Support VIA Phone, and they could not fix the problem.
I enabled High Performance Power Supply.
I reset the IP Address.
I cleaned my temporary files.
I ran Norton Anti-Virus, found nothing.
I ran Hijack This, a program to see what program files are being used.
I ran HITMAN PRO. Found nothing.
I ran firmware updates for my router, is was up to date.
I changed the settings to WEP after, to see if it was the router.
I checked all my other computers to see if it was the internet, it is not the ISP.
I also changed the network name, so the interference with temporary files, wouldn't interfere.
I used other browsers, and had the same problem.
Some websites would load halfway, and need a refresh.
I have not opened the desktop.
I tried exchanging the Belkin Wireless N Adapter, I had an older one I bought before, and when I plug it in, it doesn't recognize the device.
I re-plugged the new one in the USB port, and it worked for a few minutes before returning to the same errors of Internet Server Not Found.
I am confused, because it's not the Wireless N Adapter. My browser, my ISP, my router, my USB port, because the other's work and so does this one.
My reformat didn't work, and I experience this problem everyday, but now downloading files doesn't work even when all other web pages load. This means, there is something wrong with my hardware. Because the other browsers won't download either.
I'm also using my laptop right now, to make this post, so my internet on all my other computers works fine.
I'm interested if there is a problem with the hardware when I bought the computer, because there is no real fix for this problem. Each time I get on the phone with TECH SUPPORT, they ask if it's working. And sometimes it does, but then after a few hours it goes back to the same errors. I can't keep calling Tech Support, telling them it's not working when it starts working randomly, then going back to the same errors. Please help!
Also, TECH SUPPORT ignored my monitor problem. They didn't say anything about how to fix this problem. I hate having to turn off the monitor and turn it back on because this is a brand new computer. I still have the receipt, warranty and I'm tired of explaining the problem to different people from TECH SUPPORT.
Also, my audio jack in the front doesn't work.

Hi,
Did you burn a set of the HP Recovery Disks? You mentioned that the reformat failed. Is that correct? Did you try a full HP Recovery? If not, then backup your data to external media. Boot up to the HP Blue screen and first try diagnostics and see how that goes. If that is successful, then boot again up to the HP blue screen and try Recovery.
If you don't have a set of the HP Recovery Disks and the Recovery process fails from the HP blue screen then you need to order a set of the HP Recovery Disks from HP. HP Recovery Disks.

External Speaker Static: Problem with audio jack?

I don't believe that anyone on the forums had the same question.
I am having trouble with my macbook pro. Whenever I plug in external speakers, I get bad static (very loud, about as loud as the speaker's audio itself). I have tested this on multiple speakers and get the same results on all of them. When used on another computer, the speakers work fine. This suggests that it is something wrong with my audio jack for my mac.
I noticed that the 3.5 mm plug doesn't go all the way into the jack. There is about a millimeter millimeter or two of space This isn't much, but may be resulting in the static. I have tried forcing the plug all the way in, but it still does not go in. Any ideas?
I am trying to avoid having to get a bluetooth speaker or anything wireless.

Headphones don't induce grounding problems like external speakers. I am guessing the external speakers were all amplified speakers, with built-in amps and some sort of mains power supply. Perhaps you also have some peripherals such as a display connected to the Macbook Pro.
Try this: disconnect all peripherals from the MBP (including the Magsafe power plug) except the external speakers and see if you get static. I will also guess that the static is more of a whine/buzz that changes whenever the computer does something different.
If this works, then you have a common ground problem. The cheapest way to solve this is a Radio Shack ground loop isolator on the speaker cable,

Audio jack port not working

i installed windows 8.1 on my laptop HP 655 and i have high definition audio device drivers installed but i cant hear any sound from my headphone or external speakers when i plug the audio jack in its port. but the internal speakers are working well... please help

Dear gbonyo -
I understand that after installing Windows 8.1, your speakers and headphones do not work. Well, that's annoying... I will try to help.
- Before going through these steps, make sure that the speakers and headphones are connected to the correct ports. (I know this sounds silly, but sometimes it happens.)
The first and simplest thing to try is the audio playback troubleshooting tool:
1. With the headphones and speaker plugged in to the laptop, type "troubleshooting" at the Start screen to open the Search charm, and then select Troubleshooting from the search results.
2. Under Hardware and Sound, click Troubleshoot audio playback and then click Next when the Playing Audio window opens.
3. A new window opens. Select the device you would like to troubleshoot. Then click Next and follow the on-screen instructions.
4. If a recommended action displays, select Apply this fix or Skip this step to continue to search for other problems.
If the above does not resolve the problem (and/or it does not find your speakers/headphones) it could be that the laptop does not know that it has speakers/headphones attached to it.
1. From the Start screen, type "sound" to open the Search charm, and then select sound from the search results.
2. Click on the Playback tab.
3. Right-click an empty area of the Sound window.
4. Click the check boxes to select Show Disabled Devices and Show Disconnected Devices.
If the device is listed as "Currently unavailable" or "Not plugged in," disconnect it, and
then reconnect it from the port.
5. Test the device by sending a signal from the sound source (For example: Play an mp3 file).
6. Look at the bars next to the device name on the Playback tab:
If the gray bars next to the line-in audio device name change to green, the device is active and an audio signal is passing through the line-in port. The issue should now be resolved.
If the bars remain gray and inactive, the computer is not recognizing a signal. Leave the Playback tab open and proceed to the next step.
7. From the Playback tab of the sound window click the port that you want to use (there could be one or more ports).
8. If the device you want to use contains a small circle with an arrow pointing down, the device is disabled. To enable the device, right-click the device name and select Enable.
9. Click Set Default to make this device the default line-in audio device.
10. Click OK to make the changes.
Please let me know if this resolves the problem. If it doesn't, we can try a couple of other things.
Sincerely,
dhtp

No sound from audio jack and screen doesn't dim, using BootCamp 3.1 in Win7

I'm using BootCamp 3.1 in Windows 7 on a MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2009)
When I plug in headphones I get no output sound; however, I do get sound from the main speakers (regardless of the headphones being connected or not). Side note, there is no red light coming from the audio jack.
Another problem that I'm having: when I try to dim the display, using either F1 or F2, or from the BootCamp Control Panel in the Dim tab, it doesn't dim.
I've saw in Apple's Support Download section that there is "Boot Camp Update for MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2010) (Windows 64 bit)", but as you can see it's "Mid 2010" and not "Mid 2009".
However, for the sake of exhausting everything I can think of before posting here, I tried to download and install it. Only to get an error that states "The patch upgrade cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service because the program to be updated may be missing, or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program. Verify that the program to be updated exists on your computer and that you have the correct update patch."
Any suggestions?
