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 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

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

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)

MOVED: MSI mainboard + front panel audio connection

This topic has been moved to Intel Core Duo and Core 2 Duo based boards.

you might wanna try shorting pin 2 and pin 4 with a jumper. Line L to Port 1 L ; Line R to Port 1 R; so as the EAR.

K9N2G Neo Front panel audio not working

I have plugged in various cases and i/o bays into the audio connector on this mb and NONE of them work. Yes I have tried the "disable detection" option with no luck. I am currently trying to use a silverstone fp32 i/o bay that definately supports hd audio but it still doesn't work. I made no wiring mistake as it was a plug and not seperate wires.

What do I have to do to get front panel audio that was promised with this board?
edit: you know I have NEVER had trouble with AC97 yet I have NEVER gotten HD audio to work properly EVER

It doesn't follow AC97. But it is a Realtec chip, and they often run into problems. For example they'd like their drivers installed while in SafeMode.
Where exactly did the problem come up? Is the HD controller enabled, (BIOS)?
Is this relevant, stolen from the Englizsch only manual:
"When you are playing the first audio source (for example: use Windows Media
Player to play DVD/VCD), the output will be played from the rear panel, which is the
default setting.
Then you must to select the Realtek HD Audio front output from the scroll list
first, and use a different program to play the second audio source (for example: use
Winamp to play MP3 files). You will find that the second audio source (MP3 music) will
come out from the Line-Out audio jack of Front Panel."
Off: Think this is the first time this board come before my eyes in this forum.

Front Panel Audio Issues on both Z97 and X99

Hello,
I am an owner of a Z97 PC Mate and a X99s SLI Plus Mobo.
On both of these mobos, with the latest realtek drivers I cannot get front panel audio working.
I have also tried the MSI drivers for each mobo from the product pages.
I have "Disable front panel jack detection" enabled on both. If I disable this, it shows the jacks not being utilized.
The realtek hd manager shows that both the front panel headphone and mic jack are being utiliized, even with nothing is plugged in and if I have the front panel header disconnected from the mobo. On each model I made sure that HD Audio is enabled in the UEFI.
I feel that since I am having the issue on two seperate products that there is a similar issue between each that I cannot figure out. I do not have this issue on my ASUS Z77 Sabertooth.

Hi
What is the case are you using?
Also are you sure you plug the front audio properly? Or if there are no bent/missing pins? I am on my 3rd MSI board (I switch a lot :D ) but all worked fine with my case.
Try using audio while either board is running on non conductive surface (e.g. wooden table or motherboard box). Might be something shortening the board.
I've tried both boards in all 3 cases I own.

Connecting Front Panel Audio(in Lian-Li PC Ca

I can't seem to find any decent documentation, what i need to do is connect the front panel audio rack that's at the bottom of my case to my audigy 2 ZS(just the regular one, not gamer or any of those). The only two things that need to be connected are the headphone jack and the mic jack. I need to know where i pluge them in though.

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

You have to get the X-Fi I/O Dri've. Unfortunately Creative doesn't sell it anymore themselves. You can find it online, though refurbished.

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.

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

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.

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.
