XFI Fatality And Front Audio Ports On C

Hi guys I have a bit of a question about something that has been nagging me for a while.
I have front audio ports on built into my case that I would like to have working. I know that the sound card came with an I/O Dri've with similar ports on it but it is just bugging me knowing that my case has them also and that they are not working. The case has a headphone and mic jack in front, Problem is that I have no idea if I can even hook them up using the sound card.
Has anyone done this? If so can you help me connect my front ports.
Thanks
Any replies would be appreciated

  • Any way to utilize front audio ports on cas

    I picked up the Creative X-Fi XtremeMusic today at a local store since the rest of the hardware will be coming in tommorrow (forgot to order a sound card, hence the reason I bought it at the store). Anyways, the case I ordered has a speaker and mic plug in the front of the case. Is there any way to use these things with the Creative X-Fi XtremeMusic? I switch from my speakers to headphones a lot and really find it annoying crawling behind the computer every time I need to. ;P Front audio ports would make things extremely convinient.
    So, any possiblities with the X-Fi XtremeMusic?
    If that's not possible, could I plug in the headphones to the third output on the card since I'm only running a 4. speaker setup?

    Incase anyone else needs it, here are the pinouts:
    - Analog Ground
    2 - Analog Headphone Out Left
    3 - Audio Backpanel Mute -- short to ground to mute the backpanel (when headphones are plugged in)
    4 - Analog Headphone Out Right
    5 - same as #3
    6 - Mic input from front panel
    7 - key pin (shouldn't be there)
    8 - VREF out -- voltage reference for Mic
    9 - MIC IN MUTE -- ground when mic isn't plugged in, +2VDC when mic is plugged in
    0 - Audio cable detect -- will be ground when headphones are plugged in (not normally used)
    Side view of the card:

  • Front audio port not working please help..

    Hey guys,
    My HP Pavilion DV2275ea front audio jack does not work, I have tried many different headsets as the mic jack works just fine. I have tried reinstalling audio drivers (Conexant High-Definition Audio Chip) and still nothing. I have look at the support advice posted to no avail. Is there anything else i could try?
    A friend said it could be turned off in the bios but i am not able to get in as i don't know the password for the phoenix bios, could this be true?
    Any help will be greatly appreciated

    Well from looking at a jpeg of your board the front usb headers are laid out just like my board. Each set of headers support 2 usb ports each. That gives you the 4 in the rear and 4 for the front.
    Now as to the pinouts, 1+3+5+7+9 is 1 set and 2+4+6+8+10  is the 2nd set, with pins 1 and 2 being the 5V power pins. Pins 7 and 8 are your grounds.  3 and 4 are the usbo- and usb1-. Pins 5 and 6 are usbo+ and usb1+. Pin 9 is the "key" pin and may actually be missing by intention. Key 10 is sometimes called the usboc pin and normally isn't used. On some boards you don't want anything connected to pin 10, even if you have to snip the wire going to it and terminate the end of the wire with insulating tape.
    Your motherboard manual should show you the pin layout.  

  • HP Pavilion A614n Front Audio Port

    Hi, I have an HP Pavilion A614N. I need wiring diagram or connector pin out for the front audio/usb/fire wire port ( part #5784520009 Rev. C ). I need to know what wires in the connectors belong to what.

    hi,
    if you are going to replace the motherboard then no issues on that..
    when you will chk the motherboard you will get the audio port and usb port on it..
    it should be mentioned on it F_audio or USB_1 or USB_2    f_audio for front audio and USB's are for usb port..
    for better help.. chk the front of your audio port and you will see some blank dots on it.. and chk the motherboard  you will also see the same jacks on it..
    hope it will help..
    thx

  • MSI Z77MA-G45 and front audio header

    nice board, nice oc, but the front audio header does not seem to work(rear jacks are fine)
    is there a bios setting i am missing?

    Do the front USB headers work?
    Also try the board out of case and put it on a non-conductive surface. Retry with basic components and see if font audio works if you connect it.

  • X-Fi Fatality and Front Bay Digital

    Right . . Just got my card today and kind of impressed so far. Have come over from an M-Audio Revolution 7. which is a software based card but still fantastic for music and a doddle to set up for digital out. I use a coaxial cable linked to a Denon 3805 amp. Now on this card, using a coaxial cable from the front bay, what speaker configuration should I use because so far I just cannot get music to sound as pure as on the M-Audio and it seems to have something to do with the bass and the Subwoofer, it just doesn't sound quite right. I have run through my amp settings, tried Music Cd's from a standalone CD player etc and the sound is fine.
    Games seem to be ok. Maybe a hint of more detail with this card.
    As I am using an external amp I have switched off all the DSP extras the X-Fi can do so the source is as pure as possible.
    Hope someone else has this kind of setup and can shed some light.
    Thanks in advance

    Yes, that's the card I have.
    And I don't get an option for DDL License Activation in my start menu, but I do have the DDL pack installed and I didn't need to activate it.
    The reason that I asked about a decoding tab is that I've seen screenshots of other X-Fi control panel?tabs and they had a decoding tab.
    Also, Creative support says in my earlier link?I should have a DDL icon in Entertainment Mode, which I don't have?
    Thanks for the reply, I appreaciate it.

  • A55M-P33 Front Audio

    I know there are lots of questions and answers on the front audio ports.   I just want to clarify some stuff.  I have the A55M-P33 motherboard which has the JAUD1 connector.  My case came with the HD and AC97 audio connectors. 
    I currently have the HD option connected to the JAUD1 pins on the motherboard.  If I decide to use that front audio port, is that the correct option to have connected to the motherboard?   
    And on another note, if I decide not to use the front audio ports, then is it okay to just disconnect that from the motherboard?

    HD Audio is correct to have connected! (AC97 is a old type of connector and some cases have that just for if someone uses a old board that uses that)
    If your just going to use the Rear outputs then its ok to not have the front audio plugged in as it will not be in use anyway! 

  • Front audio with PCI sound card?

    Well, the front audio on my Antec P160W worked perfectly with the integrated sound, but I changed to my SoundBlaster Audigy Player because of the HORRIBLE audio quality. Now the front audio ports don't work. What do I need to do to make it work again? I'm not going back to the integrated.
    At first I thought that I had to put the connectors for the front audio on the sound card, but the manual of it doesn't show any of those features.

    I was wondering that myself. The only thing I think you could possibly do is have both the onboard and the pci sound card enabled and use the onboard sound just for the headphones. I have no tried this yet as I do have the cables connected to the mobo but I have the onboard sound disabled.

  • P7N SLi Front Audio Problems

    I'm running Windows 7 x64.
    Installed the latest Realtek driver for ALC888 and strange things now happen to the front audio ports.  The autodetect ports doesn't work.  Even if there is nothing plugged in, Realtek says there is.  I cannot seem to mute the speakers when I plug headphones into the front ports even though I set this in the configuration.  Also, the microphone does not work unless you shout at it in the front port.  It works OK in the rear.
    I tried uninstalling the driver and installing the original one from the disk that came with the motherboard but it made no difference.
    According to Realtek, the drivers should all work in Windows 7.  I don't believe them.
    Any suggestions gratefully accepted.  If it comes to the crunch I guess I'll have to buy a sound card but I hope there is a solution.  I'm fairly sure it's a driver problem.

    No sure how well the driver supports goes for Win7 currently. Do check the pins connection as well.

  • Front audio problem

    I purchased a K7N2 Delta NVIDIA nForce 2 FSB 400 Motherboard, and installed it today.  I have everything working except for the front audio port.  The power supply that I have (ATX) has eight cords for the front audio:
    1 R In
    2 R Out
    3 L In
    4 L Out
    5 Mic-In
    6 Mic-In
    7 Gnd
    8 Gnd
    However, in the manual describing the JAUD1 Front Audio Connector it lists ten (two of which have no pins):
    1 AUD_MIC
    2 AUD_GND
    3 AUD_MIC_BIAS
    4 AUD_VCC
    5 AUD_FPOUT_R
    6 AUD_RET_R
    7 HP_ON (No Pin)
    8 KEY (No Pin)
    9 AUD_FPOUT_L
    10 AUD_RET_L
    So I have two questions:
    1. To which port of the JAUD1 panel of the motherboard am I supposed to connect the above eight plugs? I tried different combos with no success.
    2. After I figure out which plugs to go into where, do I need to dl the Realtex AC97 drivers, or do I only need to do that if I still have problems.
    You guys rock.  Thank you very much for your help.  I look forward to hearing back from you.

    Try this (Case connection -> Mobo connection)
    1 R In -> 5 Aud_FPOut_R
    2 R Out -> 6 Aud_Ret_R
    3 L In -> 9 Aud_FPOut_L
    4 L Out -> 10 Aud_Ret_L
    5 Mic In -> 1 Aud_Mic
    6 Mic In -> 1 Aud Mic - Try this instead of 5 if mic doesn't work
    7 Gnd -> 2 Aud_Gnd
    8 -> 2 Aud_Gnd - Try instead of 7 (or might need to splice them together)
    You might need to swap 1&2, and 3&4, depending on what they class as "In" or "Out"
    There should currently be a jumper on JAUD1 between pins 5&6 and 9&10
    You should get audio out on the rear green socket if there is nothing plugged into the FP socket. (My case doesn't have the switched audio returns from the FP, so I wired it so that the jumpered pins were still connected to each other, as well as to the FP connector.)
    Drivers would probably be a good idea.
    Cheers

  • Connecting SB Live! 5.1 to front audio po

    Hi!
    I have OEM version of SB Li've! 5. that I've bought with Creative Inspire 500 speakers. I also have a case with front audio ports but the problem is that I don't know how to connect soundcard with these ports. I haven't found any info about such possibility in manual but i have only short version of manual 'How to install'. Is there any possibility to connect my SB with the front ports? If there is - how can I do it's
    Regards,
    vacu
    ps.
    sorry for my English, I hope you understand me

    If you can find a 0-pin socket on Li've! card board, then you can connet your card output internally to the case audio/mic ports by following instructions given @ http://audigy2zshowto.blogspot.com/
    NOTE: pin orde may be different on Li've! (instructions are for Audigy 2 Zs, but works well least w/ Audigy 2 card too (I have done this)).

  • Ipod to home stereo with usb audio port only

    I'm trying to connect my ipod to my home stereo but the stereo only has an audio USB port (not RCA L and R audio ports). Is there a cable available that will go from the ipod (or Dock) to a USB audio port?
    Thanks

  • Rear audio port problem

    My front audio port works just find, but the rear seems to be dead. Is this a known problem with the Mac Pro?
    Lee
    Mac Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    I had to take my first Mac Pro back foor a dead rear port. They are really poorly constructed. Even when it works there is a ton of play in the jack. Very typical of PC motherboard mounted audio jacks too. No surprise the Mac Pro shares this problem.
    Any hard yank or pull probably has a good chance of doing damage the way the plug fits in.
    Make sure you have Line Out selected in the sound control panel too.

  • DataSocket, Front panel Port number Change

    how can i change the datasocket port and front panel port?
    메시지가 05-03-2007 01:33 AM에 solsun에 의해 편집되었음

    Hi Solsun,
    I do not know what you mean by front panel port. Also, the port that Datasocket uses cannot be changed, as it will use 3015 per this document, "What Ports Do I Need to Open on My Firewall for National Instruments Software Products?"
    Hope that helps.
