New mobo, new install, no sound

kylegap · Sep 8, 2012

Hi!

My Motherboard blew up a last week and I replaced it with a new ASUS P5G41T-M LX PLUS. I've installed windows 7 64 bit and everything is fine but the sound...

The Realtek audio Manager tells me there is speakers and Mic plugged in the front panel wich is false... and I get no sound on front or rear plugs. It doesn't detects when I plug in the rear ends.

I've tried uninstalling drivers and reinstall the drivers from ASUS and from realtek. Always the same.

Any ideas why it tells me there is something plugged in front panel but there is nothing plugged there and I get no sound? This is weird...

Thanks|!

Welcome to Seven Forums kylegap. If you disconnect the 10 pin front panel audio connector (lower rear of MB), does the Realtek audio manager still say the front panel ports are in use, or can you now get audio from the rear? A Guy

Yes, the 10 pin front panel audio connector (lower rear of MB) is disconnected and still, it tells me there is speakers and a mic plugged in front and I can't get sound. Even if I plug somthing on the back, it's not detected at all and no sound... any idea?

See if the suggestion/settings pictured in Cata's posts in this thread have any effect.

I'm afraid I don't have the Realtek audio manager myself. A Guy

Yeah, I've already seen that thread and tried everything there... but that guy is getting sound, which I'm not... Mine doesn't detects anything when I plug. It always tells me there is a MIC and Speakers on the front panel and that there is nothing plugged in the back... even though I'm plugging it.

I've just tried a fresh install on another hard drive and tried the sound in the first round but still doing the same thing.

So, I'm getting to the point I think there is a hardware problem... sucks cause it's brand new... :cry:

Trying to get some more eyes on this thread, see if others have ideas for you

Thanks A Guy. I've filled the help form from ASUS website as well.

It simply doesn't detects my speakers, mic or headphones when I plug them.

It tells me that there is something plugged on front panel only when I configure the AC97 on the front panel in the Realtek Audio Manager...

In the meantime, fill in your system specs will help anyone trying to help

A Guy, thanks it's done.

I've just realized that my problem is really that nothing's detected when I plug mic, speakers or headphones.... I've tried the troubleshooter in windows and it tells me my speakers are not plugged in...!?!?

Try connecting the HD Audio cable for the front panel.

Go to Control Panel Sounds and make sure Realtek HD Audio is set as the default sound device.

In the Realtek Manager, try changing the settings in the snip around and see if there is any change. Click the folder icon to access this.

Another thing to try:

Go into your system's BIOS settings and check the settings for the on-board audio. (Usually on the Advanced Tab under "Onboard Devices Configuration"

Sometimes there is a setting for "Front Panel Type". You want to be sure that is set to "HD Audio"

If all setting look normal, you might try setting "High Definition Audio to Disabled, then restart the computer (Save&Exit) and let it start all the way into Windows, then restart, go back into Bios, Enable HD Audio, and restart again (Save&Exit).
See if that activates the on board sound chip.

Hi Britton30,

I've tried this once again and it doesn't make a change. I've gone into the BIOS and put the front panel to AC 97 then there is no little folder in Realtek Audio Manager...

I've put it back to HD AUDIO for front panel and when I go to the Realtek Audio Manager, I can only configure the Digital Output, there is no other devices detected...

The front panel type is set to HD Audio and I don,t have the option "High Definition Audio" in my bios that I could disable...

I'd be surprised if there was not a setting for the on board sound chip somewhere. Each system's BIOS settings are a little different, so you may need to poke around a little to find it.

It's a long shot anyway, it could just be a faulty chip or board.

Britton30 · Sep 9, 2012

Please post a snip of your Realtek Manager.

Do you have an add on Audio card? IF not there will be a setting in BIOS for it.

Yes there is an option to enable or disable the onboard audio card, but no option to disable the hd... this should be the misunderstanding.

Here is a snapshot of my realtek audio manage... sorry it's in french. Maybe that's the problem? haha!

That's what I'm thinking about... it should have sound right off the first installation. I never had that problem ever...

You do have the folder icon and I pointed out in my snip, red rectangle around it.

Yeah you are right... but when I configure the front panel to AC 97 in the BIOS, there is no folder. That's what I wrote on the other post... maybe I wasn't too clear about it. I tried every single and other options in the Realtek AUdio Manager and the thing is that it still doesn't detect any speakers, headphones or mics when I plug them in.

Britton30 · Sep 9, 2012

Do you have the option to change to HD audio in BIOS? Odd you Manager window has only one tab too.

New mobo, new install, no sound
