    Front audio jack issue, F_Audio port query


    Hello

    Since I purchased PC few years back, my front audio jack was not working. Today I decided to fix the issue instead of purchasing a new headphone (I'll use mobile headset :P ).

    I'm using Windows 7, my motherboard name is Gigabyte GA MA78gm S2H. When I saw a video in youtube and read mb's matual, I found that there is something called F_Audio. I checked my MB, there was nothing plugged in that port.



    I've four wires coming out from front side i.e HDD led, power led, reset and Speaker. I've connected those wire properly. Which wire should I connect to f_audio ? There is no wire left to connect I think the front jack is not working due to the missing cable. My rear audio jack is working properly.

    Please help

    Thank you

    You should have a cable (or cables) coming from the front panel for audio. One connector will be marked HD Audio (what is needed for current audio systems) and the other is AC97 which is for older audio systems.

    Check around, if you don't see them as they may be stuffed somewhere in the front of the case.

    No other cable is coming from front panel.

    I'll open the front panel and check, will report back.

    I opened the front panel of cabinet, I found that there were two cables (3.5 mm jack) coming out, one had "mic' and other had "Aux" written on it. Plugged the mic and aux in rear jack's mic and speaker respectively. Now audio from front panel is working :)

    Thanks fireberd
