speakers dont work when connected to my computer!!

[computerNewbie]

i recently got a new computer case and installed windows 7. everything is working fine except for my sounds plugs and my LED's (that's going to be another thread). I've had a foxconn a88gmv for a while now (plugging in speakers in the green jack worked before). i have a coolermaster haf x (this is new). i also have all the drivers for the case and motherboard installed, and the speakers work when i plugin my ipod. i also have all the settings correctly setup. the problem is that they don't even appear when i plug them in the motherboard or in the front. could it be that the wires that connect the motherboard to the case a plugged in wrong(if so, then please give me specific instructions on how to plug them in because i've tried before(with the manual) and it still hasn't worked before)?
oh and, right now my sound works through the hdmi cable that connects to my tv.
dont hesitate to ask about more details.
thanks a lot in advance.

computerNewbie,
Welcome to SF. Are you saying that plugging your speakers into the rear mobo output or headphones/speakers into the front causes no sound to emit?

 

[linnemeyerhere]

Did you plug the front panel mic and headphone connection into the audio header on the mobo? In this case the audio jack is plugged into its sound card.

linnemeyerhere,
yes im saying that. and yes i'm pretty sure i did unless the the foxconn manual lied to me

Here's the same to a new mobo header.

First Things First

Type "sound" into your start search box. (no quotes) select sound from the results and check to see if your speakers are the default deivice.

shud i plug it into f_audio? and shud i plug in the ac'97 or hd audio?

 

[computerNewbie]

hammerhead,
THE SPeakers dont even appear on the sound panel.

 

[linnemeyerhere]

Is the sound on board the mobo, or is it via a sound card? could you take some detailed pictures and post your system spec's you can use a free great program like ....Speccy @ Speccy - System Information - Free Download.

This info helps a lot!

 

[computerNewbie]

Don't worry about the AC-3 I would use the hd-audio

pictures are on their way

It almost sounds like the audio drivers aren't being found. You may want to grab the mobo drivers disk and re-load the audio driver. I think though it's a connection issue.

 

[linnemeyerhere]

Audio is on the board so if no sound off the rear green output then the drivers need to re-installed which is odd but weirder things can happen and lets not go there ! lol

Go to your motherboard manufacturer's support website and download all of the required drivers. Install them.

Don't worry about the front panel audio at this point. Let's concentrate on getting the rear onboard audio working.

i have downloaded all the drivers of the disc and it still wont work

this is what i plug into where

 

[HammerHead]

Mother Board??

Tell us what mother board you have.

Check your device manager and see if the drivers are loaded for sound and video controllers.

 

[computerNewbie]

i have a foxconn a88gmv and im going to download the Realtek HDA Audio driver. just to be safe

 

[linnemeyerhere]

Yes plug the hd-audio to f-audio header.
Great job with the focal range on your picture !
