just put in a new motherboard that allows you to hook up a sound connection in the front panel.
The book has the pins set as
mic2 agrd
micpwr +5va
l out R Bline out R
NC (no pin)
l out L Bline out L
I have them set up as
Red (mic out) Black(aground)
Yellow (Mic In)
Green R out Orange(L in)
white R in purple(L out)
I get sound on just one speaker so far. Where did I go wrong ?
Can anyone help ?
This is the first one I have tried with the connection in the front.
thanks
there was supposed to be spaces in between. It makes it hard to read now.
I might have to repost this cause its hard to read now. let me know what you think
I think it needs to be more clear.....
sorry i had spaces in there and when i submitted the spaces went out I will try again
Im trying to connect the pins on my motherboard (asus a7v8x-x) front panel sound.
The pins on the motherboard are listed as follows...
MIC2 AGND
MICPWR +5va
Line out-r Bline out-r
NC (no pin)
Line out-l Bline out-l
I have set them up as
Red(Mic Out) Black (aground)
no cable Yellow(Mic in)
green(r out) Orange (L in)
no cable (no pin)
white(right in) purple(l out)
there are the color of the cables and the desc on the connectors and the order in which they are connected. Maybe when i submit this again it will be more readable..
thanks
when i submit a reply it takes out the spaces in my message and makes this unreadable.
I will go back to the trial and error method. I shouldn't be that hard. thanks
Charles, I think a scan of both the pinouts on the mainboard as well as the case leads in question would help here, don't ya thinK?https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2006/04/1.gif

No I have never tried chat.
Maybe, Ill scan my manual and send it in. If I scan my manual I can do a cut and past. I would have to have an OCR program read it and transcribe it.
can you send and attachmate with a post?
The cables on the case don't really correspond to the pins on the motherboard.
Ok.
Let me try one last time to see if I can make this readable for all. I have a plug for a microphone and headphone or speaker plug in the front.
My motherboard's manual has the pins for the audio for the front of the case listed as follows.
Mic2___0______0_Aground
Micpwr_0______0_+5va
L out__0______0_Bline out R
NC____0________(no Pin)
L out L_0_____0_Bline out L
0 = the Pin layout
example
0 0
0 0
0 0
0
0 0
Now here is the color of the cable from the case along with the desc on the connectors and how I set them up.
red (mic out) 0____0 black(aground)
no cable____0_____0_yellow(mic in)
green(r out)_0_____0_orange(left in)
NC_________0_______(no pin)
white(Right in)_0___0_purple(left out)
I really makes no sense to me why they have a mic out ? Or a left in and right in going to a speaker out plug. Go figure.
Ok, can anyone understand what I'm try to say or is this just getting a bit too wierd.
Or am I boldly going where no man has gone before.
Yeah Charles, you are boldly going.https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2005/03/1.gif Anywho, the mainboard we can find ourselves, but the case leads seem to be "our" problem, right?. So, what case do you have, and you did get a "lead" diagram, right?
Ok the motherboard is an asus A7V8x-xQuote:

Their was no instructions at all with the case.
They had a small diagram for the assembly on stuck to the case, but that was just for general assembly...
I can't find any info on the web for the case but I might be looking inthe wrong direction....
Ah, then this may be a case for NooNoo.Quote:

Yes,Quote:

Example. lead in for audio out in the front panel and mic out for a mic jack in the front.
I got the USB working in the front no problem but the audio doesn't make sence to me.
Thanks
Alrighty then...lets wait on NooNoo and the others, and give us more info on this case that you have: that brand doesn't ring a bell with me. Where did you get it?Quote:

I could take it back to them and let them finish it up.
Everything is installed fine and working but just lacked the audio in the front panel.
No biggie
I could wait till i get some good speaker for it. I was testing with headphones. I have just come so close to finishing it I have been a little impatient.
Such a little thing when everything works great now.
But if Noo Noo can help that would be great too.
Thanks for the help.
Everyone on this board has been very helpful. Just wanted everyone to know I appreciate the help even when my input may have been a little "spacy"
Thanks again
after doing futher search I have found what is supposed to be connected to what pin on my motherboard.
I searched several forums and it seems that the Asus pin setup is not very clear cause I saw several people with the same mobo.
The pin layout in my case aren't very clear either.
So the problem is now going to be I know what goes with each pin on the motherboard I just don't know how the case has labeled the pins.
For example I see a left in and right in whereas my motherboard just refers to them as output and doesn't mention inputs.
ANyway, I am futher ahead of where I was. I just have to plug in a few wires and see which is which. But I have enought info to figure it out now.
I should be done with this one.
Thanks for the help
... if I say so myself this is all mighty confus-ed to figure out where a few leads go ... I mean how many possibilities can there be ? :eek2:.. apparently enough to be confus-ed ! https://forums.windrivers.com/ http://smiley.onegreatguy.net/graucho.gif
Good luck charles....
Got it going. Seems almost every motherboard and case label the connectors differently. Found some infomation on the web and a chat site or two. Then it still took me two tries. Anyway, all is well I have my USB working and the audio in the front panel.
I don't understand why they can take something simple and make it so hard. There were forums with other people having the same problems. Several had my same board so evidently it could be much clearer.
So, I'm a happy camper till something breaks again.

Mic:
Mic-in
mic-pwr
mic-ground
Audio:
ground
r- out
r-ret
l-out
l-ret
I have two ground plugs but only one ground pin as i can see. Can you explain in what positions i should plug these in?
And i'm also not sure about plugging in the Front panel USB plugs.
