Front Panel Audio Header
Hi everyone,The front jack on my computer doesn't seem to work. When I plug a headphone into it it doesn't get detected, nothing happens.
If I plug it into the back it works.I've tried looking for a setting in the BIOS, I've checked that the Disable front panel jack detection is unchecked in Realtek HD Audio Manager, I've checked that the connection from the case to the motherboard are correct, I've tried looking in the, I've tried looking on Google, but I still can't seem to fix this problem.I have a with Realtek ALC660 6-Channel Audio. I'm using the driver that came with the Motherboard CD, I think the driver was called Realtek Azalia or something like that.Does anyone know how to fix this problem?Thanks. See if HD Audio is enabled in the BIOS. It maybe on something else.
Or the front audio connection, isnt plugged into an HD Audio header / isnt using an HD connector (It maybe AC97)Yes, the setting for Onboard Audio Device in the Integrated Peripherals section in the BIOS is HDA DEVICE, because the only options are HDA DEVICE or Disabled. I'm not sure if it is plugged into a HD Audio Header or not, in the manual it just says that I have to plug the connections into the FAUDIO (Front Panel Audio header). The manual doesn't say anything about AC97. The BIOS or maybe a link on the motherboard should have a way to select either AC97 or HD audio mode (maybe), if it is different from the case connection it won't work. Some cases have 2 plugs on the cable for this reason so you can select the one you need.The setting you mention sounds like it is just for enabling or disabling the onboard sound and is nothing to do with the audio header.
The website you linked says it's HD compliant so check the specs for your case and see what connection it has, if it's AC97 that's probably the problem.
