asus p5kpl-am - Audio issues

[FatRakoon]

I have recently been given a dead PC, so I have found the PSU has killed the Mobo and so couple of replacement bits and I knocked up a Server based on a asus p5kpl-am and an E6300

Now, the PC had a Vista Licence so I chose that. But instead of 64, I have naturally gone with 64Bit.

Ok, I have found a small issue that is not a biggie but certainly irritating.

When you plug in HeadPhones into the front drive bay, there is a tiny, sort of digital/Machine code sound... Like the old 8-bits tape playback.

Its very faint, but it builds up slowly and eventually becomes too much to handle?

Various drivers have done nothign to help, and all the updates are done.

And this doesn't occur on the back ports? Could it be a header pin has come loose or picking up interference?

No, backports are fine

The idea of a pin lose or the header being a bit iffy - yes, I didnt think of this, but the cable is fairly tight, and I have had to move the HD from the front, to the drive-bay..

I will have to check that out later on.

Thanks.
