Front panel audio does not work.

In the bios, you will need to go to Audio Configuration & enable HD Audio controller page 3- 16 of the manual.
You also need to install Realtek HD Audio drivers. section A2 to A6 of the manual tells you what to install & how to set it up.

When you install the drivers you do need to restart pc afterwards.

The HD audio controller is enabled by default in the bios. What manual are you looking at because I cannot find that?

Thanks.

Manual from MSI.

http://www.msi.com/product/mb/P67A-GD65.html#/?div=Manual

The english version E7681v1.1.zip

Apparently that manual is more detailed than mine! Anyway I downloaded and installed the latest driver and it didn't seem to make a difference.

I then used the mobo driver disc and installed the older driver on that. With some messing around (I don't know if its because of the older driver, or just luck) I have been able to get this:

However it shows sound as playing through the headphone 2nd output but I cannot hear anything.

So confused...

Thanks

i have the same board, the same case and the same way you have it plugged in and it is fine :confused:

wildest_jjk · 11 Oct 2011 at 16:58

Have you just got the HD audio connector plugged into JAUD?

What OS do you have?

Thanks

wildest_jjk · 11 Oct 2011 at 17:38

Still no joy anyway could be a faulty cable I guess?

I really don't know.

stulid · 11 Oct 2011 at 17:43

When you put a the headphone jack in, does a bubble appear in the task bar saying "Headphones detected/plugged in"?

wildest_jjk · 11 Oct 2011 at 17:46

Nope nothing at all, does for the back though.

Predicament · 11 Oct 2011 at 17:48

I had the same issue when I bought my CM69 case. Which audio connector are you using?

wildest_jjk · 11 Oct 2011 at 17:50

At the moment HD audio.

Thanks

Then after exhausting all the other possibilities, whatever is left, no matter how improbable, must be the truth.

wildest_jjk · 11 Oct 2011 at 20:15

So what do I do?

Thanks

stulid · 11 Oct 2011 at 20:21

Either the cable is damaged or the audio jacks on the case are damaged.

wildest_jjk · 11 Oct 2011 at 21:13

Can I get a replacement cable from anywhere?

Thanks

stulid · 11 Oct 2011 at 21:17

edit.

wildest_jjk · 11 Oct 2011 at 21:19

Thanks so much for all the help. That one seems different to what I have though.

stulid · 11 Oct 2011 at 21:21

Have a look through that site, thats the only place I can think off, or send an email?

wildest_jjk · 11 Oct 2011 at 21:35

YESSS

Not to worry stulid, thanks for all your help and everybody elses. Turns out it was a lose connection that I had done on the motherboard. Very tight fitting connector, used some long nosed pliers (which I do not recommend) and forced it in.

It now detects an input and lets me select headphones. I am the happiest person alive

I do feel quite stupid I should also add!

Thanks again everybody!!

So a lose connection on the HD audio connector/cable?
