Optical problem with ASRock Z68 Extreme4 mobo

phillai · 2 Jul 2011 at 21:50

Spent a day building this and everything could not have got better with everything working...
...Except for some strange reason I can't plug my optical cable at the back?

Any advice anyone?

Does your cable have the right size connector?

Have you tried rotating the cable through different orientations, they only fit one way?

You are trying to plug it into the right place?

yeah, ive noticed they only go in one way but it feels mega stiff and it also feels like i would break it if i push it in any harder!

Are you still talking about the audio cable?

I've just tried mine and it goes in quite easily.

It shouldn't require force but only you can judge how hard to push.

This is getting a bit too much like.....

Yay, I just did it. Never pushed an optical cable in so hard in all my life!
I had to wiggle it left and right a touch and it went in.

I think it's just how the mobo is aligned with my fractal case.

Thanks to all those that tried to help me out!
