audio loss

[coughtryb]

I just bought an ATX case from Aspire and a 480 watt power supply. After I transfer all hardware over to the new case I have no audio at all. If I put everything back in the old case then audio is normal. What could cause this? It is all the same hardware (same PS and everything), the ONLY difference is that the new case's fans glow blue as does the face plate. Why would audio work in one case and not another?

I have an Intel D865GLC board; P4; Colorsic 480 watt PS

Your advice is much much appreciated!!

Does your audio chip have a jumper somehwere that switches between rear output and front/top output? Some cases have front and top audio ports, and the jumper sometimes is set to use these instead of the standard rear connectors. Does your old case or new case have alternate audio ports?

EDIT: Here's a helpful link. http://www.intel.com/design/motherbd/lc/lc_confg.htm

Do you use onboard sound, or do you have a sound card?

I'll look into the jumpers, see what I find, and I'll get back to you.

It is standard onboard sound.

THanks!!

That did it! The old case had audio in / out jacks in front, the new one does not. Once I put the jumper in the correct spot audio was routed to the rear jacks.

THANK YOU!!!!
