biostar tforce 6100 am2 micro-atx problem

[Hupo]

Hey guys just build my new pc (micro fly case) and i connected the front audio panel corectly, because it works. but now the rear audio doesnt work when i plug in the audio jack. any reason why?

I guess you have to read the manual and set the jumpers

I think I remember reading in the manual that you can only either use the rear or the front audio jacks... can't use both at the same time.

 

[Hupo]

jumpers confuse me. and that would be really stupid if you cant use both.

 

[endlesszeal]

yup.. i reviewed the manual thoroughly before build and it says u cant use both the front and back at the same time.. i think its like that on most of the systema.. i mean why would you? most front panels only support stereo because its usually for headphone unless its one of those sound cards with front panels (i.e audigy platniums, x-fi).. besides if you have a decent desktop speaker system. it usually has a headphone plug there... sorry if it sounds stupid..

 

[Hupo]

So if i just disconnect the sound from the front (not the usb) the rear would work?

 

[Hupo]

?????

If hooked up properly you should get sound out of front OR rear, but not both at the same time. If you are not getting sound out of the rear and don't have anything plugged into the front, then you don't have the "return" lines hooked up properly. Those "return" lines are what the jumpers on the board connect to. When you hook up front panel ports there should be a return line for each channel (L-R) that you plug in, thus both pins that the jumper used to be on for a particular channel still has something plugged into it.

Well in order for me to plug in the front panel I had to remove 3 jumpers for me to connect the wiring. So iguess I have to put the jumpers back for the rear audio to work?

Look at the wiring coming from the front of the case. There should be either a block or individual pins. If individual pins, then you should have seven total, three for the microphone and four for headphones. Out of those four, there should be RIGHT, RIGHT-RETURN, LEFT, LEFT-RETURN. Here's a 1 minute ASCII ART rendition of your pins

MP..G

M...P

R...RR

RS..B

L...LR

O...O

O...O


O = Optional
RS = reserved (actually not used)
B = blank, no pin
MP = mic power
G = ground
M = mic (second channel for stereo if available)
P = power (5v)

Here's what you're looking for:
R = right
RR = right return
L = left
LR = left return

 

[Hupo]

All my pins are individual.

theres:
l out
r out
l in
r in
mic bias
gnd
and i think theres another

 

[Zap]

Put the two L channels together and the two R channels together.

 

[Hupo]

and leave the jumpers on the rest and I should be ok?

 

[Zap]

Yeah, those ones I listed as O (optional) are for line in.
