Sorry for stupidly posting this twice.
I built my system a few months ago, epox 9npa+ Ultra nForce4, everything
went fine. Except I never hooked up any speakers. Now I can't figure out how
to get sound.
I vaguely remember that people were talking about 2 sound driver options,
the Realtec and the nVidia. I think people said the Realtec were better
sound quality, but the nVidia were less processor intensive. It looks like I
installed the nVidia drivers (I can see them as an option to REMOVE, when I
go to add/remove programs).
The only speakers I have are my old ones. Just 2 speakers, not the whole 5
speaker thing. there is one wire that goes from the right speaker to the
computer. Another that goes from the right speaker to the left speaker.
Another that goes from the right speaker to power. How do I plug that into
the board? The wire does not fit into the 6 sound things on the back of the
board (the green, blue, pink, orange, purple, black).
The plug does fit on headphone jack at the front, but I don't get any sound.
I figure that is because the front audio on my computer case is not
connected to the motherboard. But I cannot figure out where the audio wire
from the case is supposed to connect to, on the motherboard!!! The audio
wire has 2 rows of 5 connecters, with the second one blocked out. Anybody
know where this goes to?
The motherboard manual says:
Audio:
Selectable 2, 6 or 8-CH audio from onboard RealTek ALC850 AC¡¦97 v2.3
compliant CODEC.
Support Aux-In, CD-In, S/PDIF-in and S/PDIF-out
Support Front panel audio for Mic-In and stereo Line-out only. (Front panel
Line-out electrically shared with rear panel Line-out)
Support Auto Jack Sensing for fool-proof audio device installation
Support SPDIF Coaxial output.
Support SPDIF Optical output
So it looks like my case audio wire SHOULD connect to something, the one
above that says:
Support Front panel audio for Mic-In and stereo Line-out only. (Front panel
Line-out electrically shared with rear panel Line-out)
Or is there some sort of adapter I need, in order to connect my speakers to
the motherboard? I would connect it to the green connector, is that right?
