Here is a stupid question. I have no sound. I have a Phanteks Enthoo Pro Case. I could not find an audio plug to connect my case to my motherobard. The case does have two different USB connectors. Am I missing something? Am I just not seeing the "Audio" plug?

How do you have your sound hooked up (USB, front panel, motherboard ports, audio port on a monitor)? Have you tried the rear ports directly on the motherboard? You may also have to select the output in Windows, particularly if you have HDMI devices attached (sometimes, they like to steal the audio output since HDMI can carry audio).

As for the case and the front panel audio, there should be a number of connectors for the front panel you'd have to hook up to your motherboard (pic from the case's manual). You should be able to find a 10-pin connector in the bundle going to the front panel - make sure you put it on the motherboard's audio port and not a USB 2.0 port.
