Hello everyone.

Here's the thing, I have a front pannel on my case with 2 Usb ports and 1 Microphone / Hearphones jack..

It never worked, I guess the guys at the computer store (who were quite stupid) set it up incorrectly.. So I'm here begging for help, because I don't know what jumpers to connect / where ..

I've searched on Google and I haven't found anything useful ..

Oh by the way, my motherboard is Asus P4S800

Thanks everyone!

u can find much help from the manual of ur motherboard.

i have just set mine up - havent yet been able to check it as have not finished building the PC
i have the ASUS DELUXE P4C800 motheroard so im guessing it is similar.

if you have the manual life will be easier - do you have it/

on the cables it may say one hting but the manual may have other things labelled. a small thing:

1 +d = usb_p6+

1 -d = usb_p6-

1+vcc = usb+6v



2 +d = usb_p5+

2 -d = usb_p5-

2+vcc = usb+5v


one of those (either the left or right) will be written on the cables. and the other may be written in your manual/on your motherboard

this may help - but reall yyou need the manual or a copy of the pages

Wait, I know where to place the jumpers on the motherboard, what I don't know is what to connect on the front pannel ..

they should alreay be connected to yor front panel, the cables already running?
usually they are round and of a light colour (ie: cream)

In the (somewhat unlikely) event you don't already have it, the reader for  PDF documents is available here.

Are the cables from the front panel that go through the back of the PC and should plug into the soundcard

Ok Guys, I realised how dumb I was being and got everything UP and Running, thanks for your help .. Except from the f*cking Microphone IN 
Nothing is recorded when I try to use it on Windows Audio Recorder .. And yes, Microphone 'Mute' check box is unchecked on the Volume Properties ..


Oh and by the way, I'm using the onboard soundcard (5.1 with SoundMax drivers) which means that I have a cable connected from the motherboard itself to the front panel

Yeah, but I have 3 jacks for the 5.1 system on the rear panel and these 2 (Microphone and Earphones) on the front panel, I don't really know if they can manage to work together

I guess that the three on the back are the same as mine.

The two on the front, would work the same as two on the back when something's plugged in, and cut off the ones on the back. When nothing's plugged in, the ones on the back work as normal.*

For example, you can have your speakers plugged in the back, and whenever there's headphones plugged in at the front, the sound comes through the headphones, otherwise they come from the speakers.*

* purely hypothetical and based on abstract reasoning.

Do you actually have a 5.1 surround speaker setup? If you don't then set your SoundMAX Control Panel to stereo speakers or steroe headphones. If you do have a 5.1 surround setup, the only way to get microphone input on you computer is to run the speakers 2.0 channel.
