swapping case

[darkorb]

after swapping cases to the new antec atlas, my integrated audio doesnt work

[markkleb]

did you plug the cable from the mobo to the cdrw?

[darkorb]

from mobo to cdrw? there was never one there.

my sound on the back of the mobo, the greenslot near the pink(microfone) and blue(somethingi dont no)

i still havent plugged the front audio slots to the mobo, cuz i dont no where thye go, but could that be the reasoN?

[markkleb]

There should be a cable from CDRW,CD rom, or DVD to your mobo or if you use a sound card to it. This explanes what it does,

The blue socket is for channel 3 and 4 (back speakers) but some mobos it can be changed to other stuff.

[darkorb]

mine didnt come with a audio slot for cdrw to mobo

that shouldnt have anything to do with it




was i supposed to ground anything? cuz all i plugged in was, the powerbutton, reset button, and i think it was the power led

[markkleb]

next to the jumpers on the back of the HP lightscribe is a slot for the plug, EVERY CD/DVD I have ever seen has one.

[darkorb]

i dont have a connector fot it though, but dude, that wasnt even plugged in in my old case, so that cant be the probnlem

I think he means the onboard audio on the motherboard and not ROM audio that enables him to listen to music CDs on his computer.

Or do you mean the case speaker?

Did you plug the speaker plugs into the output of the onboard audio jacks?

[darkorb]

ya, wouold it matter if the audio ports on the case are plugged into the mobo?

[werty316]

Nope the front "audio ports" are a microphone and headphone jack and you don't need to worry about them if you aren't gonna use them.

[darkorb]

hmmm, so what would the problem be? i guess ill restart/fiddle with it tomorow

[werty316]

Make sure you have the speaker plugs inserted into the right audio jacks on your motherboard's I/O back plate behind your computer. Maybe you put the plugs into an input jack like a microphone jack. This might sound dumb but did you turn your speakers on?

[darkorb]

lol ya, its dark now, i dont wana fiddle with it, ill do it in the morning thanks werty!

[darkorb]

do u guys think i might have damaged the soundboard thing? or shorted it?

Maybe try taking the board out of the case and see if that helps.

[darkorb]

i just plugged the front audio/usb's in, and it works, thx!

Doesn't matter if you select digital audio extraction(way better, just a little CPU use) in the CD-ROM properties window in the device manager.
