Anything special needed to get the P35-DS3R front audio working?
Hello,
I recently installed a Q6600 on a new P35-DS3R into an Antec Sonata II case. The speaker/mic jacks on the back(mobo) work fine. But the two front audio jacks don't work, which are needed for convenient headphone/mic jack access. I had an ASUS board in the case, the front jacks worked fine. Is there any special setting in the HD audio setup to enable the front jacks? I think detection should be automatic, I should not need to change a setting. Is there any way I can test if the MoBo's pins are working? Thanks, Speedy |

The RET-L and RET-R are not connected, and can be left dangling. You do want to connect MIC, MIC-BIAS, GND, FPOUT-R, FPOUT-L. The first two are for the microphone on the front panel, while the last two are for the headphone jack. The ground signal is common to both jacks. Now, get the PDF version of the manual for the motherboard. In section 5.2.1, is a subsection "Configuring AC'97 Audio". It mentions a Windows dialog with a tick box for "Disable Front Panel Jack Detection". That disables the HDaudio method of jack detection, and should cause the audio chip to switch to impedance sensing. Impedance sensing is how AC'97 codecs would automatically detect the front panel headphone and microphone. So when the "Disable Front Panel Jack Detection" is ticked, your AC'97 front panel wiring should begin to work. HTH, Paul |

The front panel audio cable in the Sonata II has an AC'97 and an HD plug. I had the AC'97 end attached to the mobo, even though I had HD enabled. I put the HD plug on the mobo, all is good. Thanks again Speedy |
