P4PE - How to switch audio out from front to back connector
Hello,
My computer has the audio jack working from the front connector only. I get no audio from the back connector jack. How can I change this configuration so that I get audio from the rear jack instead of the front jack. I use amplified speakers which have a headset jack already. Running the speaker cable to the front of the computer is a pain. Please help!! Thanks |

Thanks With the case audio cable disconnected and the two jumpers put back on the header, you'll get sound from the rear connector. If your case has an "Intel Compatible" audio cable, both the front and the back will work. Plugging a headset into the front, mutes the rear connector. If you buy an Asus J-Panel, that is a product that sits in a drive bay, and it has an Intel Compatible audio cable as well. In that case you would disconnect the case cable and use the J-Panel instead. In your current situation, you have two options. With the two jumpers missing and your case audio connected, you'll only get audio on the front connector. If you can find a way of doing the same thing the jumpers do, while the case audio cable remains in place, then you can have sound on both front and back simultaneously. This can be done by winding a single strand of copper wire from a power cord, around a pair of pins normally jumpered (you'll need a separate strand for each pair of pins). A second way of doing this, is to solder a jumper wire to the back of the motherboard. You have to be careful when doing this, that you don't come in contact with the +5V pin on the header.

See PDF page 54 of this document: http://www.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/sock...e1110_p4pe.pdf The two blue things on the FP_AUDIO1 header are jumpers. You remove the audio cable from your case and then put the two jumpers back. This will give you audio on the Lime connector on the back of the computer. HTH, Paul |

I found the wires you are referring to. But there are no blue jumpers. Only wires connected to long black plastic connectors that go directly to the pins. So when I pull them out, there is no more sound. I guess I have to go to a computer store and get a couple of those blue jumpers to get the sound to the back panel. Thanks again.. OK - all is well. Installed the jumpers and the sound is where I want it. Thanks for all your help.. |
