Hi all,

This has got nothing to do with Windows 10, but perhaps you may make
me think into the right direction.
This is the case:

Recently purchased a front panel audio connection bay 3,5". The make
is Delock. There are two USB 3.0 connectors and a HD Audio in- and
headphone output. There are no electronic devices in this thing, it
has connectors and cables only. USB cables are connected to USB 3.0
connectors (20-1 pin) on the motherboard, works fine. The audio cable
ia connected to the front panel audio connector (AAFP, 10-1 pins) on
the motherboard.

Motherboard is Asus Prime H270 Pro. System is W10 Pro 64b.
Audio chip is RealTEK ALC 887, default audio output is Realtek High
Definition Audio (on the motherboard). In the BIOS the audio chip is
enabled.
Driver is correctly installed, when playing a music file there is an
audio signal at the rear audio output on the motherboard. But there is
no signal at the audio output of the front panel.
In the Realtek Audio Manager these are ticked: Make front and rear
output devices playback different audio streams simultaneously. And:
HD Audio front panel. This is what the front panel is, no AC97.

So I think there should be a signal on the front panel output, but
there isn't. As the frontpanel contains no electronic devices, chances
are zero this panel is at fault.
But what can it be? Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

Fokke Nauta

You need to find out which audio standard the audio panel is wired for.
Is it wired for HD-audio-compliant pin definition or is it wired for
Legacy AC'97 Compliant definition?

On the panel it says HD audio.
See the specifications:
https://www.delock.com/produkte/674_.../merkmale.html

So it definitely must be HD audio.

Factory default has the motherboard configured to use the
HD-audio-compliant front panel.Â* I'd suggest going into the motherboard
configuration and change it to the AC'97 standard and see if that gets
things working for you.

As it claims to be HD aaudio, I don't think this would make sense.

Since when does anything PC related need to make sense.Â* When two
different companies make the parts anything is possible.Â* I'm just
suggesting trying the opposite setting of what ever the motherboard is
currently set at.Â* If it does not fix things just put it back and boot
again.

I'll give it a try. Change the audio driver setting to AC 97. I'll come
back on this one.

It's not so much the audio driver settings in Windows but rather the
motherboard setting. Those audio pins can be configured two different
ways. Hopefully Pauls suggestions can get you working.

My thought was just the possibility that the Chinese documentation says
one thing but actually means the other. Something I have run into from
time to time. Getting rarer with computer translations and such but
just something easy to rule out with a change to the motherboard
settings and a boot or two.
