My previous post was sent accidentally, without any comment.

If I read it all a-right, you have no proof that either of the two audio
channels is working.


Correct

And that doesn't rule out the possibility that the
connection with the mobo is faulty.


Yes

Added to that, there's no indication from any software (Windows or
otherwise) that the channel is recognised.


That's correct

Ed


So - a faulty front panel?
Basically, I was looking for configuration errors but can't find
anything.
And how can a front panel with only connectors and cables be faulty?

I made send it back to the supplyer for further investigation.

Fokke


Here's a good image of your mobo;

I have a suggestion, but I don't know whether it's stupid, infeasible or
suitably pragmatic.
If you could plug your new front panel audio into the audio that's
proven working, that might be a test for whether the thing is faulty or
not.

Ed


Nice pic, I could have made it myself :-)
I can't plug my front panel into something else, I can only plug it into
my motherboard. That's the default audio device.

Or am I missing something?

The headphone is 35 ohms. Perhaps I can use it as a microphone, to see
what the mic input does.

Headphones are stereo, Microphones are usually mono, putting a mono plug
in stereo socket can cause problems which prevent them making the
correct contact.

https://www.gollihurmusic.com/faq/51...TEREO_TRS.html


Well, that depends.

When plugging a stereo headphone into a mic input, the mic input line is
connected to one of the ear phones. So at least one is connected and
could work as a microphone. And with an impedance of 35 ohms, there is a
chance.

Not so simple.

This is great stuff, Paul. Thanks.
Wasn't aware this could be so complicated.


On the Delock cable, the HDAUDIO-labeled end plugs into the motherboard,
the other end into the tray. That's how the other Delock
picture shows it.

https://s33.postimg.cc/lp7shy9hr/delock_cabling.gif


Correct!


Notice, on the motherboard end, that AGND is tied to PRESENCE#. Delock is
making a point of claiming HDAudio sensing, by doing that. Nobody
has to use PRESENCE# if they don't want to.

The Delock has too many wires into the "2x5 minus 1" for
it to be a five wire, "sense free" HDAUDIO. It's probably
using the resistor sense scheme.


I did not count them, but there were more than five.


https://s33.postimg.cc/wosztmcsf/HDAudio_sensing.gif


Well, ...

I come from an electronics background and this is a long time ago ...
But I understands how it works. At least I will be able to check if the
headphone and mic side switches will be doing their job.


At a minimum, a motherboard that claims to have an
HDAudio header, should be supporting the sense resistor
scheme.

Historically, most trays did not have the side-contact
switch closure feature. This prevented sensing from
working. None of my Antecs have it.

In this case, the *user* must configure the sound
control panel for FP_Audio Headphones

On an Analog Devices codec, those have impedance sensing.
They don't need the side contacts to work. A cheaper
tip/ring/sleeve 1/8" connector can be used on the tray.


BTW, what's an 1/8" connector? I'm familiar with the 2.5, 3.5 and 6,3 mm
jacks.

The codec injects a 25KHz tone into the jack, and does
AC current sensing to detect the presence of a load.
Even a 10K ohm input stereo can be detected this way.
I've tested this, and the duration of the 25KHz signal
is way too long.

On a RealTek code, around page 150 of the spec, they
will admit they don't have impedance sensing (they hide
the admission that far back, in the hope nobody will notice).


OK, that's clever that you found it!

This is not reported prominently in a feature list somewhere.
Analog Devices probably has a patent on their technique,
and of course, no competitor wants to buy a license.

Two recommendations:

1) Use the *RealTek* software, not the Win10 generic driver.


I did

This gives a kooky RealTek control panel. It will
give better control of the hardware. And note that the
software package doesn't do a good job of "exposing"
the control panel.


Well, that's no problem. I can see the panel whenever I want to.

*You* have to figure out the
name of the proper executable file. Good luck Obiwan! :-)

2) Plug headphones into the tray. Perhaps there
is no reaction from the *RealTek* software.


Indeed, no reaction.

Don't panic. Force it to put audio on Port1,
using the provided RealTek GUI.


Don't get it yet, but I'll have a look into it.


Aren't computers fun ?


Yes, they are, Paul.
They keep your mind sharp, as we say in Holland :-)


If I had a dime for every computer industry booboo
like this, the stack of dimes would crush my
computer table.


Yes, they would :-)

HTH,
Paul

enabled.
Driver is correctly installed, when playing a music file there is an

Right-click the speaker icon in the lower right corner, select

click on the "Playback" tab and see if there is a down arrow on the
Headphones icon. If so, right-click it and select "Enable".

Ben

Thanks

But there is no headphone icon. Next to the motherboards sound chip, I
have two soundcards, under which one with multichannel facilities.
Concerning outputs, there are three speaker icons. The Realtek High
Definition Audio is the default playback one. In addition there are
digital outputs and multichannel outputs, but no headphone icon.

Fokke

The headphones are included in the speaker. On this system, the icon is
a speaker, the label is "Speakers/Headhones".


No, not here.

I have a Speakers device, ASUS Xonar DG Audio Device, ready. No
headphones. It's a sound card.


I don't have a sound card.

There is a Speakers device, Realtek High Definition Audio Device,
default device. This is the mobo audio chip. No headphones.


Same chip here.

There is a Speakers device, ESI 1010 Audio, ready. It's a second sound
card, multichannel. No headphones.

Am I missing something?



At this point, I have no idea. All the other advice so far agrees with
my understanding, such as it is. Sorry I can't help further.

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.

Fokke


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.

Fokke

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.

Be careful on the motherboard header. Have the Asus book open because
the pins can be confusing. BEEN THERE DONE THAT !!


The Delock tray cable to the motherboard, has blocking pins
on both ends. This means the cable only fits AAFP, and
only in the correct orientation. (You can't plug the
Delock cable into a USB header for example. Or into
a 2x5 serial port header.)

You could always be "off by one" if the connector
isn't aligned, but the purpose of the blocking pin
is to prevent 180 degree rotation by accident.
Many mis-alignments are also blocked by the blocking
pin. Which I suppose makes it a good thing. If the
blocking pin wasn't there, there would be more
opportunities for "mischief".

Any progress on configuration, or viewing the configuration ?

*******

If the CODEC is RealTek brand, RealTek offers download
pages for their products. One of the few hardware makers
that does a decent job of it. Analog Devices, another maker
of sound chips, doesn't even come close to being as
customer friendly as RealTek.

http://www.realtek.com/downloads/dow...Audio%20Codecs

You might want to stick with the Asus download, if
the CODEC is "special featured" and has any Dolby
capabilities bundled with it. It's unclear how
the licensed status of Dolby on these chips, is
managed. It's not necessarily managed by PNP info.
And I don't know how Realtek authorizes a mobo
to have Dolby support.

If you're only using the CODEC for headphones or
stereo, and don't care about any of the fancy
Dolby features, then you can use any installer
that works in your OS.

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,

Right-click the speaker icon in the lower right corner, select
"Sounds",
click on the "Playback" tab and see if there is a down arrow on the
Headphones icon. If so, right-click it and select "Enable".

Thanks

But there is no headphone icon. Next to the motherboards sound chip, I
have two soundcards, under which one with multichannel facilities.
Concerning outputs, there are three speaker icons. The Realtek High
Definition Audio is the default playback one. In addition there are
digital outputs and multichannel outputs, but no headphone icon.

Check to make sure you have the most recent driver.

Version 6.0.1.8158

Thanks.
I have that driver installed.

Any progress on configuration, or viewing the configuration ?


Yesterday no progress. I will soon start again.

If the CODEC is RealTek brand, RealTek offers download
pages for their products. One of the few hardware makers
that does a decent job of it. Analog Devices, another maker
of sound chips, doesn't even come close to being as
customer friendly as RealTek.

Good link for information!

You might want to stick with the Asus download, if
the CODEC is "special featured" and has any Dolby
capabilities bundled with it. It's unclear how
the licensed status of Dolby on these chips, is
managed. It's not necessarily managed by PNP info.
And I don't know how Realtek authorizes a mobo
to have Dolby support.

If you're only using the CODEC for headphones or
stereo, and don't care about any of the fancy
Dolby features, then you can use any installer
that works in your OS.

I'll stick to the current driver. It's the most recent Realtek driver.
And I use it for stereo and head phones only.

Default No audio output on the front panel

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?

Good news!

First of all, thank you all very much for your help, hints and
suggestions. And thanks, Paul, for the schematic overview.

I checked the cable connections of the front panel and it seemed all
correct, and according to the HD standard. Switches when jacks are
inserted do work, Port1 are connected to the mic input, and port2 are
connected to the head phone output.
Re-installed the driver and re-installed the HD front panel connector on
the motherboard and all of a sudden it works. Very surprised. Will
propabely never know as to why it didn't work earlier.

All the best regards,
Fokke

Sure we will, look here as Chief Dan George explains most computer
