Guest thespin Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 Bring up Realtek's Sound Manager and check that those channels are not muted or turned way down .... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
red930 Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 If that doesn't work, uninstall, then reinstall the audio drivers to see if you get the front channels back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
G2145cal Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 i have even tried an older ghost image restore (back to my RAID0 config), where i know everything worked before i made the backup...i'll try the audio driver uninstall/re-install next Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
G2145cal Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 uninstall and reinstall of new drivers did not work on the realtek sound manager...speaker configuration tab under the phonejack switches...center/sub and rear output have clickable buttons, the front does not, it just says "front speaker out" with the current cable connections, i do not get system sounds...i just played an avi that was probably encoded in 5.1 and i get sound from the working channels... i just tried hooking up a set of small external speakers and i only get sound when i have it configured to 6 channel audio, sound test audio comes from rear output only (blue jack)(tested both front and rear) either RMA or get a pci sound card.....

b-w-d.net Posted January 16, 2006 Posted January 16, 2006 I have had this exact same problem! No idea how to fix it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tikimann Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 I downloaded that update from microsoft update thingy but lost those too. So then i just reverted to the old driver and the sound worked fine. If it isnt' broken, don't work to hard to fix it! Good Luck if reverting to the old driver doesn't work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fulgore2000 Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 I have almost the similar problem. My rear ports do not work but my front ports do. I have contacted DFI and they told me to RMI my board, but I am unable to since I do not have all the original items that came with the board.

red930 Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 Unless DFI has changed their warranty replacement procedure, you don't need to send in all the original items. Just the board itself.

G2145cal Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 my problem turned out to be human error...i had a 6 inch patch cable from tv tuner to sound, got a new tuner and did not need the patch cable, somehow i thought i was pulling the patch cable, but i pulled the speaker cable and every time i look back there, a black cable was plugged in and i could not for the life of me figure out why i got no sound from the specific channel, then one day i actually followed the already plugged cable in and found it's other end not plugged into anything...i felt stupid Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
