Hi,
First of all, I'd like to thank you for your time and I really like the NZXT cases. I've just recently purchased the NZXT Guardian case and built a computer and everything is going well except for the front audio (connectors in the front of the case for headphone and microphone). Somehow, when I connect these connectors to my motherboard (NZXT has already sent me an extension cord so that it'll reach the motherboard), the back audio (where my speakers are connected), doesn't work but the front ones do. I hope I am making sense. In other words, I now have my front audio connectors unhooked so that I can use my regular speakers which is connected to the back.
I've noticed that a certain number of "jumpers" need to be attached to the pins of the motherboard in order for the sound in the back to work. I've tried "covering" the holes with the front audio connectors but it seems that there aren't enough. The audio connectors have "Right-Out, Left-Out, Mic-In, Mic-Power, and Ground (x2)" for me to connect while my motherboard has "Mic, Mic Power, AuD_R_Out, N.C., AuD_L_Out, GND, AuD_Vcc, AuD_R_Return, Key, and AuD_L_Return" pins. To enable sound on the back, I've noticed that AuD_R_Out, AuD_R_Return, AuD_L_Out, and AuD_L_Return have to be "covered" with the jumpers. I'm really not sure where to connect what for the pins and connector labels don't correspond with each other.
In addition, it seems like the Guardian picks up both HDD and CD as Hard Drive usage. Do you know the cause of this?
I have the DFI P4M266A-MLV Motherboard.
(I've tried some of the recommended configurations of the front jacks in the other threads in this forum, but the motherboards are different, so it didn't work.)
Thanks so much for you time!
EDIT: It turns out that the front audio doesn't work either after plugging them into the motherboard. So to sum things up, after connecting the front audio to my motherboard, there is NO SOUND available (front and back) whatsoever. However, unplugging the front audio from my motherboard and putting back the "jumpers" where they used be enables the sound from the back.
