    Do I use the AC'97, HD or Azalia Audio case plug?

    Hi all. Which of my case plugs do I plug into my motherboard to get the case front panel MIC and HEADSET jacks? The HD AUDIO or AC'97? Both plugs are an exact female match to the motherboard male connector so no help there. My case is a CoolerMaster Stacker 830 and my motherboard is an EVGA...

    Dead motherboard and reusing existing OS image

    Problem solved. After much heartache I discovered the problem and fixed it. The problem was the power supply. Specifically the CPU 8 pin. It's not a modular PSU so I had to buy a new power supply. Thanks all.

    No Audio issue on new ASUS Sabertooth

    Device manager reports all components/drivers recognized and enabled. The thing is is that in Realtek Sound manager "Speakers" shows as "not plugged in" even though it is so the option to make it the default is dimmed out - Sound Manager isn't picking up that the speaker is plugged in. So I...

    I have generic 2 speaker/1 woofer setup. There's just one plug for them and I use the light green audio out jack on the back panel. I also tried the front panel audio out headphone jack.

    No Audio issue on new ASUS Sabertooth

    I completely wiped and reinstalled Windows 8.1 and updated all drivers on every component. I'm trying to exhaust all possibilities before I RMA since this is my only computer and being without it for 2 weeks would be a hardship. But will do that if it is what is eventually needed.

    No Audio issue on new ASUS Sabertooth

    Mine audio also worked for one day then died. I'm using just the light green audio out jack for my generic 2 speaker/1 woofer setup. The front panel jack doesn't work either. I went into sound manager and set the correct defaults and such.

    No Audio issue on new ASUS Sabertooth

    The Realtek Sound Manager shows that no speakers or headset is plugged in even though they are plugged in. The sound was working fine for a day then stopped. I've scoured the web and tried every suggestion I can find to no avail. It seems this is not an uncommon problem with many folks...

    Sony Reports Record Annual Loss

    I often had something of a love/hate relationship with Sony products. They worked well but the premium price and often proprietary formats they foisted upon me to lock me into their products tended to peeve me.
