Not sure where to post this but I think this is the right forum. I am running an MSI NEO2 Platinum in an Antec P160 case. When I plug my headphones into the front panel headphone jack, my left and right channels are reversed.

I double checked to make sure I plugged everything in correctly on the mobo. The Antec P160 front panel cables are a bit different...they have a 10-pin plugthat can be used to plug into the mobo header and it only goes in one way (I think it is called Intel Standard interface or something like that - I can't find the book to confirm). The 10-pin plug also breaks out into individual wires for compatibility with mobos that don't have this "standard" jack.

Anyway, I tried manually connecting the wires making sure to reverse the L and R "audio output" (green and orange) wires but then that gives me no sound out of the headphone jack. Not sure what to do now. I remember seeing somewhere where I could "reverse" the L/R channels from some setting in Windows but I can' find it. Maybe it wasn't in windows but in a game...i forget.

In any case, if anyone has any ideas, please let me know. Thanks!
 
I dont have this setup but i can say this. Dont trust the color setup if thats what you using to connect the I/O to the board.

I had a problem with my USB header which on most boards is Blue...the 1394 connector is black. So when i saw that the cables were different I questioned it. Cooler master made the 1394 connector blue. So if i didnt look at the wires, i would of never known.
 
2 different specs for the pin out stuff? Ran into that on some newer case I got. I can't remember the names of the spec, started with an A azerus? So helpful I know hehe. The way you can tell though, your wires from the case are labeled totally different though. Like my case had L Ret and stuff like that. Didn't even remotely match up to the A8N.
 
I got it. I had to reverse 4 pins, not just 2. I got it working now. If anyone needs to know, on my Antec P160, I had to revers the green and orange pins as well as the yellow and blue pins. Thanks guys!
