![]() Sound worked fine in the old motherboard in the same case. But what? I use the same case and PSU as with my old build, an Antec 1040B II with an Antec 400W PSU. Now, this is either some kind of systematic defect or issue with this motherboard or audio chip, or something wrong with the rest of my hardware. I also tried booting on several different 32-bit and 64-bit Linux live cds. There are settings that disables the back panel if the front panel is connected and so forth. I also tried fiddling with every imaginable setting in the Realtek control panel. I also tried both the drivers on ASUS' homepage and also the latest ones from Realteks homepage. In the Realtek control panel, the analog speakers are chosen, not the optical output (Toslink) or the S/PDIF. The Realtek control panel detects the speakers put into this jack just fine. As I wrote in the original post, I am using the ANALOG green minijack on the pack panel. Also, I can choose between HD and AC97, tried both. In all cases, the onboard sound is reported as recognized and working by the OS, but there is NO SOUND from the back panel minijack. The same speakers works fine with other sources via the same minijack. The Realtek Control Panel recognizes which minijack is used, and it asks me if I inserted headphones or speakers (Line Out), I choose Line Out. I tried all the different minijacks on the backpanel. I tried booting on several Linux live cds, both 32-bit and 64-bit. I tried installing a 32-bit OS, Windows XP. I tried just using the original Microsoft HD Audio driver that Windows defaults to. I tried the newest driver directly from Realteks homepage. I tried fiddling with the Realtek Control Panel, disabling and enabling all sorts of options. I tried installing the latest 64-bit driver from the download page of that particular motherboard. I tried choosing either AC97 or HD in the BIOS. I tried disabling and enabling onboard sound in the BIOS. The onboard sound chip is Realtek ALC892. My case doesn't have a front panel minijack so the front panel connector on the motherboard is not connected to anything. I haven't tried the front panel minijack. Except the onboard sound! No sound, no matter what, at least from the analog lime green minijack on the back panel. I installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit and everything seems to work. I bought ASUS P8H67-M PRO B3 last week, along with a Core i5-2500K, 8GB RAM and a 120GB OCZ Vertex 2 SSD.
