[SOLVED] M3A78-CM board, onboard sound doesn't work

The Midnighter · 03-30-2009, 05:02 PM

Just as the title says, the onboard sound does not work. I've replaced the board once already and I'm having the exact same issue, the front-panel sound works but the back doesn't.. Could it be an OS thing ???

Have you tried a different set of speakers?

I am using the same set of speakers to listen to it out of the front audio port.

Have you tried the rear connectors with the front ones disconnected from the motherboard?

Weird, I tried that right before you posted it.

This was indeed the solution, thank-you all.
