Sorry for the delay.
Yes, I have tried plugging both my mic and speaker in all three
By plugging in my mic into speaker, it also shows as plugged.
So my mic is ok and not the problem.
At this point, I suspect that this motherboard is also defective.
This one was not my first choice, that one was defective.
What a crappy two weeks for parts!
it's possible the makers of the motherboard didn't wire up the jack
presence detection circuitry for all the pins/jacks. in that case,
though, they're supposed to have the BIOS set the presence detect
override bit for those pins in the codec descriptor.
this issue is common with the front headphone jack on replacement
motherboards. the front headphone jack isn't on the motherboard
itself, so the board maker has no way of knowing if the jack has
presence detection circuitry.
Well, you are right about front jack sense not working.
I didn't have the front jacks (only speaker and mic) connected until now.
However, I have now discovered that only the front panel mic jack works.
There is a spkr, line-in and mic jack built-in to the motherboard.
Only spkr works as far as I can tell.
I tested with aucat recording and mplayer playing back wav
Front panel mic and spkr, ok
built-in, only spkr works
strange. is there perhaps a switch/jumper on the board or bios option to
choose front or rear audio?
I could find no jumpers or bios options for switching front/rear.
There was a bios setting for legacy setting for front panel connections.
I set this correctly (was wrong) but this had no effect on my rear problems.
