i have a msi-790gx-65 mother board. and i used and recent secondhand case. The problem is i the front headphone slot doesn't work.
also with the usb ports, when i plug in a usb, it shows power, but it doesn't show in windows. (using windows vista).


Is there a particular front panel unit that i need to buy to fix this..

plzz help

If it's onboard Realtek audio, you need to reset the auto-detect for the front-panel jack. Go to the analog output ports tab, right-click on the rear ports and then unselect the auto-detect box. Then try a pair of headphones. If that doesn't work, reselect and try again...

Your board has an excellent manual. The pin cluster for the case connector is marked "JAUD1" and is located in the corner of your board across from the main ports on the backplate. Find the sound case connector and line up the blocked pin and press it on this pin block, and you should get some sound out the front port.

Is your front panel HD-compatible or AC97? You may need to set the correct setting in the bios,

------------------------------ Antec 902--ASUS P5KSE, thermaltake extreme spirit II--FSP 500w--E6750 @ 3.6 Ghz, Zalman CNPS 9500--OCZ reaper HPC 4 Gb @ 1081 mhz--GF 8800GT @ 700,1700,920, Zalman alcu700--WD caviar Green 1TB--Maxtor 160 Gb--BenQ T2200 HD--Benq FP72E--7RC ultimate 64bit

What is the make and model of your case? If its an old Dell, eg, it might have non-standard front panel connectors.

its not a branded case. using a good smps though.. if there is a possibility of the front panel being non compatible. then i am a new front panel set. I have a feeling since this mother board uses some hd audio format..

thx

Im using ASUS Striker II NSE 790i with the included SUPREME FX II sound card, going to ditch the card soon as its crap, any ideas how i would turn the auto detect back on for this as it seems to be dissabled?
