I have a Gateway All in One. The mobo fried and after a lot of trouble now I have a Asus mobo installed (M5A88-M). Everything else is working fine, the only 2 things not working are the touch screen and speakers. Touch screen is not a problem as I don't use it, but I want to get the speakers going, as external speakers I don't want.
The issue is with the Gateway wiring. The audio connection in the old mobo was through a 7-1 connector (5 wires going into the connector) and in the new Asus mobo the audio connection is through a 9-1 connector
And interestingly the Gateway touchscreen has a 9-1 connector, so both touch screen and speakers are not working. If nothing comes else comes up, I am willing to cut the wires from the 7-1 audio plug and rewire them into the 9-1 plug (originally meant for touch screen) and then connect it to the Asus mobo 9-1 audio connector. But before that I thought the sane thing would be to ask for help.
OR, there is still 1 USB Connector in the mobo which is vacant, is there a way to move the speakers to that.
