It’s been a big “?” for me of why is it that my front audio I/O panel is not working at all. I’ve been wondering for so many times of what could be the reason for this. I tried all the possible things that I know but nothing happened. I left it as it was for a couple of months ago but this time I was so bothered of how I can fix this one. Good thing that I found the relevant answer over the internet. Immediately, I googled it up with a specification of my motherboard’s name and YES I got a help. It was a simple configuration in the BIOS. An option inside the south bridge chipset configuration must be switched to another one. There I found the front panel support type which in default is set to HD Audio. It must be switched to the AC97 to enable the use of the front panel audio I/O. I made it and it was really working now. I was thankful to the help of the generous guys over that forum which I just forgot the site’s name.
