Noctis 450 Front Panel Audio

FShiwani · June 19, 2015

Hi,

So I recently got a Noctis 450 for my new build. I installed everything correctly and after installing Windows and Realtek drivers I noticed that the front panel audio jacks aren't working. When I plug my headphones/mic into them, nothing happens. Windows doesn't even recognize that something was plugged in. If I however plug them into the ports on the motherboard itself, it works perfectly. I checked the HD AUDIO cable plugging into the motherboard and it is connected fine, I followed the cable up to the front panel to make sure it wasnt being bent or something, it was fine. Nobody what I do it just doesn't work. I reinstalled drivers and I reinstalled windows several times and it doesn't seem to work. I've seen several threads about front panel audio not working and it being related to drivers but I just can't get it to work. Any suggestions?

are you sure you plugged it into the right pins?

the plug on the motherboard is in the bottom left corner

Flip the hdaudio connector, I screwed it up too in my H440

Yeah.Its in the right connector called ACCP according to the motherboard on the bottom left hand corner. How did you install it wrong? It has one pin missing on one side of it that corresponds to the same pin missing on the motherboard connector. Thats how I installed it.
