Antec 900 – front audio jack issue

January 3rd, 2009 shyam Leave a comment Go to comments

I recently just built a new PC using the Antec 900 gaming case, and a Gigabyte EP45-UD3P motherboard. Audio was configured to utilize HD audio (as opposed to AC 97). After the build was complete, I noticed that the front audio jack on the case was not working. The audio jack on the back of the case works fine. This seems to be a common issue with this case.

Here are the steps I took to get this working properly:

  • Open the Realtek HD Audio Manager, which was probably installed at the same time the motherboard drivers were installed.
  • Navigate to the Audio I/O tab.
  • Click the “Connector Settings” button (a small circular button with a wrench icon).
  • Put a check mark next to the option “Disable front panel jack detection”.

Other than this small issue, the case was a breeze to work with.

Here are some pictures from the building process:
