    I've got an ASUS A7N8X with the builtin AC97 Sound. The board has a set of front panel connectors that I have connected to the front panel audio connectors on my Sonata case. The problem is: I don't get any sound from the front panel connector. I read the manual and can't find anything regarding activating the FP. I've even tried disconnecting the stuff connected to the rear panel.

    What's the trick? I feel a little dumb here.
    How hard can this be?

    I have a similar setup to you - A7N8X-E deluxe in a Sonata case, although I don't use the front audio - respectfully suggest you check that the front panel connectors are on the correct pins - I remember the fiddle to get the front USB ports connected!

    Don't know that board in particular but a lot of front panel audio setups from the motherboard not only have headers for connectors, but a grouping of pins and jumpers that have to be set correctly to get the right signal sent to those headers. usually about 5-6 jumpers on a cluster of pins. Your magnifying glass will give you a clue but don't even think about changing them without a manual or spec sheet.

    ;)
