| 328769 | 2005-02-27 23:01:00 | Gidday! Have just connected the 2 front usb ports after avoiding it for the last 3 months of having my new case. The rear ones work perfect, but after connecting the front ones today, my headphones (usb) dont receive the sound from my pc ( the sound continues to come out of my pc speakers). However the remote control on head ph. will adjust system volume while plugged in. The headphones do work perfectly in the rear ports. Have tested a game controler in front and it seems fine, but am a bit worried that I may have made a connection boo boo... Running xp home and office 2003 (he he...just kidding about the office part) ;) Thanks for helpin'! |

| 328770 | 2005-02-27 23:24:00 | It sounds like it doesnt work with front USB, unless u have a front sound port, so it disables onboard sound (with a connection, coming from the mobo to a front sound port, if your case has one), which will cut sound going to the pc speakers, you've got. Whats the connection like coming from the front of the case (front USB port/s) to the connection on the mobo?? Is it one block (row of 5/4 pins), or are they separate, so you have to figure out, what connections go where on the mobo connection? |

| 328771 | 2005-02-27 23:53:00 | does sound a little like the connections on the motherboard mayn't be quite wired up correctly - what is the make/ model of mobo ? As Speedy has mentioned what are the connectors like running from the front usb ports - they can be a block already wired to connect direct to the mobo , or often they're individual wires that have to be put on one by one ie a real pain |

| 328772 | 2005-02-28 05:20:00 | Hmmm. I think you want to check very carefully that it is wired up correctly (maybe the ground is wrong or something). Quite possible to kill USB devices if not correct. I've even see people check with a multimeter as the connectors on the wire (or motherbaord) were in fact incorrectly marked by the maker (yes you sometimes can't rely on motherboard markings too). After making sure of that, I'd look for any bios upgrades for the motherbaord. Then I'd try removing the USB Controllers from the Device manager. Updating motherboard drivers is also an option. |
