| 1168926 | 2011-01-11 20:55:00 | Hi all, Just built a new computer. The relevant components are an ASUS m4a87td/usb3 motherboard, an ASUS 6850 gpu, and an AOC 2346Vwh monitor. For some reason when i plug the 3.5mm cable from the monitor audio jack to the rear audio jack on the mobo, i get no sound through the monitor's built-in speakers. all drivers and audio enhancements are installed (VIA audio driver with SRS WOW HD audio wrapper). i have set the speakers to default in the control panel etc, yet nothing seems to work. Currently i have the audio running through the 6850's HDMI, as the the monitor is connected via HDMI anyway. unfortunately, as seems to be the issue for many people, the overall volume through HDMI is very low, and i would much prefer to have it running directly from the audio jack. Any ideas on possible causes? faulty mobo/monitor perhaps? or a settings issue? :help: |

| 1168928 | 2011-01-11 21:00:00 | Try plugging in a set of headphones and see if there's any sound | SP8's (9836) | ||

| 1168930 | 2011-01-11 21:01:00 | If your running windows 7, click on the sound control in the task bar, then click on your device. What jacks does it say it's using? | dpDesignz (15919) | ||

| 1168932 | 2011-01-11 21:04:00 | it says it's using ATI HDMI set to default, but even with the 3.5mm cable plugged in and the speakers set to default instead of HDMI, no sound. if it is the simultaneous HDMI/3.5 conflict, could i connect the monitor to the gpu with a DVI-HDMI adaptor, and then run the audio through 3.5? |

| 1168933 | 2011-01-11 21:08:00 | Since you've just built it, did you install the chipset drivers after installing Win7?? I would check out the forum for it vip.asus.com |

| 1168934 | 2011-01-11 21:34:00 | yep, installed all the relevant chipset drivers on initial installation. i'll test it out with a dvi connection, and headphones when i get home from work, and see if it's a conflict, or if it's something more serious. thanks for the advice. |

| 1168935 | 2011-01-11 21:39:00 | I dont think its a conflict, its by design. You cant listen to both at the same time | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
