Solve : Audio Driver Fail?

1.	Solve : Audio Driver Fail?
Answer» I just got a new computer a this morning. I've installed all the drivers from the DISKS, but the one thing on the motherboard disk that wouldn't install was the audio driver (it was just dark and I couldn't click it). I went to the MSI website and downloaded the "Realtek High Definition Audio Driver" for my 870A-G54 motherboard. I restarted my computer but I can only hear sound coming out 1 of the 5 OUTPUT jacks...The back jacks DETECT when something is plugged in, but only the "Line Out" jack actually produces sound. The front jacks (one mic and one headphone) don't even respond when something is plugged in, let alone actually output sound. I've double-checked that all the volumes are on full in both the XP volume control and the Realtek HD Audio Manager program. I didn't put together this MACHINE, I paid one of the technicians at Tiger Direct to do it for me so something like this wouldn't happen Anyway, I really hope I get help soon, I don't want to bring it back to the store and wait for them to fix it...thanks in advance.What's odd is as soon as I made the OP, I plugged in the motherboard cd and the audio driver showed up. Too bad it was the same one I installed previously, and made absolutely no difference.once i had no sound for no reason at all. went to bios and restarted them to DEFAULT and the sound appeared.Congrats on the new computer Any errors in device manager?One exclamation MARK on "SM Bus Controller"...not sure what it is exactly, but it's under "Other Devices".

It's the controller for the system management bus. An SM bus controller error means you need to install the chipset driver. The chipset are a set of microchips on your motherboard that carry information back and forth between all of your system devices and the cpu. If you go here: http://www.msi.com/service/download/driver-2592.html you can download your the latest version of your chipset driver from your motherboard manufacturer. OK, just installed the new driver. No !, ?, or X in the device manager...checking speakers now...the back ones work, the front jacks still don't get detected.I would open it up and make sure they're connected. This is a diagram of your motherboard. This is the connector for the front jacks, labled JAUD1 in the diagram. Notice there is no pin on number 8. You should be able to tell which pin is which by looking for the missing pin no matter which way you have the board oriented.
