Here is the pdf for your board, it has instructions. http://www.asrock.com/manual/775Dual-VSTA.pdf (hint: the green plug is for 2 channel audio)I already have the Manual (I referred to it) - the point is I don't understand how what it says relates to the case's connectors.This is not a Gnu/linux or Debian issue.I agree, I wouldn't be on this Newsgroup if I didn't run Debian. It (Debian) is aleady on the Hard drive attached to this Mobo, but if I can't connect the hardware how can I configure Sound (other than getting a Sound card)?.Looking at: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813157092 I only see 6 analog audioports in the rear I/O panel. Is there a confusion between "front" and "rear"?
No, I don't think so, Hugo. I did say there were 6 at the rear.As yet I do not understand all of them but I now have sound to my speakers from one of these.
The case has a panel at the front which gives two more USB connections and a further two audio sockets. These have to be brought into use by connecting to extra pins on the motherboard. I had no problem enabling the extra USB, but I don't understand exactly which of the 9 pins on the board accept the 7 connectors in the cable provided by the case manufacturers. That is the problem I need to solve. I hadn't seen the link you gave before - thanks it is useful, and does point to poor quality of the Manual. John.
