I am having problems getting sound working with the Asus Sabertooth X58 onboard sound which is the Realtek® ALC892 8-Channel High Definition Audio CODEC. There are no conflicts in the device manager so am pretty sure everything is installed correctly. I think the problem is simply with the speaker connections to the back of the motherboard.
I am using the Altec Lansing 251 speakers which can be seen here: http://modtown.co.uk/mt/review2.php?id=alteclansing251
It says to hookup the black to black, green to green and yellow to yellow. Says it is industry standard colors but I have never had such colors on any soundcard so have always had problems hooking up these speakers.
There is no sound when playing mp3's at all but when I run the realtek hd audio manager speaker test I can hear sound coming out of the speakers. I know I have the connections plugged in wrong because when subwoofer is highlighted the sound is coming out of a different speaker. Anyone have any idea where the green black and yellow connections should be plugged in and if so if that will solve the no sound problem with mp3's?
