Dear ,

I installed cloverALC successfully. I choose output as line out but only blue has signal. yellow for sub and green for font speak dont have signal.

im using MSI H110i pro and realtek 887

toleda commented 7 years ago

MSI H110i has 3 port audio and two audio configurations: a. Audio ID: 1; Blue is Line In, Green is Internal Speakers and Pink is Microphone (In) b. Audio ID: 2; Blue is Line Out (Black), Green is Internal Speakers and Pink is Line Out (Orange) Front panel is the same for both Audio IDs For 5.1, use Audio 2 See https://github.com/toleda/audio_ALC_guides/blob/master/Surround%20Sound.pdf

Dear Toleda,

i setup 5.1 but 2 rear speaker not playing. in windows it works normally. i installed cloveralc and used layout 2. i setup as attachment. please help me. im using MSI H110i pro. the front panel is on mainboard. it is not back panel as normal. so i think it cause by spending 1 for microphone. screen shot 2017-01-03 at 19 03 28 screen shot 2017-01-03 at 19 03 38 screen shot 2017-01-03 at 19 05 08

in windows. has same problem. not rear.

but have found that if i selected "mute the rear output...." i can hear all speaker. capture

Front panel is enabled by a connector on the motherboard. Headphone plugged into front panel mutes green rear and shows as Headphones. In Audio ID: 2, mic plugged into front panel shows as internal microphone, no effect to rear audio connectors. Audio ID 1 and 2 are same for headphones. To prove front panel is working properly, set Audio ID: 1 and test pink and green, both connectors. It is possible MSI switched the nodes for grey and black from the norm.

I do not have font panel. only use rear panel as default.

I read MSI manual for windows to setup 5.1 and 7.1. do you have any solution ?

on Windows, it has an option on Realtek to choose which device input.

on MAC OS we dont have this option and always one port for microphone. that why i cannot listen rear speaker because my mainboard only have 3 ports on rear panel.
