X670E Taichi cannot get rear speakers working

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Apparently, for some inexplicable reason, this board does NOT have a rear speaker jack plug on the rear of the MB. Manual say the FRONT mic/headphone port is used for this in a 5.1 speaker configuration (umm thanks for wrecking the ascetics of my build that I have to run a cable from the front of the PC to the back just for speakers, but I digress)

 Anyway. The front, center and subwoofer channels are working fine when testing (windows speaker configuration test, where it sends a tone to each channel) But I have no sound from the rears. This is a new build and the speakers work perfectly on the old rig so it is not a speaker hardware issue. 

I have USB wireless headphones so there is no conflict with any analog cables for that. 

How do I get the rear speakers to work properly with this front mic/headphone port?

TIA
