I have a ASUS K8N-VM motherboard it fearures Analog Digital AD1986A High Definition audio. The problem is that the microphone doesn't works when I connect it to the rear port. But when I connect front pannel(AC'97 compliant) audio cable to the board then microphone works from front port but still it doesn't works from rear one. Help me thanx in advance.

May be your rear port is out of order. Microphone is not @ fault. :)

You mean to say that your Mic, Speaker & Woofer is on the same port? :)

try doing this:
go to master volume(speaker icon near clock)
click options and select advanced controls
under the mic slider click advanced. if it has an option 'front panel microphone' selected then de-select it.

Did you try installing latest audio drivers? Maybe it'll help. Also if you have any TV tuner card then update its driver & viewing application.

Well if you find Azilla HD compatible frontpanel do let me know :)

@The Unknown ya the same sound.

@narangz I have got latest drivers and I have no TV Tuner. I am not able to get tha Azaila compatible front pannel in my city so I was asking whether it is available in other cites or not

It works normal in Windows XP x64 Edition.

I have the exact same problem but weirder!

I have the same mobo ... K8N-VM ... with Analog Digital AD1986A High Definition audio but in Windows Vista it thinks that my card gives gives digital output ... But I want it to work the analog way ! As I don't hear any sound currently from it ...

But when I try to install my audio drivers for windows XP ... I get sound from only the front two speakers .... I have a 5.1 speaker setup.

Has anyone found drivers for this card for Vista ?

Your mic won't work in 2.1 mode either .... the .1 is for subwoofer... on which u connect ur microphone ... so to get microphone working on rear port set your audio to 4 channels and then try it.
