Problem Solved: Re: Sound doesn't work in Edgy

[Jonathan Byrne]

Problem solved.

Seems on this motherboard (ECS KN1 Lite) you can use rear audio or front 
audio, but not both at once. I'd jumpered front audio to on, then later 
install it in a case without front audio but didn't put the jumpers back.

The manual doesn't make it explicit that only one or the other can be used, 
and this is the first motherboard I've had on which that was the case.

PEBKAC. Move along, move along. Nothing to see here, folks :-)
