Hello!
I'm struggling with "917 Front audio not connected" error after installing X-Fi Gamer sound card. When header connector from front panel is connected to sound card, at boot up this error occurs, giving two options: press F1 to boot or press ESC to enter startup menu. When header connector from front panel is connected directly to motherboard, error does not occur, but obviously line in/out is disabled, because I disabled integrated audio in BIOS. How can I "tell" motherboard to not checking front audio panel connection at boot?
I disabled POST messages and enabled bypassing ESC prompt at startup - still no success.
Thanks in advance for any help.
