Don't know the part number, but it should look like this:


My cable only works with the following Early G5 Front I/O Panel. Make sure yours looks like this before ordering.

Hey guys! I received my cable, and everything seems to work except my headphone jack. I don't think this is a fault of either the front I/O circuit board or the cable. I've heard of a few other people having the same problem. I'm using a Gigabyte X58A-UD3R motherboard and a DSDT with my installation of 10.7.3. Does anyone know how to get the headphone jack working with this motherboard? Is this something that I could achieve through software? Maybe a different audio kext? My motherboard has an ALC889 audio chipset.

Thanks guys!

Eager for this to arrive.  My dining room table has been a mess for far too long now.

Cables arrived but I'm also getting no sound out of the front jack.  Rather desperate since I did no cuts and the audio ports on my back are concealed.  Working on some kext stuff.

Wish you would respond to my PMs Aloha.  

Anyway, so a few posts up I mentioned that I wasn't getting any audio out of my front jack.  I did multiple kext things but still came up empty handed.  What this told me was that it could not be software based.  I followed this thread from tonymac http://www.tonymacx8...hp?f=16&t=26486 and when I installed that kext I was able to see "Headphones" in my system prefs>sound.  

I also found a G5 mod on a blog by celso martinho http://arrifana.org/...osh-2/#comments who made his own front panel cable.  He experienced audio issues as well and when I noticed his plug, it looked different than Aloha's.  

Try and stay with me, I'm describing this in layman's terms.  The plug that fits into the motherboard for audio has cables at holes 2,5,9 and 10.  Celso's cable has 2,5,9 but a cable running from 7 TO 10.  

I ordered some wires/connectors from polulu and was able to make this connection myself.  I removed the #10 female cable and replaced it with 2 females ( 7 to 10), installed it and then did the kext modification and BOOM! I now have audio.  

I have a Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 mobo, if that means anything.

This is the photo that I used for reference.  I also did much checking in my gigabyte manual.  Hope this helps.
