Hi, I know this is closed but just in case people like me are still wrestling with this I thought I'd add my solution. I had similar issues with Realtek AC97 soundcard on a Gigabyte GA-7VT600 1394. For a change, none of the advice here helped. However I found that none of the F_Audio jumpers were shorted and I discovered that this means that the sound is routed to the front case jack and my case doesn't have one. So I shorted out jumpers 1 and 3 in the mini-diagram below (one each side of the single pin) and it worked fine.

Sorry about the rubish diagram.
