When AC97 Audio is disabled does soundcard eats power?

[silverkin]

Hello community!

Im worrying because I have broken jack plug there, and tried everything to get it out, but zero effects. Yesterday ordered External soundcard, and today this thing happened. Thats why I am asking if its disabling power supply.

Sorry for my englando

What thing happened? The broken jack plug won't be a problem. Just go to settings and make sure to make default the new card.

The broken jack plug happened.
Wasted like 8 hours trying to removed that from jack, but still 1/3 of jack is there (the part without plastic, only withmetal plug).

I am not using internal soundcard, so having broken audio is not a problem, but i am scared that jack won't make any problems with motherboard or other things because there will be still power in the jack

If you don't use that card and use a different you shouldn't have any problem (electrical or different). But at some point it would be good to remove the broken piece.

Thats why I am asking, because i saw this option in BIOS.

I will be so glad if I could leave this for some weeks, because need PC now, and can't send for repair.

Anyway waiting some time, maybe someone will answer too .

Thanks for answer!

I don't really know what your trying to describe. You list nothing for specifications. If your working with AC'97 Audio, then you must have a very old system or very old case. In 2004, Intel released Intel High Definition Audio (HD Audio) which is a successor that is not backward compatible with AC'97.

Damn, maybe i have wrote the wrong one, because scared about launching PC.

I am trying to get an answer if there is a danger of destroying, breaking motherboard or other item when there is a broke pin in mini jack input.
I have Asrock z77 pro3.

You can disable the motherboard audio in the BIOS. Then you can use your new soundcard.

(page 54 Engish motherboard manual)
Onboard HD Audio
Select [Auto], [Enabled] or [Disabled] for the onboard HD Audio feature. If
you select [Auto], the onboard HD Audio will be disabled when PCI Sound
Card is plugged.
