Hi Ian:

I have two of the A7V8XLAN boards here. Both are working to the
internal speaker. One system has a new sound card installed.
I never tried the sound ports on either.
Are you sure you have the speaker wire attached to the
motherboard in the correct spot? Have you try turning it around?

Good Luck
