917 front audio not connected

[webezs]

Hi there all,
I'm not sure if I should be posting here, or not, but here goes.
I got myself a 2nd hand Motherboard, Hp dc7100 cmt.
I got the computer setup and running, but at the Post, I get, 917 front audio not connected, and after the computer got to the home page, I tried the front speakers, they worked. I restarted the computer, and got the same message.
917 front audio not connected, press F1 to continue. But the sound is there.
Can anybody help me get rid of the, press F1 at Post time, PLEASE.
Thanks for your time,
webezs.

Your front audio connector is not connected properly. This is common when you try to use a proprietary motherboard in a standard case.
