IMHO, this is poor customer support. User Handbooks/Manuals should be easily available. Unfortunately, it appears the audio capabilities of the motherboard far exceed that of the case and I can't quite figure out if it can be made to work. I know you prefer not to spend any money on a fix, but in the end, you may have to buy a PCI audio card. Pretty sure $10 would do it, assuming your folks aren't insisting on 6.1 Dolby Sound Surround with a sub-base woofer. From the pin outs provided, I think the motherboard has front and rear stereo speaker outputs. If you just want the PC speaker working, get it's red wire connected to Port1L/Port1R/Port2L or Port2R (your choice, any should work). You might have to select in Windows Control Panel audio section which line you are using. Good luck.
