G5 Broken in strange way

[WalnutSpice]

I'm currently setting up a fresh install of OS X leopard on my PowerMac and everything is working fine. But I noticed I have audio coming from both the rear audio out and from the front I/O simultaneously. But to my knowledge this shouldn't be possible do to the way the hardware is set up. Really confusing me a lot. G5 still runs just fine, just that weird audio problem.
PS I got Final Cut running just fine, turned out I just forgot to install the extra packages

Check in Activity Monitor how much CPU Core Audio is using - it should be a fraction of a percent - if it's not, there's problems.
I take it you've checked settings in Audio MIDI Setup?

Yeah, I looked there and it all seemed normal. I'll check Activity Monitor and let you know

Where can I find Coreaudio in Activity Monitor?

In Activity Monitor, select All Processes and then type "Coreaudio" into the search box.

Well, I guess mine is running normally. But its still outputting audio to both places.

How is your audio output listed in your System Preferences/Sound, then Output tab?
Watch for any change on that pane when you plug headphones (or whatever device you use) into the rear audio output, then remove, and plug same device into the front headphone output.

On my MDD I can get sound from both the rear and the front outputs at the same time, two sets of earphones both working at once, unfortunately my G5 Quad is out of service for the moment so I cannot test it for dual sound.

Both my G5 and MDD do this. It is annoying because I often plug in headphones to quietly listen to things, and I have to turn off my speakers every time.

Weird, my MDD doesn't do this.
