It would be Realtek ALC889 if he is using onboard.

Check the wires. Audio jack on the back of computer maybe loose.

In realtek audio control panel, click the folder icon on the right side panel, uncheck "Jack detection" and restart pc, maybe the front audio ports are short circuiting and triggering the sense channel. Try removing the front panel header from mobo if it does not work.
