Last night, i don't know how, the 3.5mm audio jack in the front of my Cooler Master Elite 310 cabinet broke down and now whenever i plug in my Intex 2.1 speakers's cable in it, it doesn't work. I showed it to a local computer shop and they said there's nothing they can do and i'll have to change my cabinet or get a 5.1 speakers as my Cabinet has 5.1 audio ports in the back from the motherboard. But i'm gonna purchase a MSI R7770 and XBOX 360 controller for PC so i am out of budget and can't afford a new cabinet or 5.1 speakers. So if anyone has a solution that how i can get audio from my PC, please help me. I'm really in a big trouble.

audio ports in back of mobo can be used for 2.1 as well as 5.1(i am guessing there are 3 inputs).

hi bro you have to insert you speaker pin in green port and check your audio driver and settings.

in control panel open realtek HD audio(or something like that) & in there you should see option after inserting jack to configure as 2.1/5.1 output.
