Check the audio panel connectors to the motherboard and see whether any port is loosely connected or disconnected or not.

Check if front audio is enabled in software audio controls.

What motherboard is it? I had the same problem before with an Asus MoBo(don't remember the model). I cracked my brain literally to get it working. Then it was the vendor's turn. We tried audio drivers, different ports, different headphones, it just wouldn't work. The vendor was a tech enthusiast, so he took it as a challenge to get it working. They usually dismiss such complaints by asking the user to use the back panel instead.

Finally he sent the MoBo to R***i Perepherals and got me a slightly upgraded MoBo and then it worked. Its an Asus P5QL Pro if I remember correctly. I spent hours to get it work. I strongly recommend you to ask them to check the Motherboard, or you will waste time and energy in vain.

I was told by the vendor that most MoBo manufacturers doesn't give a damn about the front panel, and most often the customer ends up using the back panel.

Not really. Just re-do the internal wiring once.

Try to update your audio driver. I too had the same problem in my pc last time I formatted

Lol. I wasn't sure if I could mention names here! :blink::noob:

Buddy, this is an open forum. You can mention any mane related to respective discussion without any hesitation.

Back on your problem, you may even try to update your audio drivers. Just my 2 cents. :)

ASUS motherboard doesnt support HD AUDIO it has only 1 SLOT for Normal audio ... welll Go to BIOS > ADVANCED > FRONT PANNEL SETTING > SET IT AC97 to HD AUDIO may be this will help in this :/
