Hello mates..
I've recently build a new PC for my self. Config is as follows...

Intel i5 3450
Intel DH77EB Mobo
Corsair Value Select 4GB*2
MSI R6770 1GB
WD Caviar Blue 500GB
Windows 7 64-Bit
CM Elite 311

The Problem is my Headphones are detected as Speakers instead in the Realtek Audio Manager and Windows. Also i get very low volumes whenever i watch movies or play games even when i crank up the volume meter to full. I cant also make Skype and VOIP calls cuz i can barely hear what the other party is saying. I've plugged the headphones in the front panel.

Please can you suggest a workaround.

Please find the attached pics. :(
