Hi,

I recently built a new PC, but the front panel audio jacks are not working. I currently have a speaker plugged into the rear panel and they are working as intended.
In my BIOS, Onboard HD audio and Front Panel Audio are enabled, and I have the latest audio codec installed from the Realtek website. Furthermore, my front panel (Cooler Master n300 case) is connected to the MOBO (ASRock b85M Pro4) using the HD Audio connector, so it is not an AC 97 problem.
When I open up Realtek HD Audio Manager, it detects something plugged in to the front panel even if nothing is plugged. However, when I use the auto-test feature, sound is played through the rear speakers instead.

Any help on this problem would be appreciated.
