Alright so my problem is that my front panel ”Audio Output” (Which is meant for headphones) is broken! Which means i have to use the back panel ones but they are meant for speakers!! So i am getting sound through the speaker output setting and into my headphones! Which is really annoying since it doesn’t make my headset use it’s full potential! So my question is, is there anything i can do besides repairing the front panel output? Here are some related pictures i took! http://imgur.com/a/cD0zc It’s 3 pictures!! (The Razer Surround Audio Controller has nothing to do with this! I tried to remove it but it doesn’t make a difference)



If some of this doesn’t make sense please tell me and i will try and explain it better! English is not my first language.



Thanks!

Hmm, front panel or rear panel connection shouldn't effect the sound quality of your headphones. They are most likely coming from exact same source point on the motherboard.

BUT, you could simply contact your PC case manufacturer and get a replacement cable for that front panel jack and fix it for a more convenient connection.

If this question is still active, I had a similar issue with my NZXT Source 210 case. The from audio ports would not work. What I did was I just opened up the case and unplugged the HDAUDIO cable from the headers on the motherboard, then just re-plug it into the header and make sure the connection was snug and was the right way. Do this if the problem is still there.
