I recently built a new PC and when i plug my Philips headphones in the front panel the sound is awful but when i plug them in the back they're fine. I tried the front panel with other headphones and they work fine, it's just the Philips ones. What is wrong?

You could get a cord extension but that's not assuring things. You could also have a problem with the front panel motherboard connection. Check the inside an make sure it's nice and snug.

Well, yes. That's why I didn't mention it right away. You don't have to but I would still check. Try re-seating it. That might help.
