I have speakers connected to the 3.5mm jack on the back of the PC like normal. Yet they only activate after plugging in and removing headphones to the front socket. Or listening to the mic output through the speakers in control panel (connected at the back next to speakers) and then tapping on the mic. Yet sometimes the speakers will cut out again randomly and i have to repeat those steps.

AMD phenom II x4 965 @3.42ghz
MCP61M-M3 (V1.0A) motherboard
XFX AMD HD radeon 4890 black edtion 1gb, (Factory O/C @1ghz)
4gb DDR3 RAM
650w OCZtechnology ZS series PSU
1tb SATA HDD
Win7/32bit

Any help is greatly appreciated
