I can plug my beats headphones into the back and they work, but when I use the front panel headphone jack they dont work, they dont show up or pop up when plugged in. Theres nothing to do with it in this BIOS in using a Gigabyte GA-F2A88XM-D3H Motherboard, thanks.

Have you connected the front panel audio cables to the FP audio pins on your motherboard.
It may be the case.

In any case if you are using windows 7 and above.
You will have to click on the speaker icon next to you time on windows desktop.

1. Right click on the speaker icon.
2. select the playback devices from the pull down menu.
3. plug the headphones into the front playback 1.5mm jack port on the case.
4.Right click In playback making sure show disabled playback devices check box is ticked, and also disabled devices.
5.You should see a reference to headphones ect.
6 Right click on the headphones ect and select set as default device.
7. When finished, and you wish to use your speakers, set it as the default playback device.

You should if you have your FP audio from the case wired to the mobo now get audio through your headphones from the front audio playback 1.5mm jack input.
