If I move the cable around and unplug it and plug it back in a couple times it will play out of both but it's been getting really annoying. I've plugged the port on the motherboard in and out and and it still is messed up. Is there a way to replace the two Jacks in the case? Or do I have to replace the whole the case?

A search off the internet reveals that this is a prebuilt system by Cyberpower and the case they've built the system in is the Coolermaster Elite 431 plus. If you're yet within warranty you could contact Cyberpower and ask if they could send out a replacement front panel module and perhaps also give Coolermaster a knock and see if they would be willing to send out a replacement for your case...?

If you're outside of warranty period then it'd be agood time to look into a new case or if your front panel 5.25" bay areas are open for population you can pick up this front panel header provided your motherboard has an onboard USB 3.0 header. You can take at these as well.

Though, do note that, if your...

Though, do note that, if your system came shipped with Windows 10 and your unit has an onboard Realtek audio solution then it may very well be the OS playing with your audio equipment/drivers/front panel header. You can rule out the OS by going to a previous version of Windows and seeing if the audio is yet acting up, or borrowing a near similar unit from a friend and seeing if the audio is complaint worthy.
