I honestly could have something not plugged in correctly on the MOBO, but I believe I have everything plugged in correctly. This is my first build. I am looking to get the Sennheiser Game Zero Headset and I know that you want to plug it into a headphone amp, which MSI Gaming 5 has built in. But I tried plugging my Astro A40s in the back of my computer and only the mic port worked, and the sound wasn't. It makes me think that I plugged something in wrong. Just some help on how you set it up on the MOBO and what else I need to do to get it to work. I would prefer to have this figured out before I pay a decent amount of money for a headset that I can't use fully.

Oh and the front ports work great, but the back won't. And honestly, I don't even know if the front ports right now are high def or not lol. Thanks for any help.

Do you know what cables go where? Like JAUD and all that stuff for hooking up the HD Audio. Just to make sure I am right.

There is no green port on the back. Just a mic, line-in, line-out, rs-out, cs-out, and ss-out. I have no idea what any of that means, but I plugged the headphone cable into all of them and they aren't working.
