Hi, I recently built a pc. My motherboard is the Gigabyte GA Ab350 Gaming 3 ATX motherboard. My back panel audio works, but the front panel doesn't. I just installed the latest audio drivers from gigabyte's website, still nothing. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Well first, the obvious question, have you plugged the cable in from the case to the audio header on the motherboard ?

Thanks to your type of suggestion, I decided to open up the case, and I took out the cable header, and plugged it back in. Interesting thing is, I also have a monitor with built in speakers hooked up. When I remove the audio cable for the monitor, the front panel audio...works. When I plug the speakers back in, front panel doesn't work. I went into playback devices, and found that the speakers were set to default. I of course changed it. It works now! (I actually tried this before opening up the case, and didn't work)

Thanks for the suggestion!
