Hey everyone, I recently upgraded my motherboard to a Z170X- Gaming 7 Gigabyte board and it comes with a new Sound Blaster Recon3di on board audio card.

I got the pc up and running and was trying to use my headset on the front jacks...

The problem that I am having is I cant get the Front headphone jack to override the rear jack like you would with Realtek HD Audio (from my old board).

I found out how to get the mic to work (by turning the mic on in the Sound Blaster Recon3di settings) but there is nothing in the settings about detecting front audio jack.

Anyone know what might be wrong here?

Yup already had those connected, that is why the mic works on the front jack.

But the headphone jack still does not work.

Did you install the Soundblaster drivers and software and checked the device options?

I installed everything from the disc that came with the motherboard.... I might try uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers...
