I'm trying to use my headphone on the AC97 front panel jack, but it's not working, suprisingly when i unjack the headphone , a popup states that a jack has been unplugged.. meaning that the front panel should be connected internally.

On the Realtek manager I have clicked on the "AC97 front panel support", but still no dice.

Anyone have the same problem and how to rectify it?

I've got the same problem and I haven't solved it yet. It was workiing but I did a a BIOS update for my Samsung Optical drives, loaded a bunch of codecs (CCCP, realtek lite) and software. After that my front speaker/headphone jack stopped working, rear one is fine. I've tried unistalling codecs/software and reinstalling still no dice. If you come up with a solution it would be most appreciated. If I come up with anything I will post it.

Yes, I am officially a dummy and a tech support guy's worst enemy (this coming from a former tech support guy). On page 81 (second to last page) of the manual. It mentions AC 97 Audio configuration. It says to select the Audio I/O tab and press the tool icon in the Analog area. In the next box, select the disable front panel jack detection check box.

This fixed the problem for me.

The problem I'm having is similar. I'm not getting sound thru the front panel. I'm familiar with the "disable front panel jack detection", however I don't have that option. The only option I have is, "Mute real panel output when front headphone plugged in". I had this problem before and researched and found the answer and thought I would remember the solution. I thought I disabled the equilizer in the "Sound Effects" tab but thats not working. Any ideas?

I am having a similar problem.

I have a Gigabyte 965P-DQ6 v2.0 motherboard. The front panel audio was working fine, until some day it just didn't. I did a bit of research, and I found that I have to disable the 'automatic plug detection' thing, and then things worked, the Front panel audio now had sound. I have the Realtek HD audio, onboard.

now, this is the weird part. for some reason my output gets redirected to the mic as well. and it's way louder if i plug in my headphones/mic (combo set) via the back inputs.

I went through and verified that the front audio panel pins were in fact plugged into the correct pins on the motherboard, i read the manual and tracked each pin. it seems to be correct.

So yeah, it's a bit annoying. anyone find this? I went to Gigabytes site and downloaded and installed just about every driver they had.

thanks.

To - Realtek HD Audie Manager

- Audio On / Off

- Connector Setting

- Select Disable front panel jack detection...

That should do the trick... It worked for me...

Cheers,

That's what I did, but I get a ton of channel "jumping" or w/e it's called... Where people listening to my microphone can hear my speakers across electronics (I don't have speakers, only headphones)

hi.... had the same problem. found the solution on some forum -

Go to realtek manager in control panel. Click on audio i/o tab on the top. click on the setting button next to analog. There, tick "Disable Front Panel Jack Detection". Once you tick on that option, your front jack should start working. Another thing, my computer does not detect the headphone when I plug it in the front jack, it just works.

Hope it helps you as it helped me.
