I have a motherboard with ALC887 onboard audio chipset. If I plug headphones into the USB, it has a little bit of static at high volumes but nothing major. If i plug into analog, the audio does not work and I just hear what sounds like fans and crackling but no audio that's actually playing through the computer. I have tried removing my GPU and all PCI cards from the computer, same thing happens. I am using an HDMI connection but even with other connection types or no monitor connection, the same thing happens. Sound drivers are up to date, as per my motherboard's website (It's a gigabye z97-hd3p). I have also tried with no USB devices plugged in and the ethernet cord unplugged. I have also used multiple headphones (Logitech g430 and bose qc15).
update: it is NOT just the front panel. Maybe I should have made that more clear. Analog on mobo does not work either.
Is there a fix for this or is my motherboard defective? Would a sound card fix this (I've considered buying one before I had any problems)?
