Front Panel Headphones and Mic not working.

[vindows]

Hey Everyone,

Mobo : ASUS M2N MX SE
Processor : AMD Athlon X2 5200+
OS : Windows XP Professional SP2 x86

My Rear panel Speakers and mic works all fine. I got a new set of headphones(with mic) when i connect it to the front panel they don't work. NO SOUND OUTPUT.

I updated the audio drivers. I tried a few many things but I still can't get them running.
My default Sound Manager is Realtek HD Audio Manager.

Please help me get my Front Panel working. A step-by-step guide would be better.
Thanks.

Sounds like your front panel is not connected to the front panel outputs on either your motherboard or your sound card.

Afraid its a case of referring to your mobo manual and a matter of getting a pair of pliers out and plugging in small finicky wires onto tiny little pins...in the correct order.

My motherboard has the exact same problem. Go into realtek's HD audio manager, click on the small folder icon below 'Device Advanced Settings' and disable 'front panel jack detection'. This is a common problem with motherboards with realteks ALC880 audio codec as far as I know.

Thanks, I have that same problem right now and was google-ing it and found this. Fixed it right up.

I think that my Realtek HD audio manager is different looking though. I think its because Gigabyte (my motherboard manufacturer) changed it all.

I had to go under the Audio I/O tab and click a wrench icon to disable that "front panel jack detection" in a Connector Settings window.

Would most likely be an issue with Ac 97 vs HD Audio (azalia) front jacks.
On most motherboards, you can connect an AC'97 front panel to an HD audio connector but you lose the jack sensing feature.

the realtek software give a hint when you put any jack when you see the hint go change the output as headphone on software , if there is no output that mean headphone problem , and if it is no hint that's mean front panel problem

if u have realtek, then "disable jack sensing when front panel connected" option in the realtek control panel.

I have realtek drivers installed properly. not once not twice i installed and reinstalled them 5 times.
Also tell me how to "disable jack sensing when front panel connected" option in the realtek control panel.
I fixed it. Some setting in BIOS and it worked.
Advanced > Chipset > Front panel > HD to AC97

I don't know how this helped it would be great if u tell me.
But now even my speakers as well as Headphone work simultaneously. I wanted my speakers automatically get muted when headphones plugged in.
