front panel headphone socket is dead
Hi all.
I am brand new to this forum and Windows 7 so please bear with me as at 73 years old I have never been able to learn computer jargon, my computer is a very old self build that I have extensively upgraded and because the case did not have any front ports at all, not even a headphone socket I have just installed a Star Tech 3.5 inch drive bay multi-port panel which I have already got installed on my Windows XP self built PC which works a treat with a similar motherboard.
My problem is that after connecting the HD Audio Socket to the HD Audio plug on the motherboard it is totally dead, the rear audio works fine as does a headphone/mike connected to the front or rear USB.
Can any one help me please and remember to write in plain English and not computer jargon please.
Cheers
