    Front panel headphone jack problems


    I've seen similar posts regarding this, however none have helped so I'm starting my own one...hopefully someone can help.

    I upgraded from Windows XP to Windows 7 64bit. In XP, I used the front panel headphone jack for hooking up to my TV, or headset. Since I've upgraded, this headphone jack doesn't work. The 'Manage Audio devices' in the control panel shows headphones as not connected in the front jack. The microphone works fine.

    I've tried looking for updated drivers - I have the latest. I tried to switch the BIOS settings from HDaudio to AC97 - doesn't work. I tried to install the Soundmax High Definition Audio utility from my motherboard installation disk, but Windows 7 won't let me run the setup (not compatible with the OS).

    Any advice / help would be appreciated.

    System specs are:

    Motherboard - ASUS P5N32-E SLI PLUS
    Sound - (with the motherboard) Supreme FX Audio
    CPU - Intel Core 2 Duo 6600 2.4 GHz
    Memory - 4 GB
    Video - Geforce 8800 GTS 640MB
    OS - Windows 7 64bit

    Front side audio jack 'not plugged in'


    I have the exact same motherboard : P5N32-E SLI.
    I'm using the soundcard that came with the mobo (supreme fx).
    Just upgraded from 32 bit Vista Home edition to 64 bit Win 7 Professional.
    My front headphone jack has not worked since the upgrade.
    Control Panel identifies the Headphones as 'not plugged in'.

    In a slightly unrelated topic. My xbox 360 is hooked up to the line in port for sound at back of my pc. It was always a bit distorted with Vista (a problem I was too lazy to confront).
    But since the upgrade to Win 7 the distortion has become intolerable.

    Anyone out there who can help?
    cheers.

    Front panel headphone jack problems


    I just installed Windows 7 two day ago and since installing, my headphones pluged into my front panel are not working. I have onboard sound with my Intel DP965Lt board.

    Exactly the same problem here. My motherboard is Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe, and I'm using its own sound chip. The headphones (front panel jack) are reported as "Not plugged in" when they obviously are. Microphone works fine from the front panel, so there shouldn't be any hardware issue.

    It worked perfectly in windows 7 RC which I upgraded from, now using Win 7 Pro 64bit.

    Using the drivers from asus for vista 64bit, the front jack kinda works. I can't see it in the sound devices, but everything that goes to speakers, goes there too. So I prefer to get it working with the drivers from windows update, was great with the RC when you could just select different sound outputs for different programs, if the programs supported that. So I had ventrilo for voice chat from my headphones and everything else from speakers (default).

    That seems to be impossible now. Any help would be greatly appreciated :/

    pcxajb already said in the first post that it didn't help. Tried it myself too and didn't do anything, even when uninstalling + reinstalling the device under windows.
