Question after upgrading pc audio doesnt work

[kudiowow]

so after i upgraded my pc (ram) my audio just stopped working, i checked in the audio manager and it says my headphones arent plugged into the front jack, i also checked device manager and i dont see an audio driver

reinstall the driver
in device manager, are you looking at "sound, video and game controllers"

 

[kudiowow]

the audio driver shows up but my headphones dont show up at all on the sound control pannel

test the headphone on the back?
you might have loosen the front panel connection to the motherboard?

You might have disconnected the audio jack in the motherboard.
