[SOLVED] Front & back audio output jacks malfunction

[Reevery]

After moving my desktop machine, I haven't been able to get sound on my headphones using either the front or back audio jack. It appears as connected in the Realtek HD Audio Manager but I all that comes through are some faint snaps/crackles. This issue has persisted for over a week now. I've confirmed the headphones work on other devices of course. There also doesn't seem to be any loose cabling on the board from what I can tell, though the back panel is mounted directly on anyways. Thanks for taking the time to read this. Any ideas?

You could try system restore to an earlier point in time when it worked.
