Headphones don't work, speakers do.

[Evan_6]

Any speakers plugged into the back of my computer work. However when I plug headphones or speakers into the front, they don't work. I tried installing realtek but that just removed headphones from device manager so I uninstalled it. What can I do so the front aux port works?

Is the front aux port connected to the proper place on the motherboard? You might check your owners' manual for your motherboard and case to be sure.

I'll check that. You don't think this is a problem with any driver's do you? Considering the port in the back works

If the sound works out the back, then drivers should not be an issue. It is most likely a physical fault whereby the jumper from the front ports is not connected to the appropriate header on the motherboard.

After looking through my mother board manual, I found a place where "front panel audio header" is located, but nothing is plugged in to it. All my front panel wires are plugged in together in the bottom right.

Either the jumper you need then is hiding, or is missing.see how much of the case can be disassembled near the front audio ports and confirm.
