MSI Z77A-G43 - headphones not detected through front jack

[Stephen Westrip]

Hi,

I built my own PC a couple of years ago with a Fractal Design R3 case and Gigabyte motherboard. The headphones and front jack worked fine. Yesterday I upgraded the motherboard, CPU, RAM etc. but now the headphones are not detected in the front jack. I have double-checked that all the leads are plugged in correctly but still nothing. I have no idea what it could be as I have to assume that the front jacks and headphones (with mic) were working 24 hours ago! My OS is Win 7 64-bit.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Stephen

Not sure exactly what you mean but I am sure that the right connector is plugged into the corresponding port on the mobo. It is clearly labelled and the connector is keyed so I am sure all is good.

The only choice I made was to use the HDA connector rather than the AC97 one.
