Hi there,
I recently bought a new headphone, a Sony MDR-V55. I tried plugging it in the front audio jack of my pc but it didn't work, I just heard a very vague noise. However, it worked perfectly fine in the rear audio jack, and on my phone. I tested an old headset (Steelseries Siberia V2) on the front audio jack and it worked fine, so the front audio jack itself doesn't seem to be the cause of the problem. If I plug in my new Sony headphone in the front jack, I get a notification that it's plugged in, everything should apparently be working, but it doesn't, I can only hear a vague noise. Some help would be appreciated :) Thank you for your time
