Question No front panel audio playing through headphones ?

[Exaed]

Hi, I recently updated my computer's realtek audio drivers for my ASUS B550-A ROG Strix motherboard. After doing this, I was playing around with some settings in the realtek audio console to try to fix a previous issue I had, where the front panel jack was staticky. Now, after restarting my pc, I hear no audio from the front panel at all, and can only use the rear panel which is a bit of an inconvenience. I have sound settings in BIOS enabled, the HD sound connector is plugged in on the motherboard in the bottom left port, so I've tried everything. Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Here are my current realtek audio console settings:

Top of screenshot you've got "Disable front panel jack detection" turned "On".
This needs to be set to "Off"

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, I have tried this before and the issue persisted, could it be a motherboard problem to the front panel HD AUDIO connectors? Thanks

It could be, but I never use the front audio ports on my PC anyway so I'm not best placed to assist you with this.
