Front Panel Headphones and Mic not working.

Hey Everyone,

Mobo : ASUS M2N MX SE
Processor : AMD Athlon X2 5200+
OS : Windows XP Professional SP2 x86

My Rear panel Speakers and mic works all fine. I got a new set of headphones(with mic) when i connect it to the front panel they don't work. NO SOUND OUTPUT.

I updated the audio drivers. I tried a few many things but I still can't get them running.
My default Sound Manager is Realtek HD Audio Manager.

Please help me get my Front Panel working. A step-by-step guide would be better.
Thanks.

 

Reset sound config to normal windows vista?

I was screwin around with settings to get a guitar to work. and after failing my mic no longer works. the mic itself does work i tried on my laptop. i was wondering if theres a way i can set the windows sound config in control panel to defaults. see if that helps.

Open for other suggestions.

Thanks.

Right now the microphone says "ready" on it. but when i rub it or talk, no movement in the sound bar.

Sounds like your front panel is not connected to the front panel outputs on either your motherboard or your sound card.

Afraid its a case of referring to your mobo manual and a matter of getting a pair of pliers out and plugging in small finicky wires onto tiny little pins...in the correct order.
