MSI P6N SLI No front panel audio detected

Hello all,

I recently built a (mostly) new system, including a MSI P6N SLI motherboard.
The case it is currently housed in has a font audio connector for the standard Mic and headphone sockets, yet when plugged into the mob, I get nothing.

Ive updated drivers, reseated the connections, scoured the bios for a fix and falshed the bios to the newest one in search of a fix but still nothing.

It a realtek HD controller. The strange thing is that it immediately finds it if I plug a headphone/mic set into the back panel. just not in the front.

As far as I know, there is nothing physically wrong with the connections, and unless I am mistaken, with this particular connection you cant get it wrong.

it looks like this kinda

and the connector from the case looks like this

oo Im sure you get it by now....


So any ideas?!

thanks!

Fixed!

Just read some very random post about audio connectors and the way that they auto detect, and decided to check the possibility that it was merely a detection problem.

So in HD audio settings, turned off auto detect, told the damn software that there was headphones and a Mic plugged in and hey presto!

All working

I got the same problem, and same type of motherboard, but it wont detect at all.
I try to tell it to detect the front ports, but it's not happening...
