For the record, I did the same with an NZXT case, reached out to the company, and they sent me a new front panel module to replace the broken one. Totally free of charge.

Audio jacks are analogue out. Each port is built differently. You could use a usb to headphones adapter.

I would try to treacle the Jack. But could use a small headphone amp with the line out.

Sorry, could you possibly explain what you mean by treacle the jack?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Other audio ports I mean. I can't change any of the other ports in connector retasking using Realtek Audio Console app. Is there some other software I can use to do this?

Also, I've read that I can use Line Out as an alternative to Headphone. But I can't see Line Out here. Can I use any of the other ports as a backup for my headphone jack? What about Front Speaker Out?

Line out should work, but sound issues are often very unique to a single device. I would recommend throwing on some music and then just experimenting with the different jacks you have available until you hear something.

Headphones Out is an amplified signal - it's powering the headphones

Line out is an unamplified signal - it's to connect to an externally powered amplifier

You might be SOL here unfortunately

Could also buy an external headphone amplifier and use the line out. Audiophiles will tell you the onboard amplifier is shit anyways.

Yeah I meant as far as rerouting the signals. A USB headphone adapter is cheap and will get the job done for sure

Think I'm just going to have to do this. Thanks
