Front Panel Audio Not Working

[jdorenbush]

Enable the audio. Are you using Unity or Gnome? With the audio enabled and earphones plugged in, Preferences/Sound, in the output tab, should offer a "connector" which uses the front jacks.

I'm using Gnome.

I see "Analog Output" and "Analog Headphones". The "Analog Headphones" option provides no sound.

I'm more convinced than ever that it is a cabling problem.

I'm more convinced than ever that it is a cabling problem.

I plugged the connector, which only fits one way, into the "JAUD1" pins on my motherboard.

How this story ends?

I have the same issue here, with same context (Gnome, "Analog Output" and "Analog Headphones" on Sound Preferences: Output...).

How this story ends?

Yea, I've pretty much given up on this. I'm not sure how to resolve the issue.
