Reprise,
dazed and unconfused
check the front connector plugged into audio front connector on motherboard.
When AC97 is connected and Bios says HD-audio, and you have no need for HD-audio (your speakers nor headphones have all its capabilities), you can still switch the connector to match the BIOS setting (to HD-aud)because HD-audio will work with headphones.
(front and back will correctly sense simple stereo, 2.1 sets, 5.1 sets, and more modern will do 7.1 too.)
AC97 connector, will not do 7.1 and 5.1 and 2.1 on headphone, and AC97 cannot handle 7.1 at the back)
HD-audio in Bios will usually correctly do jack-sense
AC97 might.
I hope this made sense. I am NOT called Jack.
