Audio problems, any help welcome!

Hey all, trying to figure out a solution to my sound problem, I'm not a very good computer guy so any help is welcome!

The front headphone jack of my PC is broken, so I've been trying to come up with a work around so I can hopefully get sound again. I tried a USB to audio jack converter and it was not working. I unfortunately do not have speakers available to me, only headphones, and am working out of the back panel on my PC. Is there a cable (Or something else) that can convert the speaker output to an output that is compatible with headphones?

Any help/advice for workarounds to this is welcome, thank you.

Well ,the speaker to headphone can be changed by changing it in the realtek audio center.

I apologize, I don't understand what you are trying to tell me to do. Can I change the output from my computer from analog to what the headphone can pick up? What about the sound am I changing in the audio manager?

If you plug in your headphone to the green audio port it should be set to what you need. Also most computers when plugged in, asks you what type of signal you need all you do is select headphone out.

If I plug in my headphones to line out and it does not change the output type automatically or ask what output I would like to set it to, is there a way to change it off of analog manually? This is how my Audio Manager looks with headphones plugged in, not hearing anything.

Down in the bottom right of your screen, there is a speaker icon.

If you left click on it, it lists your active output device and shows your volume level.

If you click the arrow in the top right corner of this pop up, it will list all active outputs (active = have something connected).

If you click one of these it will change your output. If your headphones are plugged in and your headphone port is working correctly, there should be an option called headphones.
