Front/Rear Panel Headphone Jacks Not Working

johnsoner13


I recently got a pair of HD58X jubilee headphones and usually I have my headphones plugged into my blue yeti. But I wanted to see how they sounded directly from my motherboard. When I plugged them into my PC's headphone jacks (tried this with my cloud IIs as well) I just got some kind of high pitched noise/feedback, from the rear panel and front panel jacks. No other sound comes through, when I go into Windows and select something else as the playback device, the sound is still there. When booting up my PC, the sound isn’t present just up until about Windows is loaded and I have to enter my password. 
They both worked fine recently, as I just got my blue yeti only a few weeks ago and had to have my headphones plugged into the rear panel jack which worked fine. But for some reason neither of the jacks are working anymore. Any ideas? I downloaded/updated realtek drivers but to no avail.
I think it’s some kind of interference but nothing has really changed since the jacks used to work. 
Specs: 
b450 tomahawk max
ryzen 5 2600
EVGA 650w supernova g2
NZXT S340
RX 5700 dd ultra

This happens for many people. I can't see what is happening but the dac could have fried or something. Not sure about this
