Is the USB header plugged in your motherboard? (assuming you are plugged on the front I/O

Have you tried installing the realtek audio drivers?

What headphones are these? If it's usb there is likely a driver you need to download.

Try the back ones on your motherboard. Sometimes the case ones are flakey. I had a cheap CM case that the front panel mic never worked and I didn't want to send it in for that.

Oh wait did you actually have something like a headphone plugged into your front panel yet? It says not plugged in because you don't have a headphone plugged in not because you didn't plug in the HD audio...

I assume the case is defective. So you could either get a y splitter for the back or buy another front panel interface that uses the 5.25" drive.

Do you mean the front analog audio jack? If it's not and never worked, probably the guy who build the PC forgot to plug the HD audio plug to the mainboard. Refer to your mobo's manual.

If it's the case of the HD audio header being not plugged, that's actually the best that could happen, because the solution is very easy, to plug it accordingly.

 

If that's not the case, then it's worse, because that means a bigger possibility of a faulty/defected audio header. The only solution is to get a replacement then. 

 

Worst possibility is defected mobo.
