Broken Front Audio Jack

Hello all,

 

Yesterday, I quickly got up from my chair to play with my dog, while doing this i managed to rip my headphones chord out of the front headphone jack on my case, rendering the jack broken. After doing this, I attempted to save the situation by plugging my headphones into my motherboards (listed below) "front speaker jack" as listed in the motherboards manual. This does produce sound but the sound is extremely lacking and doesn't hit everything I would like it to (even listening to a song I can notice a SEVERE decrease in audio quality). I was wondering if there is anything I can do to fix this problem, or would i have to purchase extra hardware?

 

- AsRock Extreme3 970 Motherboard

- Thermaltake Chaser a31 case

- sennheiser hd 598 headphones

 

Thanks guys!

I think you're imagining things, because the audio from your motherboard is literally ALWAYS better than your front audio, unless you also happen to damage your headphone cable on the way out.

I'd try unplugging the internal audio jack, maybe that causes the problems

I didn't damage the headphone cable, I have tested it on my phone as well as my brother's phone to be sure. Both work fine.

If you know anything about electronics it would be a pretty easy replacement. But if you don't then I'm sure you might know someone who used to work at the radio shack down the road before it closed down that would probably replace it for you for like 5 or 10 dollars.
