front panel audio not working

I just got the cloud revolver's and I plugged them into my front panel audio and I'm not getting any sound.  It's not the headphones, I tried them on something else, and my previous headphones weren't plugged into the front panel.  I have the MSI B85-G41 and the define R4.  Yes, the HD-audio cable is plugged in and Yes, the cable is securely plugged into the front panel.  When I go to playback devices/Recording Devices neither the port for the speakers nor the port for the microphone show up in the devices listed, even in the ones that are not active.  Any ideas?  I just installed the realtek hd audio drivers for my motherboard, but that didn't help.

I can help with programming and hardware.

Check the "Disabled" Audio Devices along with the "Enabled" and "disconnected" ones, it's probably hiding in there.

no, everything is enabled.  Some say not plugged in, but I think those are ports that actually don't have anything plugged into them

I can help with programming and hardware.
