If you cannot hear any sound from the front panel jack of your computer system, there might be no driver software installed for your sound device. Remember that you have to install the sound driver of your computer for you to be able to hear sounds from you head set and speaker. At this point, you cannot really hear any sounds whatever speaker device you plug into the front panel. Goodluck.

Regards,

Mark
