    PC won’t recognise 3.5 mm

    My pc worked fine nothing happened that could cause this and today a turned it on and it just won’t recognise any 3.5 mm jack, headphones nor speakers doesn’t work it’s just like nothing is plugged in but when I plug my old headphones through USB they work just fine…Can this be only hardware problem or there is something I can do to fix it?
    On the picture both,headphones and speakers,are plugged in from behind and on front but just won’t recognise them.

    The fact that your USB headphones work mean that the audio chip and drivers are ok and that the issue is with the 3.5mm jack or jack port/s.
    On the picture both,headphones and speakers,are plugged in from behind and on front but just won’t recognise them.

    You can’t have both ports connected at the same time and what normally happens is that the jack port on the MB itself takes priority over any 3.5mm port/s that may be on the front of the case.

      Yeah yeah I always keep my speakers plugged in from behind and headphones on front and when I want to use speakers I just unplug headphones but that way I saw that both my 3.5 mm don’t work…
      So it’s possible that both of them,on front and from behind stopped working in same time?It just doesn’t make sense that both headphones and speakers died in same time…

        Who said that it was the headphone and speakers :unsure:

        The rear audio ports and the front audio ports are on the same circuit and likewise so are the headphone ports + as you have already been advised the fact that your USB headphones work mean that the audio chip and drivers are ok so a hardware issue with the 3.5mm circuit can be the only cause.

          Well you said it can be issue with 3.5 mm jack and that is on headphones and speakers so I am just excluding that option…

          I will then check 3.5 mm circuit.
          Thanks for helping I appreciate that
