Im using Windows 7. There are two input/output jack plug front (where the power button is) and back on the PC. The front plugins arent working (no sounds) while on the back works. I want the front to be working, what to do?

Front audio connectors are typically
- headphone output
- microphone input
As you may know, you should not connect speakers, powered speakers or a normal amplifier to a headphone output because these expect different signal levels.
Read audio connectors are typically different signal levels and impedances from front connectors
- line out
- line in
- speakers out
- left front
- right front
- etc
Sometimes they include
- microphone in
As you know, you must match devices to signal levels and impedances expected by each of these. For example, connecting a microphone to line-in will result in inaudible or very weak recording levels.
