Area 51 front audio jack broken

Today my front audio jack stopped working. This has been tested on multiple devices already and is definitely a hardware issue since the Sound Blaster jack audio detection popup no longer comes up when something is plugged into the port, it does still come up for the microphone port.

I have re-installed all the drivers just to double check but still no luck.

When something is plugged in I can still hear static so there definitely is still a connection.

I opened up the right panel to see if anything is disconnected but it still seems to be all connected properly inside. 

Anyone else experienced a similar issue? Any ideas how this could be resolved or what to check on the hardware side of things?

Thank you!

Old Area51 R1 or newer R2?

 

Does it work in the back ports?

Hi pete5001‌,

Yes, it seems to be a hardware problem. If your system is still in warranty, send me a private message with the Service Tag so I can assist you further.
