Okay, ever since I built this machine a year ago, I've had issues with the audio and mic jacks. I managed to come to some sort of delicate balance where both jacks on the front worked fine.
Then I moved and that balance was broken and I've been having issues ever since. The audio jack in the front seems to be broken. Only some very faint sound comes through. The mic jack in the front is more or less ok other than having to unplug and replug it in periodically.
The audio jack on the back of the computer is fine. The mic jack on the back seems to just not pick up much of any sound without putting the mic and mic boost levels at 100 and 30 db respectively.
Anyone have any thoughts?
