So, I assembled my new PC last Friday, but the front audio jacks weren't working. I even disconnected and reconnected the connector once, and it didn't do anything. Well, I did it once more, this time trying to position the cable differently. It worked, so I put it where it was originally, and it was still working (and still is). It's a bit of a tight fit, so the cable's a bit twisted, but it's twisted a bit differently now, so maybe that was the cause. I kind of suspect the issue is actually that I didn't line up the connector correctly and missed the other row of pins entirely... twice, since I had one earlier attempt at fixing the issue. I almost managed to do that now too, which leads me to think this is what was causing the issue. Definitely not my proudest moment if that's the case, and also not something I expected to go wrong.
