    Hey guys,
    I've had this issue since I built my PC. When I'm using the headphone jack on the front of my PC, the audio is a little bit too low for my liking. Is there anyway to adjust this or is it a case of the quality of the part is not up to play?
    If that is the case, is there anything I can get that perhaps will allow me to use my headphones with the audio ports on the back. Sort of like the bose thing they have in their shop.
    Cheers

    The Front panel jacks can be a bit ****. back ones are a lot better. You can get an lead extender and plug it into the Green jack

    Yeah that sounds like a better idea. I had one lying around the house until I broke it up to use it for a project. I'll probably be able to pick one up cheap.

    Get a sound card would be another suggestion

    Either way I'm going to need an extension cable right? Sound card ports are at the back?
