M59 Classic front panel Audio

[Soarin]

Well I own an NZXT Classic m59. The front panel audio is not working but the USB and Power buttons are. I checked the headers going to the motherboard, they are correct. I also checked to make sure the HD sound header is not plugged into the pinout instead of the ac '97 header. This is in windows 7 pro x64. Now right now I cant boot into windows 7 without sae mode because my Radeon 5770 fan died and when trying to boot using onboard graphics it BSOD on me. Anyways I have Kubuntu 13.10 installed on my spare HDD and using that. The front panel audio works with Kubuntu but not Windows 7. I do also have my motherboards, which is a Gigabyte GA-880GA-UD3H, the manufacturers driver for the audio (Realtek driver) installed and still nothing. The front panel audio did not work even without that driver installed. I tried other drivers and no dice.

Any clue as to what it is? I think driver because it works in Kubuntu and not Windows 7.

And crap.. posted in thw rong forum I think.. if so can a mod move it please

If the front panel audio is working in kubuntu but not windows 7 its a windows 7/soundboard/motherboard driver issue.

Thats what I was thinking too but can't seem to get it working.

Reviving this thread because I tried again since my usb headset finally died. Still cannot get FPA to work in windows 7. Still cannot get it to work even with older drivers. Anyone have a clue? Got a new headset on the way and need the front panel audio ports.
