Apparently, for some inexplicable reason, this board does NOT have a rear speaker jack plug on the rear of the MB. Manual say the FRONT mic/headphone port is used for this in a 5.1 speaker configuration (umm thanks for wrecking the ascetics of my build that I have to run a cable from the front of the PC to the back just for speakers, but I digress)

Anyway. The front, center and subwoofer channels are working fine when testing (windows speaker configuration test, where it sends a tone to each channel) But I have no sound from the rears. This is a new build and the speakers work perfectly on the old rig so it is not a speaker hardware issue.

I have USB wireless headphones so there is no conflict with any analog cables for that.

How do I get the rear speakers to work properly with this front mic/headphone port?

TIA
